The latest buzz in the NFL is swirling around Maxx Crosby, with rumors suggesting that the Las Vegas Raiders may be considering trading the defensive end during the offseason. This speculation gained traction after Crosby was sidelined for the final two games of the season due to injury, sparking further rumors that he may not have been in agreement with the decision.
However, amidst all the trade talks and uncertainty, Crosby took to social media to share a heartwarming photo of himself with his two-year-old daughter, Ella. The photo serves as a reminder that amidst the chaos of the NFL, Crosby finds solace and peace in his family life.
In the caption of the photo, Crosby simply wrote, “My Universe,” indicating the importance of his family in his life.
Despite dealing with a torn meniscus throughout the Raiders’ season, Crosby remained a key player on the team’s defense. He underwent a procedure in the offseason to repair his knee, with reports suggesting that he is on track for a full recovery and will be ready for the 2026 season.
The Raiders’ general manager, John Spytek, recently addressed the rumors surrounding Crosby’s potential trade. Spytek expressed his admiration for Crosby as a player and made it clear that he sees no reason for the team to part ways with the talented defensive end. He emphasized the importance of having elite players like Crosby on the roster and hinted at the team’s plans to build around players of his caliber.
“Maxx is an elite player… We’re in the business of having really good players on the team and we need a lot more of them… Maxx and I have a great relationship. He’s in the building every day getting healthy right now… Maxx and I have had great conversations. I’m comfortable with knowing he wants to be a Raider,” Spytek said.
Drafted in the fourth round of the 2019 NFL Draft, Crosby has made a significant impact in his time with the Raiders, playing in 110 games and amassing impressive stats including 278 tackles, 69.5 sacks, 11 forced fumbles, and 29 passes deflected.
As the offseason progresses, all eyes will be on Maxx Crosby and the Las Vegas Raiders to see how the situation unfolds. One thing is for sure, Crosby’s dedication to his recovery and commitment to the team make him a valuable asset that the Raiders will likely want to hold onto for the upcoming season.
With the support of his family and the backing of the Raiders’ organization, Crosby is poised to make a strong comeback and continue to shine on the field in the seasons to come.
