Maxx Crosby Addresses Trade Rumors Amid Raiders' Struggles
Maxx Crosby, the star pass-rusher for the Las Vegas Raiders, recently addressed trade rumors suggesting he could be dealt for two first-round draft picks ahead of the NFL trade deadline on November 10. This speculation comes as the Raiders, currently with a 3-4 record, prepare to face the 2-5 New York Jets this Sunday.
During a press conference, Crosby emphasized his focus on winning rather than the trade discussions. He expressed a desire to help the team make the playoffs, dismissing outside negativity as part of the current sports landscape. Earlier this year, the Baltimore Ravens had shown interest in acquiring Crosby but withdrew due to concerns over his injury.
As the Raiders navigate a four-game losing streak, questions arise about potential changes in the team's lineup, including the quarterback position. Crosby urged his teammates to remain optimistic despite the challenges, stating that overcoming doubt can serve as motivation. The Raiders are currently viewed as 1.5-point underdogs against the Jets, with speculation about potential coaching changes for the Jets if they lose.
