Las Vegas Raiders star Maxx Crosby has sparked trade speculation after making candid remarks about his contract situation, just as his deal is set to expire at the end of the 2024 NFL season. Crosby, known for his relentless play on the defensive line, openly discussed the possibility of moving on from the Raiders, highlighting his uncertain future as the team faces critical decisions regarding his next contract.
“I’ve given everything to this team, but I can’t ignore the business side of things,” Crosby said in an interview following the team’s latest game. “The NFL is a business, and if it’s time for me to move on, I’ll do what I need to do. My priority is winning, and wherever that may be, I’ll go.”
These comments have fueled speculation that Crosby, who has become one of the most dominant defensive players in the league, could be eyeing a fresh start elsewhere. With his contract expiring and the Raiders’ performance in flux, many have questioned if the team will meet his high demands for a new deal.
Raiders owner Mark Davis quickly addressed the situation, acknowledging Crosby’s importance to the team but expressing concerns over the defensive lineman’s “high demands” in contract negotiations. “Maxx is a cornerstone of our defense, but we have to be realistic about the financial landscape,” Davis said. “We love Maxx, but we have a budget to work within, and we can’t overspend in any one area.”
With the 2024 season coming to a close, the future of Crosby in Las Vegas remains uncertain. Both sides are at a crossroads, and the coming months will determine whether the Raiders can retain one of the league’s top defenders or if Crosby’s tenure in Vegas will come to an end.
