Las Vegas Raiders owner Mark Davis has responded with deep emotion following a stunning wave of reactions from the NFL community regarding star defensive end Maxx Crosby. The three-time Pro Bowler and heart of the Raiders’ defense has been the subject of intense speculation, with concerns swirling around his future with the team.
In a statement released Monday, Davis expressed his dismay at the messages he has received, calling them “unexpected and deeply unsettling.” While the Raiders’ owner did not disclose specific details, sources close to the organization suggest that members of the league—from fellow players to executives—have raised concerns about Crosby’s long-term commitment to Las Vegas amid swirling trade rumors.
“Maxx Crosby is the soul of this franchise,” Davis stated. “He represents everything we stand for—toughness, loyalty, and dedication. To hear some of the things being said about him and his future here is heartbreaking. We want him here, and we want to build a championship team with him.”
Crosby, 26, has been a dominant force for the Raiders, registering double-digit sacks in each of the last three seasons. His leadership on and off the field has made him one of the most respected players in the league. However, reports have surfaced suggesting that multiple teams have expressed interest in trading for the star pass rusher, leading to speculation about whether he is being pushed toward an uncertain future.
Despite the noise, Crosby has remained focused on his work. In a recent interview, he reaffirmed his commitment to the Raiders but admitted that business decisions in the NFL are out of his control. “I love this team, I love this city, and I give everything I have to this organization,” Crosby said. “But at the end of the day, the league is a business, and things happen.”
Davis, however, made it clear that he has no intentions of parting ways with Crosby. “There’s no Raider like Maxx Crosby, and there won’t be another one. He’s a cornerstone of our future,” Davis asserted.
As the NFL offseason heats up, fans are left wondering what the future holds for Crosby. Will the Raiders shut down all trade talks and reaffirm their commitment to their star defender, or will the league’s persistent interest force a tough decision?
For now, Davis’ words leave no doubt—Crosby is more than just a player in Las Vegas. He’s a Raider, and the team is willing to fight to keep him.
