Earlier this week, ESPN insider Adam Schefter revealed that teams may start inquiring about Las Vegas Raiders defensive end Maxx Crosby.

“I would say that the Dallas Cowboys are having conversations about moves that they can make before the trade deadline to try to improve that defense, just like Jerry Jones said that they could and would once they traded Micah Parsons,” Schefter said on his podcast. “I’m not telling you they’ll be able to pull anything off. But I would not be surprised if we hear Dallas at the very least inquiring about the availability of various defensive players and ultimately trading for one.”

Raiders not interested in trading away Maxx Crosby before or during the deadline

Why wouldn’t teams at least call and ask when the Raiders are terrible and Crosby is playing at such a high level? The Raiders, though, quickly shut down those calls. According to Tom Pelissero of NFL Media, the Raiders are not entertaining any type of Crosby trade.

“The Raiders met with star DE Maxx Crosby today to let him know they aren’t shopping him and won’t trade him, sources tell me. While other teams are interested, the Raiders aren’t interested in moving their best player, and Crosby wants to stay in Las Vegas. Nobody wants to win more than Maxx Crosby, and he wants to do it with the Raiders. Despite various rumors with the trade deadline two weeks away, the face of the franchise isn’t leaving Las Vegas,” Pelissero tweeted.

Crosby is the definition of a Raider. He is what it used to mean to wear Silver and Black. He’s the only thing left that even resembles what the Raiders used to stand for before they turned into what they are now. Trading him away would be Pete Carroll and John Spytek asking to be fired.
