Raiders not planning on trading Maxx Crosby, sources say - ESPN

One of the hottest names at last year's NFL trade deadline is generating little buzz this year.

Las Vegas Raiders star defensive end Maxx Crosby does not appear to be going anywhere, league sources told ESPN.

Unlike last year, when Crosby openly wondered about his future in Las Vegas, this year he doesn't want to go anywhere and the Raiders currently have no plans to trade him, according to league sources.

The Raiders haven't had any discussions this season with any teams about a potential Crosby deal, sources said.

In the days leading up to this year's Nov. 10 deadline, a team always could check in on Crosby and inquire about what it might take to try to trade for the five-time Pro Bowler.

But those potential calls have not yet occurred, and if they do, they are not expected to change the Raiders' stance. They certainly won't change Crosby's.

«Maxx absolutely does not want to leave Las Vegas under any circumstances,» one source told ESPN this weekend. «His hope, though not in his full control, is that he remains a Raider for life.»

This is what the Raiders also hope, though the NFL continually demonstrates that other teams have the ability to change a team's plans, as the Seattle Seahawks, San Francisco 49ers and Chicago Bears proved this past week when they pulled off big trades.

The Baltimore Ravens traded two first-round draft picks to the Raiders in the offseason for Crosby, who ultimately failed his physical in Baltimore, nullifying the deal.

This season, the Raiders have the chance to get to .500 in the month of November for the first time since 2020, when they were 3-3. The Raiders (3-4) play in New Jersey on Sunday against the New York Jets, and they are counting on Crosby to try to wreak more havoc and help
