Maxx Crosby on his podcast.

Raiders pass rusher Maxx Crosby went on his podcast to address the trade rumors surrounding himself in recent weeks that have only picked up as the NFL trade deadline approaches.

Crosby, who has spent his entire professional career with the Raiders after being drafted in the fourth round of the 2019 draft out of Eastern Michigan said that he’s “not trying to leave” and that he “(wants) to be a Raider”.

Now this doesn’t mean a whole lot when it comes to whether Crosby gets dealt. This is the same sense that it doesn’t mean a whole lot when Mark Davis says that the Maxx Crosby trade “isn’t happening”. The Raiders already dealt Davante Adams, so it’s definitely plausible that Crosby goes too. In any sense, Crosby is a pro who’s well-versed in dealing with the media and covering his ass when it comes to being prepared for any outcome in the next couple of weeks.
