Reports are intensifying that Maxx Crosby may have played his last snap in Silver and Black. Multiple league insiders, including Jay Glazer and Dianna Russini, are expressing "increasing skepticism" that the five-time Pro Bowler will return to the team in 2026. The friction reportedly reached a boiling point when the Raiders forced Crosby to sit out the final two games of the regular season due to a meniscus injury. Crosby, known for his relentless mentality, was said to be livid with the decision, viewing it as a move toward tanking rather than competing. At 28 years old and in his physical prime, Crosby has reportedly made it clear that he isn't interested in sitting through another total roster reset. If the Raiders do decide to move him, the asking price is expected to be big. For Las Vegas, trading Crosby would be a culture-defining move. He has been the face of the franchise since 2019, and moving him would signify a complete commitment to a "ground-up" rebuild under new leadership.
