Is Maxx Crosby done in Las Vegas?
The Las Vegas Raiders star has reportedly told Tom Brady, who owns a stake in the franchise, that he's done with the team. Crosby was linked to trade rumors heading into the deadline last season. However, the Raiders opted to hold onto him.
But according to a new report, Crosby has told Brady that he'll never play for the Las Vegas Raiders again.
"Crosby's representatives have begun informing high-ranking officials from other NFL teams that the All Pro, livid over being asked to sit out the end of the regular season despite believing he was healthy enough to play, will never suit up for the Raiders again and is intent on playing elsewhere in 2026," Jason La Canfora reported.
"However, those same executives, along with others involved in the market for top pass rushers, are not thoroughly convinced that the Raiders will adhere to Crosby's request and believe the team could ask for more in return for him than other clubs will be willing to part with."

While Crosby is still under contract, the Raiders star has made it clear in speaking to Tom Brady that he is refusing to suit up for Las Vegas again.
Crosby sent clear message to Brady
Crosby reportedly told Brady that he has no interest in suiting up for the Raiders again.
"He told (Raiders owner and future Hall of Fame quarterback) Tom Brady he will never play for the Raiders again," said one NFL general manager, per La Canfora.
"That's a fact. He told them he'll retire before he ever plays for them again. But I'm not sure they're actually going to trade him. (Browns pass rusher) Myles Garrett said the same thing last year, and we know how that ended up."
Garrett, of course, remained in Cleveland.
Will the same be true of Crosby?
