Raiders' Maxx Crosby Denies Trade Speculation: 'I Don't Want to Go Anywhere'

Maxx Crosby is committed to staying with the Las Vegas Raiders.

The star defensive end pushed back on rumors that he may not be happy with the franchise and said that he would "take a bullet" for his teammates and cited his Raiders tattoo as examples of his devotion to the franchise.

"You know where I want to be," Crosby said, per Paul Gutierrez of ESPN. "You think I want to be anywhere else? No. I got this shit tatted on my body. I don't want to go anywhere...it's just funny. You've got a lot of people that have a lot to say when they really don't know what's going on."

Crosby recorded three tackles and two sacks in the Week 5 loss to the Denver Broncos. He already has five sacks on the season and remains a menacing presence on the Raiders defensive line.

Despite his strong play, Las Vegas has not been experiencing much success. The team is 2-3 on the season and sits in last place in the AFC West. While there is plenty of time to turn the season around, it will take significantly better play in all facets of the game to accomplish this.

Crosby has two years remaining on his current contract but there is an "out" following the 2024 season. He could potentially be a rental piece for a contending team and would likely yield a significant trade package back to the Raiders. However, he appears to prefer hanging through and helping the team take steps forward down the road.
