Las Vegas Raiders Expect to Keep DE Maxx Crosby Amid Trade Speculation
- John Spytek, the Las Vegas Raiders general manager, told reporters Tuesday at the NFL scouting combine in Indianapolis that he expects Maxx Crosby to play for the Raiders in the 2026 season and that `He’s in the building every day getting healthy right now.`
- After a late-season knee problem, Crosby was placed on injured reserve with two games left, despite his wish to play, following his injury on Oct. 19 and surgery after the season.
- Spytek said the Raiders will keep listening, noting they hold the second-most salary cap space and eight draft picks, including potentially for Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza.
- Despite praise for Crosby, Spytek noted he is not untradeable while Kubiak and Davis want Crosby to stay amid the Raiders' rebuild.
- Discussing long-term construction, Spytek noted the team could trade to add assets while still considering Fernando Mendoza, saying, `We're going to build it the right way, and we'll see what comes.
