Las Vegas Raiders owner Mark Davis says there’s no chance his team trades All-Pro edge rusher Maxx Crosby.
The Raiders dropped to 2-4 with Sunday’s loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers and traded receiver Davante Adams to the New York Jets on Tuesday. With the NFL Nov. 5 trade deadline approaching, there have been rumors that Las Vegas could focus on its rebuild and deal Crosby to add significant draft capital in exchange for its best player.
“There’s so much outside chatter that is not true,” Davis recently said, according to Vic Tafur and Tashan Reed of The Athletic. “It’s not coming from any sources. It’s not coming from anything. My basic thing is never to answer all that stuff because, otherwise, you get trapped in this black hole. It’s just not happening.”
Adams requested a trade from the Raiders earlier this season amid the team’s inconsistent start to the 2024 campaign. However, Crosby – who’s been with the team since 2019 – has repeatedly said he wants to remain with Las Vegas.
