It has been yet another abysmal season for the Las Vegas Raiders, which means yet another year of disappointment for defensive end Maxx Crosby.<\/p>\n
Crosby is one of the best players in football, but he has made the playoffs just once since being drafted by the Raiders back in 2019.<\/p>\n
All of the losing has to be frustrating for the superstar pass rusher, which has led to some people wondering if Las Vegas could entertain a blockbuster trade heading into the offseason.<\/p>\n
Remember: teams did inquire<\/u><\/a> about Crosby back at the trade deadline<\/u><\/a>.<\/p>\n So, could Las Vegas actually put the 27-year-old up for trade in the coming months?<\/p>\n Michael Ginnitti of Spotrac doesn’t seem to think so, as he is predicting that the Raiders will sign Crosby to a three-year, $100 million extension.<\/p>\n “Crosby should be seeking a new deal this spring, but does it make sense for he and the Raiders to lock in to something significant right now?” Ginnitti wrote<\/a>. “It\u2019ll take an aggressive offseason to begin to truly right this ship – but that\u2019s exactly what we\u2019re anticipating here.”<\/p>\n Las Vegas is slated to have a wealth of cap room heading into the offseason and is actually in very solid shape financially at the moment, so it can definitely afford to extend Crosby.<\/p>\n Of course, the question is, would Crosby be open<\/u><\/a> to a long-term deal at this point?<\/p>\n The Eastern Michigan product may want to ensure that the Raiders are headed in a positive direction before he commits to anything, and as of right now, Las Vegas has a lot to prove in that department.<\/p>\n That being said, he has made it crystal clear that he wants to spend his whole career with the Silver and Black and retire a Raider. He wants to be with Las Vegas. <\/p>\n This is an absolutely critical offseason for the Raiders, who have a plethora of holes to fill up and down the roster and absolutely need to hit it big in the NFL Draft.<\/p>\n Falling down in the draft order has been devastating for a Las Vegas squad that may have had its heart set on Shedeur Sanders, but that doesn’t mean the Raiders don’t still have a chance to land a franchise-altering player with their first-round pick.<\/p>\n Crosby played in 12 games before hitting the injured reserve list this season, registering 45 tackles, 7.5 sacks and five passes defended.<\/p>\n Even with Crosby missing considerable time in 2024, he was still voted to his fourth straight Pro Bowl.<\/p>\n Ensure you follow on X (Twitter)\u00a0@HondoCarpenter<\/a>\u00a0and IG\u00a0@HondoSr<\/a>\u00a0and never miss another breaking news story again.<\/p>\n Please let us know your thoughts when you like our Facebook page\u00a0WHEN YOU CLICK RIGHT HERE<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
