Raiders Announce Maxx Crosby’s Trade Status Before NFL Deadline

Maxx Crosby, a prominent defensive player for the Las Vegas Raiders, will not be traded ahead of the NFL deadline. Reports from the NFL Network confirm that the Raiders have decided to keep the star pass rusher, despite interest from other teams.

Maxx Crosby: Staying with the Raiders

The Raiders currently hold a 2-5 record and had received inquiries about the four-time Pro Bowler. However, Crosby met with the team and expressed his desire to remain in Las Vegas. As of now, he is not on the trading block before the NFL trade deadline on November 4, 2025.

Crosby’s Season Performance

At 28 years old, Crosby has had a strong season thus far. His statistics through seven games include:

  • 28 total tackles
  • 4 sacks
  • 1 forced fumble
  • 1 interception

Crosby joined the Raiders when he was drafted 106th overall from Eastern Michigan in 2019. He has faced several challenges, including coaching changes and disappointing seasons.

Pete Carroll Era in Las Vegas

This season marks the Raiders’ first under head coach Pete Carroll. The Super Bowl-winning coach took over in January, replacing Antonio Pierce after a lackluster 4-13 season. Pierce had been appointed interim head coach in November 2023 following the dismissal of Josh McDaniels.

Upcoming Challenges

The Raiders will attempt to recover following a heavy 31-0 defeat to the Kansas City Chiefs. Crosby is expected to return for their upcoming clash against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 9.

While Crosby remains with the Raiders, the future of other players could still be uncertain. Discontented wide receiver Jakobi Meyers has reiterated his request for a trade, maintaining that he aims to perform well despite the situation. He has recorded:

  • 29 receptions
  • 329 receiving yards
  • 0 touchdowns

As the NFL trade deadline approaches, it remains to be seen which players may change teams ahead of the cutoff.
