Maxx Crosby Shut Down, Back With Raiders as Pete Carroll Says Rift Is Resolved

Team insiders say there are no plans to trade him, tempering league-wide interest and speculation.

Overview

  • The Raiders placed Crosby on injured reserve with a knee injury before Week 17, ending his season, and multiple reports say he is expected to undergo offseason surgery.
  • Carroll told reporters Crosby returned to the facility and that they are “eye-to-eye,” characterizing the brief dispute over shutting him down as settled.
  • On SiriusXM’s Let’s Go! podcast, Crosby said he is doing “phenomenal” and focused on teammates, offering no declaration about seeking a move.
  • Trade chatter intensified with reports that roughly 20 teams inquired about his availability, but Adam Schefter reported the Raiders currently have no plans to move him as contract math makes a deal feasible but consequential.
  • Las Vegas’ Week 17 loss to the Giants after sitting multiple starters improved its position for the No. 1 pick in the 2026 draft, linking Crosby’s shutdown to broader roster and draft strategy questions.
