Rival Exec Predicts Maxx Crosby Is 'Done in Vegas' as Raiders Confront Fallout From Injury Shutdown

An ESPN-sourced prediction that he is "done in Vegas" has intensified pressure on Las Vegas to repair its relationship with the All-Pro pass-rusher.

Overview

  • An unnamed personnel executive told ESPN he believes Maxx Crosby is "done in Vegas," fueling offseason trade speculation that remains unconfirmed by the player or team.
  • Las Vegas shut Crosby down for the final two games with a lingering knee injury, a move he opposed, and the team said the decision was made in the best interest of both the franchise and the player.
  • Cornerback Eric Stokes criticized the shutdown, and former head coach Pete Carroll said Crosby left the facility after learning he would not play and backed Crosby’s reaction.
  • NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported Crosby is expected to undergo a meniscus trim with an anticipated quick recovery.
  • The Raiders lost both games without Crosby to finish 3–14 and secure the No. 1 pick, while GM John Spytek publicly downplayed trade rumors as he and minority owner Tom Brady oversee football operations.
