New Las Vegas Raiders head coach Klint Kubiak and owner Mark Davis have both expressed their desire for defensive end Maxx Crosby to remain with the team. Kubiak emphasized Crosby's importance, stating he wants the All-Pro player to be part of the team's future success. Davis echoed this sentiment, highlighting Crosby's long tenure and contributions to the Raiders, hoping to keep him on the roster.

This comes amid trade rumors surrounding Crosby, fueled by reports that he is unhappy and potentially seeking a move. Crosby himself has been quiet during the offseason, stating he cannot control everything. He's currently recovering from a knee injury sustained late last season. Before the injury, Crosby had a strong season, recording 73 tackles and 10 sacks, earning his fifth Pro Bowl selection.

The Raiders are entering a rebuild under Kubiak, Crosby's fifth head coach since 2019, adding to the uncertainty surrounding his future. If traded, Crosby could generate a substantial return, potentially accelerating the team's rebuilding process. However, both Kubiak and Davis's recent comments suggest the Raiders are determined to keep their star player, given his value and leadership, and the front office has mentioned they "love Maxx".
