lol. They went from not having any issues with their best player, even though he’s got a million reasons to want out, to pissing him off and getting him to want out. Perfectly Raiders.
Sad thing is its the right move. The raiders have been dog shit at qb so long actually tanking all in to get one is crucial. We won 2 games with maxx sorry but defensive ends even mylesbgarret and his 50 sacks don't mean shit when you don't have a "guy" under center. We have to try
I respect players, especially elite players, for sticking with a team through the bad times, but their situation is so fucking bad, I wouldn’t want that guy wasting his prime years.
I understand why players do stick with shitty teams. NFL teams are corporate America and will fire/cut when productivity dives. NFL owners don't have loyalty.
They did this shit to Derrick Carr so they could save him for trade value they never got. DC was so pissed he screwed the Raiders on his way out. It’s happening all over again.
I don't think the point is to feel sorry for anyone. It's more to point out the stupidity of the Raiders in antagonizing the best player on the team and giving him reasons to leave in the off season.
Its to worsen their chances of winning the battle of the bottom this weekend with the giants. If the raiders win, they end up potentially going from the first overall pick to the 3rd. So realistically, its better for the franchise to have their stars not play because doing something like constantly having the center yeet the snap out of the endzone for infinite safeties would probably cause the league to take away the pick somehow. Players dont want to intentionally lose because it hurts them in negotiation time so its not like you can tell Geno to throw tons of picks so they can draft his replacement.
Never understood his allegiance to the Raiders up to this point. Awful franchise, depressing city. I don’t often condone players forcing their way off teams, but his situation makes sense as an exception. Same for Myles Garrett.
Don’t think we will this offseason or next season, but I think part of the plan of drafting Burden is to have him become the WR2 down the line and use that to move DJ as a trade piece.
They're also not getting Maxx but if they want a way or more cap I'd get rid of those 2 players. I do hope Bears find a way to get Garrett or Hendrickson as both want out from their teams but that's so unlikely.
Lions window isn’t closing. They had a lot of new coaches and didn’t properly address O/D -line needs in the offseason. That and losing your two all-pro safeties with most of your starting CBs being down for chunks of the season, they were bound to have a bad year.
You just named a bunch of defensive issues but it was the offense that completely shit the bed and gave the game away while the defensive secondary allowed 3 net passing yards and still lost
This all being overblown and Crosby knows the right move at this point is to play to lose and the team knows if he plays he won’t play to lose so rather than insult him by pulling him they told him sit down and heal for next yr
"If the Raiders dont want me here they can just forget it im gonna fulfill my dream and true passion and reach Lebel 987413 in Mouse Quest" -Maxx Crosby as told to Pim
He can play for any team he wants. Any GM would move heaven and earth to make room for him and he chooses to be a raider. That’s some Stockholm syndrome type shit.
He left the facility, they don’t want him to play. Seems the raiders got what they wanted.
5D chess

I would generally agree.
But you don’t need to sit Maxx (and Brock) to do it and now you might lose at least one, plus get penalized by the league.
Is there even a qb worth tanking for this year?
Yes. Fernando
The Autumn Wind is a Raider… and it blows…
If he leaves the amount of marketing changes EVERYWHERE here in Vegas with him is going to be wild.
Even my gym has a 30 ft mural of him on the wall.
Additional comment: there’s a billboard on 215 heading into the strip that says “TIME TO COMPETE” with Pete Carroll.
It did not age well.
That sign was part of the Pete Carroll wooing campaign. It actually read: “Time to come, Pete.”
A huge miss here for some Vegas fertility clinic tie-in.
Maybe if you’re in the market for some dust lol
" i have enough, thanks."
That’s how Dallas was with Luka, and they still traded him out of nowhere. So it’s possible lol
This dude needs to get away from that disaster.
I respect players, especially elite players, for sticking with a team through the bad times, but their situation is so fucking bad, I wouldn’t want that guy wasting his prime years.

👀
If we get pick 1 and actually get a real qb shit might start change.
They did this shit to Derrick Carr so they could save him for trade value they never got. DC was so pissed he screwed the Raiders on his way out. It’s happening all over again.
Except Carr got released not traded
I read this as : team tells player to stay home, player goes home
Him and Garrett signed on knowingly terrible teams for the money. Don't feel sorry for either one
I don't think the point is to feel sorry for anyone. It's more to point out the stupidity of the Raiders in antagonizing the best player on the team and giving him reasons to leave in the off season.
Best player on team and still only 2 wins. Bears weren't shit till they got caleb. E
Bengals, snag this dude now.
Yeah go from one bad org to another Maxx!
They aren’t shutting anyone down so he can play all the games!
Can they afford him after what they’ve already spent on the offense?
Too many people pretend like it’s a coincidence that the bengals offense has been good and the defense has sucked the last few years
Ah, the Cowboys special.
They can’t pay Hendrickson but gonna pay even more for Crosby?
The could have paid Hendrickson. They chose not to
Semantics. But point being they’re not gonna choose to pay Crosby even more
They don't spend on defensive players.
No one wants to play for that poverty franchise
Alright, Las Vegas, hear me out. As a part-owner, I submit the following deal on behalf of the Packers:
You give him to us and we’ll take him to the Super Bowl for you.
"part owner" lol
Pretty sure the Bengals can’t keep their own players either. Good try.
Two 1st round picks and he's yours
I bet you could get him for Burrow.
The Bengals won’t sign a quarter pounder with cheese from the local McDonalds.
Hell no, screw cincy
Ravens, snag this dude! Not that you have the money...
Nope. HERE WE GO STEELERS.
something something Browns will mumble mumble
Congrats Tom Brady you succeeded in destroying the Raiders
lol. Try mark davis
Try Al Davis.
I could but he’s been dead for 14 years

Luckily, they don't have to ask Geno to do this.
What do you mean? We have been awful for 20 years. There was nothing for him to destroy. We get pick 1 next year and we can get an actual qb
How much does he really have. Seem like pete choice
Never understood his allegiance to the Raiders up to this point. Awful franchise, depressing city. I don’t often condone players forcing their way off teams, but his situation makes sense as an exception. Same for Myles Garrett.
Just trade him to Seattle
Absofrigginlootly
They are pissing off their best players to secure the #1 pick in the draft. Raiders continue to do Raider things.
It's literally the right move.
Hi come to the Bears now please!
the bears have only 8 mil cap space next year idk how that’ll happen very easily
8-17M depending on roster moves, plus the cap should increase next year, increased by 30M this past season for example. It’s not ‘no’
Trade Stevenson and Moore
They are not trading Moore.
Don’t think we will this offseason or next season, but I think part of the plan of drafting Burden is to have him become the WR2 down the line and use that to move DJ as a trade piece.
They're also not getting Maxx but if they want a way or more cap I'd get rid of those 2 players. I do hope Bears find a way to get Garrett or Hendrickson as both want out from their teams but that's so unlikely.
They should but his contract makes him an undesirable asset.
Can the Raiders send Jeanty away too, they’re gonna kill him
Maxx, come back to the bay
Man I know it’s not feasible but I would love to see him paired with Aiden Hutchinson.
Yeah, Lions window closing like it did. Aiden on the Raiders is a good fit.
Lol Raiders are way worse than the Lions.
Lions window isn’t closing. They had a lot of new coaches and didn’t properly address O/D -line needs in the offseason. That and losing your two all-pro safeties with most of your starting CBs being down for chunks of the season, they were bound to have a bad year.

Commitment To Excellence
This all being overblown and Crosby knows the right move at this point is to play to lose and the team knows if he plays he won’t play to lose so rather than insult him by pulling him they told him sit down and heal for next yr
Packers need to go get him.
This is Brady’s plan to help the Patriots- it’s genius
"If the Raiders dont want me here they can just forget it im gonna fulfill my dream and true passion and reach Lebel 987413 in Mouse Quest" -Maxx Crosby as told to Pim
49ers could really use a pass rush upgrade
[removed]
And he's gathering his biker buddies to come trash the place!
They really want at #1 pick.
Crosby three steps ahead.
Never going to happen but imagine him and Parsons on opposite side of the edge and just putting the fear of God into QBs
What’s he gonna do? Never leave the facility?
Bowers is wasting his youth on this team
Welcome to the patriots
The only dude upset about being given PTO
"Guy Shows Up to Work, Goes Home"
Who's gonna stop him if he just decides to run onto the field? Like, it's his job to get past people and he's a strong boi.
Welcome to Buffalo
Seriously. Kincade and knox out this week
Maybe they’ll trade Crosby for both and just run 12 and 13 sets on offense all year… /s
Giants or Chiefs
He can play for any team he wants. Any GM would move heaven and earth to make room for him and he chooses to be a raider. That’s some Stockholm syndrome type shit.
They chose him when your armchair gm scouting report on him was "he looks too thin to play in the nfl probably a late round guy"
This might go over NFL fans heads but “Trade Crosby to Colorado!”
Sid is never leaving the burgh
Keep dreaming brother!
Lions need this guy
Titans have the cap space 👀
I don’t even get why the raiders are changing anything. Doing exactly what they’ve been doing has gotten them these results.
They might actually win with the changes that go against their initial ideas
Come on over the the 9rs maxx you know you want to
Since when this bitch have two x’s in his name?
1997
Please let this man play for the Lions, he's dreamed of it his whole life
I don’t want the Bears to burn all their draft capital
But for Crosby…I wouldn’t hate it
