An unnamed NFL general manager relayed that news to LaCanfora. The report states Crosby\u2019s representatives have begun informing other teams that he has no intentions of playing for the Raiders again.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Last week, noted and highly respected NFL insider Jay Glazer, who has said he talks to Crosby, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.silverandblackpride.com\/las-vegas-raiders-news\/121711\/raiders-news-maxx-crosby-trade-jay-glazer\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">told Yahoo Sports<\/a> on Wednesday that he expected Crosby to be traded before the draft. Glazer said the reason will be because Crosby wants out because he doesn\u2019t want to go through another rebuild, which the Raiders will be embarking on under new coach Klint Kubiak.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Crosby\u2019s future became in question in late December when the team shut him down for the final two games because of a knee injury that he ended up having surgery for. Crosby said he wants to play and briefly left the team because of his anger. He has often said he was tiring of losing and he wants to win now.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Crosby, who turns 29 in August, is one of the NFL\u2019s best overall defensive ends. he excels against the pass and the run. Last week, in multiple interviews, Crosby took the high road and said he is focused on getting ready for the season. In the end, he dins\u2019t say with clarity what he wants, though.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Sunday, NFL Media reported that a Crosby trade could take time as he recovers from knee surgery.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">What should we make of all of this? Really, it\u2019s a wait-and-see situation, but one thing is clear, the Crosby trade chatter isn\u2019t going to stop any time soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Another day, another Maxx Crosby trade rumor.
