Key Points:
- Maxx Crosby, a standout edge rusher for the Raiders, has frequently violated practice rules by making contact with quarterbacks during drills, reflecting his intense playing style and drive despite the team's underperformance.
- Relations between Crosby and the Raiders deteriorated last December when the team shut him down for the final two games, a move seen as tanking that led to Crosby leaving the training facility in frustration.
- With the Raiders entering a rebuild and holding the first overall draft pick, they are expected to trade Crosby, who wants to join a contender, in exchange for valuable draft capital to aid future success.
- The Raiders are seeking a high-value trade package similar to what the Cowboys received for Micah Parsons, but Crosby’s recent knee surgery
