The Las Vegas Raiders and Maxx Crosby have had something of an offseason, and right now, things are a little in flux. With the Baltimore Ravens walking back on their trade of Crosby after the star pass rusher failed his physical, Maxx has said all the right things since returning to Las Vegas, and for most, he's staying a Raider. But there are rumors that if a team were to come calling again, the Raiders could listen.
Personally, I think that door has been shut. And so does Bleacher Report's Moe Moton, who, on his trade panic meter, has Maxx moving on at a 2 out of 10. “According to ESPN's Ryan McFadden, the Ravens were concerned about a "degenerative issue" with Crosby's surgically-repaired knee,” Moton wrote .
“Although Crosby seems recommitted to being a Raider after the trade flop, the Raiders may still be open for business if another team is willing to give up two first-rounders. "Unless Crosby makes a miraculous full recovery within the next two weeks, he'll likely remain a Raider because of the team's steep demand for him.
