The Las Vegas Raiders have had a season filled with drama, seemingly from the onset of training camp. After a 2-13 start, there was a sense of relief among fans that the year was finally coming to an end, with the Raiders controlling their own destiny to the No. 1 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.
Ahead of their Week 17 "Tank Bowl" matchup with the New York Giants, Las Vegas shut down Brock Bowers, Jeremy Chinn, and, eventually, Maxx Crosby. There were plenty of reports that the latter was not happy with the decision, leading to speculation about his future with the franchise.
