As he has elevated himself to be one of the best edge rushers in the NFL and toiled in a losing situation with the Las Vegas Raiders, trade speculation has lurked around Maxx Crosby. But he has been steadfast in his desire to stay with the team that drafted him, and he backed it up when he signed a three-year, $106.5 million contract extension in March.
Crosby has 4.0 sacks through seven games this season, along with 10 tackles for loss. But the Raiders' dismal 31-0 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 7 invited questions about the direction that the team is going, including some reasonable wondering about Crosby's future in Las Vegas.
