Maxx Crosby’s eventual departure from the Las Vegas Raiders moved from “possible” to seemingly “inevitable” this week. That could potentially pay huge dividends for the Seattle Seahawks.
The elite defensive end has always said the right things about wanting to remain a Raider for life, and Raiders officials have remained equally upbeat about holding onto their best defensive player. But this season, things have changed.
The Raiders are currently tied with the Giants for the worst record in the league. Their point differential stands at minus 169, far worse than any other team. They have no long-term plan at quarterback and very few young players around whom to build a team.
