Las Vegas Raiders star defensive end Maxx Crosby has made his feelings clear about his future with the organization amid constant trade rumors as the team prepares for its Week 9 road matchup against the San Francisco 49ers (6-1).
Despite ongoing speculation surrounding his future in Las Vegas, Crosby reiterated his commitment to the franchise Wednesday, making it clear that he has no desire to leave.
Raiders reporter Levi Edwards shared Crosby's comments on X, formerly known as Twitter.
“I love being a Raider, I’ve said that about a million times, this is where I want to be.”
Crosby's comments come as the Raiders (4-4) look to build momentum following their 38-33 Week 8 victory over the New York Jets at MetLife Stadium on Sunday. The win snapped a four-game losing streak that included defeats against the Kansas City Chiefs, Buffalo Bills, New England Patriots and Los Angeles Rams.
The veteran pass rusher has remained a significant part of Las Vegas' defense throughout the 2026 campaign. Through eight games, Crosby has recorded 22 total tackles, including nine solo and 13 assisted stops, along with three sacks, one forced fumble, one fumble recovery and one pass defended.
Crosby also registered four tackles and one sack in the Raiders' victory over the Jets, helping the team return to .500 ahead of its upcoming divisional matchup against San Francisco.
Maxx Crosby remains committed to Raiders after bizarre offseason
Crosby's latest comments come after an unusual offseason that nearly resulted in his departure from Las Vegas.
The Raiders previously agreed to trade Crosby to the Baltimore Ravens in exchange for two first-round draft picks, including Baltimore's No. 14 overall selection in the 2026 NFL Draft and a 2027 first-rounder.
However, the Ravens unexpectedly backed out of the agreement following concerns surrounding Crosby's surgically repaired knee during his physical examination.
The failed trade generated considerable speculation about Crosby's future, particularly after the defensive end revealed that his visit to Baltimore featured several unusual interactions with the organization's leadership.
During an episode of The Rush With Maxx Crosby, he described an awkward meeting with Ravens head coach Jesse Minter and explained that he did not meet with the team's general manager during his visit.
Despite the uncertainty surrounding the collapsed agreement, Crosby ultimately remained with the Raiders entering the 2026 season.
His continued commitment comes as Las Vegas attempts to establish consistency under head coach Klint Kubiak following a disappointing 3-14 campaign in 2025.
With the Raiders back at .500 and preparing for another difficult matchup against the 49ers, Crosby's comments reinforce his desire to remain with the franchise rather than pursue an opportunity elsewhere.
For now, the Raiders will look to build on their recent victory when they visit San Francisco on Sunday.
