The future of Las Vegas Raiders’ star defensive end Maxx Crosby will be one of the major storylines of the NFL offseason.
Tuesday, though, new Raiders head coach Klint Kubiak didn’t waste any time letting his feelings about Crosby be known — he wants him to be a Raider moving forward.
“We want him to be part of our success moving forward,” Kubiak said during his press conference, announcing his hiring. “There’s no doubt about that.”
Kubiak said he had coffee with Crosby at the team’s facility on Tuesday morning. Kubiak said he was “fired up” that Crosby was the first person in the building Tuesday as he rehabs from a knee surgery. Kubiak said he is looking forward to having more conversations with Crosby in the future. Crosby was reported to be among the players who attended Kubiak’s press conference.
Raiders owner Mark Davis also said he wants Crosby to return.
There have been reports that Crosby wants to be traded and has told Raiders’ part owner Tom Brady he has no intentions of playing for the team again.
ESPN reported this week the Raiders would rather keep Crosby, but could get to the point where they listen to trade offers. Tuesday, Kubiak and Davis made it clear they want to keep their superstar.
Time will tell if Crosby has the same interest.
