What happened: Maxx Crosby stated he expects to remain with the Las Vegas Raiders as the trade deadline approaches, dismissing outside speculation regarding his availability. Following Sunday's 38-17 loss to the San Francisco 49ers, the defensive end affirmed his commitment to the organization and said he plans to remain long-term.

Why it matters: Crosby was previously involved in trade discussions earlier this year, including a proposed move to the Baltimore Ravens that dissolved over concerns during his physical. Las Vegas sits at 4-5 in 2026 through 9 games, keeping the franchise in contention for an AFC postseason berth.

By the numbers: Crosby has made 22 tackles with 3 sacks in 2026 through 8 games. The Raiders are 4-5 in 2026 through 9 games and hold the No. 9 seed in the conference.

What to watch: Las Vegas moves forward with its regular season schedule as the roster remains centered around Crosby on defense.
