Overview
- Raiders stars Maxx Crosby and quarterback Kirk Cousins fought during a training-camp drill, and coach Klint Kubiak disciplined both players by holding them out of the next practice for violating team conduct rules.
- The pair publicly reconciled at the following practice when video showed a handshake and helmet tap, and Crosby told Sports Illustrated he "never wanted to leave" the Raiders and plans to win in Las Vegas.
- Crosby is recovering from meniscus surgery and has said his knee "feels great," but the earlier trade to the Baltimore Ravens collapsed after the team raised concerns during Crosby’s physical.
- Outside interest has not faded: Cowboys owner Jerry Jones acknowledged Dallas remained involved in talks this offseason, and ESPN’s Adam Schefter warned a trade could resurface if the Raiders struggle before the in-season November deadline.
- Crosby is a five-time Pro Bowler on a multi-year, high-value contract, so any midseason move would hinge on the Raiders’ performance, Crosby’s health and the market value of his pass-rush production.
