Raiders Shut Down Trade Talk, Confirm Maxx Crosby Will Not Be Moved Before or During Deadline
The Las Vegas Raiders have put an end to all speculation surrounding a potential trade of star defensive end Maxx Crosby, firmly stating that they have no intention of moving him before or during the trade deadline. Despite ongoing rumors and interest from other teams, the Raiders have made it clear that Crosby remains an integral part of their defense and future plans.
"We’re not entertaining any trade talks involving Maxx," said Raiders’ general manager Dave Ziegler. "He’s a cornerstone of our defense, and we have no interest in parting ways with him. He’s exactly the type of player we want to build around."
Crosby, who has been a standout for the Raiders since his arrival, has been one of the league’s top pass rushers, earning recognition as one of the most disruptive defensive players in the NFL. His leadership and presence on the field are invaluable to the Raiders, and the organization remains committed to keeping him as a key figure moving forward.
The decision to shut down trade rumors comes as the Raiders aim to strengthen their roster, not dismantle it. With Crosby at the heart of their defensive plans, the Raiders are focused on improving and competing for the long term, rather than making moves that could weaken their core.
Nik Bonitto Adjusts His Stance on Giants’ Rookie QB Jaxson Dart After Reassessing His Play
Denver Broncos outside linebacker Nik Bonitto has publicly reversed his earlier opinion about New York Giants rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart after taking a closer look at his performance. Initially skeptical of Dart’s potential, Bonitto now acknowledges the rookie’s growth and skills, recognizing him as a legitimate threat in the NFL.
“I’ve got to admit, I didn’t give him enough credit at first,” Bonitto said in a recent interview. “After seeing more of what he’s capable of, it’s clear he’s got a strong arm, composure, and a football IQ that’s beyond his years. He’s a lot more dangerous than I thought.”
Bonitto’s change of heart comes after studying Dart’s play and seeing firsthand how the young quarterback has improved since entering the league. Dart’s ability to read defenses, make quick decisions, and deliver precise throws has impressed many, including Bonitto, who now views the rookie as one of the more promising quarterbacks in his draft class.
As the Broncos prepare to face the Giants in an upcoming matchup, Bonitto and the defense will need to adjust their game plan to account for Dart’s newfound confidence and ability to lead his offense. The linebacker’s comments reflect not only his personal growth but also the recognition that rookies like Dart can surprise even the most seasoned players.
