Broncos Fans Amused by Surprising New Raiders Report
The Denver Broncos have found themselves entertained by unexpected developments regarding the Las Vegas Raiders. Last offseason, the Raiders made significant changes, including the hiring of head coach Pete Carroll and the acquisition of quarterback Geno Smith. This new leadership duo sparked hopes of a revival within the franchise after years of turmoil.
However, the anticipated success did not materialize. The Raiders ended the 2025 season with a disappointing record of 3–14. Carroll had publicly claimed they would win many games, stating, “We’re going to win a ton, win a bunch of games. I’ve been winning 10 games a year for 20 years or something.” Instead, the team faced ongoing struggles and frustrations.
Maxx Crosby’s Uncertain Future
As the 2026 offseason unfolds, drama surrounding the Raiders continues. NFL insider Jay Glazer has suggested that standout defensive end Maxx Crosby may be traded soon. During a recent interview, Glazer expressed strong beliefs regarding Crosby’s future with the team, stating, “I do… probably more than Micah [Parsons].”
Many Raiders fans shared Crosby’s frustrations, especially after he was sidelined for the last two games of the previous season. Although the team cited injury concerns, Crosby countered by posting videos of himself actively training, challenging any notion of his unfitness.
Crosby’s Impressive Statistics
Despite the Raiders’ failures to leverage Crosby’s talents fully, his individual performance remains remarkable. He is a five-time Pro Bowler with impressive career statistics:
- 69.5 sacks
- 133 tackles for loss
- 164 quarterback hits
- 110 regular-season games played
In his career matches against the Broncos, Crosby has been particularly impactful. He has recorded:
- 40 solo tackles
- 20 assisted tackles
- 16.5 sacks
These statistics highlight Crosby’s ability to disrupt opposing offenses and frustrate quarterbacks, particularly in matchups against Denver.
Looking Ahead
The question now is whether the Raiders will follow through on a trade involving Crosby. With his growing dissatisfaction and the team’s turbulent history, it’s clear that change might be necessary. For the Denver Broncos, the prospect of Crosby leaving the AFC West would certainly be welcomed, as they seek to regain their competitive edge in the NFL.
