Raiders GM opens up on Maxx Crosby’s future as trade rumors linger after turmoil
NY Post
Mad Maxx might have calmed down.
Maxx Crosby’s ugly ending with the Raiders last season — making it seem like the team was tanking by shutting him down for the final two games against his will — has given way to cooler heads and he is in the team facility every day, general manager John Spytek told reporters at the NFL Combine.
Will all the trade talks surrounding Crosby, does Spytek anticipate that he will play for the Raiders in 2026?
“I do,” Spytek said. “Yes.”
Word circulating Indianapolis backs up Spytek’s words that the Raiders are resisting any calls to trade Crosby as they begin a rebuild around presumptive No. 1 overall pick quarterback Fernando Mendoza.
“It’s hard to build a great team without great players,” Spytek said.

SAN DIEGO — As you may have seen elsewhere in this newspaper (and also if you haven’t deleted me yet from your social media), I have a book coming out Tuesday called “The Bosses of The Bronx.” Much of it details the 37 years’ worth of antics, winning, losing, winning again and overall mania of George Steinbrenner’s time with the Yankees.

Cade Cunningham, almost inarguably the best player in the East this season, is likely out for the remainder of the regular season. That’s the word out of Detroit following the depressing news that Cunningham punctured a lung when he took a knee to his side Tuesday from Washington’s Tre Johnson while chasing a loose ball.

Wednesday was another positive day at Yankees camp. For the first time since March 6, 2025 — an outing in which he knew “something wasn’t right,” which began a weeks-long saga that ended on the operating table for Tommy John surgery — Gerrit Cole was back on a mound and facing hitters in game action.
