The Las Vegas Raiders finally got their head coach in Klint Kubiak. They had to wait until after the Super Bowl to make the hire official, but they are hoping the wait was worth their time. Now, Las Vegas’ new head coach has took a stance on All-Pro pass rusher Maxx Crosby.

Amid persistent trade rumors surrounding star defensive end Maxx Crosby, new Las Vegas Raiders head coach Klint Kubiak and owner Mark Davis firmly stated their desire for the five-time Pro Bowler to stay with the team during Kubiak’s introductory press conference on Tuesday:
“We want him to be a part of our success going forward. There’s no doubt about that,” Kubiak said during his introductory news conference Tuesday. “He’s one of the best players in the NFL, so that’s a no-brainer to get to work with Maxx and see him continue to have success with his organization.”
Raiders owner Mark Davis also made it clear that he wants Crosby to remain with the Silver and Black.
“Maxx has been a great, great Raider. He is a great Raider. He’s gone through a lifetime of development here for seven or eight years, and he still is a Raider. So, it’s all good,” Davis said after Kubiak’s news conference.
Crosby’s Recent Response to Rumors
Crosby has stayed quiet publicly this offseason, focusing on recovery. In a February 7, 2026, appearance on “The Herd with Colin Cowherd” (wearing Raiders gear), he downplayed speculation:
“Now that I’m quiet, I’ve got random people making big statements for me. They’re like, ‘Maxx must’ve told them this.’ For me, I just sit back and laugh because I know my truth, and when I go to bed at night, I have a smile on my face because I don’t have to explain nothing to nobody.
I’m getting healthy. I’m in the building every single day… That’s all I care about, so all the noise, that’s news to me sometimes.”
Crosby’s Performance and Value
2025 stats: 45 tackles and 10 sacks
Career: Drafted fourth round (2019), entire tenure with Raiders (110 games, 69.5 career sacks).
He’s under contract but trade value remains high for a rebuild (potential massive haul in picks/players).
Broader Raiders Context
The Raiders are in full rebuild mode under Kubiak (previously with Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks staff). GM John Spytek previously praised Crosby’s loyalty and competitiveness. While trade offers could tempt a team with the No. 1 pick in the 2026 draft, Kubiak and Davis signaled a preference to build around their star pass rusher.
No trade request has been confirmed from Crosby, and the organization appears committed to retaining him if possible. This counters earlier reports but keeps the door open amid ongoing speculation.
The story remains fluid as the 2026 offseason progresses. Stay tuned for any updates on Crosby’s status, potential offers, or further comments from the Raiders.
