The Las Vegas Raiders' Maxx Crosby signed a three-year, $106.5 million extension this offseason to stay with coach Pete Carroll's team, putting rumors of a possible trade to his hometown metro area of Detroit to rest.
The Raiders' decision to bring back the former Eastern Michigan Eagles pass rusher came amid a flurry of offseason decisions that changed the culture in Vegas and gave fans hope for a better season in 2025.
On Wednesday night, Crosby found himself back in fan mode again as he shared his thoughts on his hometown team's latest big win in Dade County, Florida.
Crosby had a short but sweet message for fans as he celebrated the exploits of Detroit Pistons star Cade Cunningham, who nailed a game winning shot against the Miami Heat to win a 116-113 game.
CADE.

Cunningham recorded a triple double for the Pistons on Wednesday as he scored 25 points along with double digit assists and rebounds.
He drew attention across social media including from former Celtics champion Kendrick Perkins, who called him a First-Team All-NBA player.
