Raiderstation

Tank is full speed ahead!

Nobody losing draft picks this year. Too many teams tanking lol.

At the most, this will get the NFL to discuss lottery systems which is fine

Max put out a video of him playing around with his kid and he wants to play

Raiders said we aren't taking any chances on you getting seriously hurt so youre done this year

done deal

If the raiders have medical reports showing knee damage and hd gets offseason knee surgery, even a very minor one, this is a non issue.

Also yes i am 42 and could easily play around wirh my kids the way crosby did in the video. But my body would crumble playing any nfl snaps. The important part is medicals documenting the injury

We best shut down Jeanty too. The last thing we need is serious injury to him that affects next year . Hopefully he runs 1 play and is taken out. Let white pound it all game and release him on Monday

The good ol "league sources" info. I've always wondered who the league sources are. Waterboys? The ball boys? A low level scout? A janitor in the NFL headquarters building? A low level exec of a franchise?

I dont care who the league sources are as long as they are correct here.

It's ok to be open to trading Maxx, but there's not a need to trade him. Enter the offseason assuming he stays, and then see if someone gives a really good offer - his media presence is annoying, but he's a good valuable player and he'll give 100% no matter what. That's worth keeping unless someone offers something stupid in trade.

Raiders are at least 2 years away from contending for a playoff spot due to lack of talent. Dude has ankle,knee,and shoulder issues recently. He'll be what, 31 years old by then? Trade him for picks to improve the roster and let the man play for a shot at the Super Bowl that he so richly deserves.

Win/win for everyone.

I guess I am in the minority here. I don't get bothered by media presence. Players talk but to be pretty blunt, I don't think most are all that intelligent. I also don't get that uptight with celeb's political views. They know less than the average person so when they express why you should vote for someone I usually laugh. They know dick on the subject for the vast majority of them. So if Maxx is talking, I am pretty much not listening. But when he is playing, I am absolutely watching because he can wreck a QB.

More annoying than his media presence is guys who blame Maxx for our losses.

Do you think the odds of Crosby getting traded increase if The Raiders finish with the 2nd pick in the 2026 NFL Draft instead of the 1st?

Won't matter.

I'm not in the trade Maxx camp, but if a blockbuster deal came along you would definitely have to consider it. This team has some pieces but I don't see them contending any time soon.

Coaches and players don't tank as in throwing games. Front office issue dictates that effect losing. Crosby is hurt so it's a legit shutdown.

Crosby just like the rest of us have opinions on why decisions are made.

Teams in the playoffs sit guys as to give them a rest that reflects on others teams chances of making or missing the playoffs. Would that also be considered throwing a game? No.
