Maxx Crosby Trade Talk Resurfaces Amid Raiders' Woes
14 Oct
Summary
- Raiders suffer second consecutive loss, now at 3-2 after a 3-0 start.
- Kirk Cousins' starting role questioned with a potential four-game losing streak looming.
- Maxx Crosby trade rumors may resurface if Raiders' downward trend continues.
The Las Vegas Raiders are experiencing a difficult period, having lost two consecutive games to now stand at a 3-2 record. This follows a strong 3-0 start to their season, and the team faces a challenging upcoming schedule.
The performance of quarterback Kirk Cousins is increasingly under scrutiny. Despite accumulating significant passing yards and touchdowns, the team's recent losses have led to discussions about potential changes, with Fernando Mendoza being mentioned as a possible starter if the losing streak extends.
Running back Ashton Jeanty's ongoing injury issues are impacting his play. Suffering from a sprained ankle and a foot injury, his current average yards per carry is low. There is consideration being given to resting Jeanty for the next two challenging matchups to allow him to recover for a later game.
Adding to the team's concerns, trade speculation surrounding star pass rusher Maxx Crosby is reportedly resurfacing. Following a previous offseason trade that did not materialize, renewed discussions are expected if the Raiders' performance continues to decline, potentially positioning Crosby as a tradeable asset before the deadline.
