When it came to reports that he and Las Vegas Raiders head coach Antonio Pierce were at odds, Maxx Crosby did not hold back.
Due to a sprained ankle, Crosby was unable to play in his NFL debut on September 29, the day the Raiders and Cleveland Browns squared off at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada, for Week 4.
The three-time Pro Bowler watched the game from home rather than being there at the game’s location.
Former Raiders and Browns executive Mike Lombardi spoke on “The Pat McAfee Show” last week and took issue with Crosby’s no-show. According to Lombardi, there might have been “a disconnect” between Crosby and Pierce, as seen by Crosby’s absence.
Crosby made his way back into the Raiders starting lineup for their Week 5 matchup with the Denver Broncos on Sunday. He was asked about sitting out the prior game. Without being asked, Crosby brought up Lombardi’s remarks (profanity cut by LBS).
According to Adam Hill of the Las Vegas Review-Journal, Crosby stated, “I have to hear these clowns talking online and talking on ‘The Pat McAfee Show’ saying something is going on.” These clowns are discussing what I ought to be doing while seated on a couch. In actuality, though, I’m attempting to improve and gain yardage so that I can return to the field.
“Go on, dude. You are aware of my desires. Do you believe I should be somewhere else? No. This s–t is tattooed all over my body. I have no desire to travel anywhere.
The Raiders have recently had to cope with the rumors surrounding the Davante Adams trade. However, the other star players on the club may not share Adams’ apparent desire to go.
Crosby has been with the team for his whole six-year NFL career and has consistently shown his unwavering dedication to the group. His position doesn’t appear to have altered at all.
