The Las Vegas Raiders’ season continues to be a rollercoaster, with their recent 34-18 loss to the Denver Broncos dropping them to a 2-3 record.
The game at Empower Field at Mile High exposed glaring weaknesses in the Raiders’ performance, despite the return of Maxx Crosby from a high ankle sprain.
Crosby’s frustration was palpable by the game’s end, mirroring the sentiment of fans throughout this tumultuous season.
Addressing the media post-game, Crosby’s comments reflected the team’s ongoing struggles and the Davante Adams trade speculation.
“You think I’m not used to this s*** going on?” Crosby said, as reported by Sean Zittel from Vegas Sports Today.
“It is what it is. I’ve been dealing with it my whole career, so it is what it is. Davante is my boy. I love Davante and he’s going to do what he’s going to do. Praying for him, wish him the best. He’s not healthy right now. He’s got to get healthy, but we’re focused on the Raiders. We’re focused on who’s here now, and we’re focused on winning.” He added.
The Adams trade saga continues to intensify as the Raiders face a challenging stretch against the Steelers, Rams, Chiefs, and Bengals before their Week 10 bye.
Despite being early in October, the team has already experienced enough turbulence to last an entire season.
As Adams recovers from his hamstring injury, trade discussions are heating up.
The Raiders have set a high bar for potential deals, with owner Mark Davis reportedly demanding no less than a second-round draft pick plus additional compensation for the Pro Bowl wide receiver.
As they navigate these waters, the team’s ability to maintain focus and improve their on-field performance will be crucial in the coming weeks.
