LAS Vegas Raiders defensive end Maxx Crosby has dropped a major hint about his NFL future.
With the Raiders struggling for wins and the trade deadline coming up, Crosby is expected to be a hot commodity this fall.

Among the biggest rumors this season is the Detroit Lions attempting to swing a trade for the superstar pass-rusher.
The Lions lost their young star, Aiden Hutchinson, to a broken leg last week, and they are expected to be in the market for defensive talent.
Detroit already has an extremely talented roster, but a player like Crosby would likely push them over the ledge into Super Bowl favorites.
Crosby is adding some fuel to the rumors lately, by posting messages to his Instagram Story that hint at a trade.
The Raiders defensive end played his college ball at Eastern Michigan, giving him ties to the city of Detroit, and one fan called on him to return to the state.
“Homecoming at the Factory and Maxx Crosby field,” the reposted picture read.
“Time to come home and win a (ring emoji) @maxxcrosby.”
Fans went wild for the message from Crosby and quickly shared their theories on social media.
“OHHHH S***,” one fan said.
“I mean really what else could this mean?” another fan said.
“The news of Maxx Crosby getting traded to the lions on Wednesday is gonna hit,” a third fan said.
“It’ll happen,” a fourth fan said.
While fans are begging for a Crosby trade, the executives in Las Vegas have maintained that he isn’t going anywhere.
“It’s unfortunate today, but there’s so much outside chatter that is not true,” Raiders owner Mark Davis said.
“It’s not coming from any sources. It’s not coming from anything.

“My basic thing is never to answer all that stuff because, otherwise, you get trapped in this black hole.
“It’s just not happening.”
While Davis is ensuring Raiders fans that Crosby won’t be moved, anything can happen while the team continues to get worse.
They sit at 2-5 on the season and have little chance of making the playoffs. The team already traded away star wide receiver Davante Adams to the New York Jets and will likely move other pieces.
The Raiders are going to have a high pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, so they might as well load up on more picks to help their upcoming rebuild.
November 5 marks the 2024 NFL trade deadline, so fans will know within a few weeks if Crosby will be traded.
