US EditionGiants-Raiders Leads Week 17 Games with Major NFL Draft Implications
- Jay Glazer reported Friday that the Raiders told Maxx Crosby they want him to sit out the last two games despite his desire to play against the New York Giants in Week 17.
- As part of asset management this week, the team has been shutting down some key players and managing assets amid a 2-13 record, including Crosby's sidelining.
- Crosby’s season stats include 10 sacks and 45 tackles in 15 games, and he has started every game despite missing practices due to injury.
- With two games left, the Raiders' draft position depends on Sunday’s outcome, as they and the Giants both sit at 2-13 and could secure the first overall pick if they lose.
- Speculation now centers on whether Maxx Crosby could be traded as the Las Vegas Raiders front office views him as their most valuable asset who might fetch two first-round picks, though observers warn the fallout could affect the franchise long-term.
