Las Vegas Raiders DE Maxx Crosby has caused some stir in the locker room with his trade request. It all started when the team hired Antonio Pierce as the full-time head coach. Crosby expressed his concerns and hinted at a potential trade if the Raiders didn’t hire Pierce. However, it seems that there is no animosity between ownership and the star player.
Antonio Pierce’s appointment as head coach wasn’t always certain. Nevertheless, the Raiders players are happy with the decision and Crosby is particularly thrilled. Under Pierce’s leadership, the Raiders had a successful season, going 5-4 and boasting the best defense in the NFL. The team is excited for the upcoming 2024 season.
While the Raiders didn’t conduct extensive interviews for the head coaching position, there were rumors that they may have considered former Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh. According to reports, the Raiders spoke with Harbaugh’s agent. However, Harbaugh ultimately accepted a position with the Los Angeles Chargers, suggesting that the Raiders’ interest may not have been as strong as initially thought.
