Maxx Crosby may be having enough with his team's current inability to win games, if a recent post by him is to be believed.On Sunday, the star edge rusher's Las Vegas Raiders fell 30-29 in overtime against the Jacksonville Jaguars after DaVon Hamilton swatted away a two-point attempt by Geno Smith. After the game, he wrote:"Raider Nation I Love Yall With Everything In My Heart & Soul. Yall Deserve Better. Stay As One, It Will Change. 🦅🖤"Maxx Crosby @CrosbyMaxxLINKRaider Nation I Love Yall With Everything In My Heart & Soul. Yall Deserve Better. Stay As One, It Will Change. 🦅🖤As soon as it hit, fans immediately predicted him switching teams at the trade deadline, particularly the Dallas Cowboys:Tuck @NewAgeKiingLINKThis usually happens before they request a tradeChristopher Edmerson @ChrisEdmersonLINKDallas Cowboy loading lol."Holy shit it’s happening," one salivated."Time to see you with that star on your helmet," another saluted."This is a farewell tweet?!" another asked.During Fox's coverage, however, insider Jay Glazer noted that while Crosby had said he did not want to be traded, things might change.During the game itself, Crosby had a sack on Trevor Lawrence once - the Raiders' only one the entire night. The quarterback also had an interception to Isaiah Pola-Mao, but he more than made up for it with two rushing touchdowns.The Jaguars' best player instead turned out to arguably be kicker Cam Little, who made three field goals, including a record-breaking 68-yarder as time expired in the first half.Maxx Crosby linked to two teams other than Cowboys as deadline loomsWhile “Maxx Crosby to the Cowboys” is the most popular pairing for fans, Sports Illustrated’s Mike Kadlick sees two other teams being interested in him.One is the Philadelphia Eagles, the reigning Super Bowl champions. Since Josh Sweat left for the Arizona Cardinals this offseason, they have been somewhat lacking in the edge-rushing department, falling below the top half in that aspect.Za’Darius Smith lasted only a while before retiring, while Brandon Graham is only days removed from unretiring and has had a minimal impact on the field. But in Kadlick’s words:“Howie Roseman going big-game hunting for a guy like Crosby could break the gauge entirely.”The other is the New England Patriots, who already boast Crosby’s former teammate Robert Spillane. They are coming off trading Keion White to the San Francisco 49ers and may want more star power beside Harold Landry and K’Lavon Chaisson in their bid to reclaim the AFC East.
