Defensive end Maxx Crosby, one of the NFL’s top pass rushers, has sparked buzz with cryptic comments that caught Detroit Lions fans’ attention.
Crosby, who insists he doesn’t want to be traded and that Raiders owner Mark Davis doesn’t plan to trade him, left fans speculating after speaking to reporters on Wednesday.
“I’m not here to rebuild, I’m here to win,” Crosby told Pro Football Talk. “I don’t know what that means, but I’m here to win now. And wherever I am, I’m going to win. That’s all that matters.”
The statement stirred excitement, especially among Lions fans who’ve been discussing trade rumors since Aidan Hutchinson’s season-ending injury. While Crosby’s remarks don’t directly suggest he wants to leave, they highlight his frustration with the Raiders’ situation.
As the Raiders endure a losing season and rumors of a rebuild increase, Crosby’s focus on winning could lead him to explore other opportunities. Could he join a contender like the Lions, fresh off a 47-9 win against the Cowboys, who look like Super Bowl contenders?
Crosby’s commitment to winning is clear, but the “wherever I am” comment has raised eyebrows. Is he hinting at a future beyond Las Vegas?
Lions fans, eager for defensive line reinforcements following Hutchinson’s injury, are excited at the prospect of acquiring Crosby. Though a trade hasn’t been confirmed, Crosby’s comments have fueled speculation.
As the trade deadline approaches, Lions fans will be watching closely, hoping that “wherever he is” might be in Honolulu blue and silver.
