Maxx is back.
Deals are done.
Got something for Geno.
New franchise QB on the way.
Signed four former 1st-rounders.
$281.5M worth of young talent.
10 draft picks, 5th-most in NFL.
A unanimous offseason winner.
Still $38M in cap space.
Great day to be a Raider.
Perspective:
What if I told you at the beginning of FA that we get to keep Maxx Crosby and still Sign C Linderbaum, Nakolbe Dean, Quay Walker, Kwity Paye and co. Would you have signed up for that?
I would have in a heartbeat... We move on!
#Raidernation#Godsplan
#Raiders star Maxx Crosby, now back from Baltimore with the trade to the #Ravens off, is headed back into the building in Las Vegas, ready to resume his training and rehab program.
His mindset: Crosby is ready to play football for the #Raiders, ready to move forward.
One way to look at tonight's events: The #Raiders spent $281.5M in free agency to build up their team... and just acquired one of the best pass-rushers of the last decade in Maxx Crosby.
One NFL general manager told me everybody involved in Maxx Crosby trade talks knew he would be out until June/July coming off meniscus surgery.
Consensus opinion I’ve got from NFL decision makers: Ravens got cold feet & it could impact how other teams work w/ BAL going forward.
