There’s 3 players in the 2026 NFL draft that are bust proof.

[Jason Kelce @JasonKelce]

This is interesting. It feels like it’s obvious that Frank retired because he was physically fighting through injuries and pain, and it got to a point that he no longer could play the game in an enjoyable, effective, or healthy way.
The whole purpose of a signing bonus is to be a guarantee up front that insures a salary irregardless of performance metrics, or most importantly injuries that could compromise your career in the future.

What makes this interesting is that Frank likely retired “voluntarily”, meaning, he wasn’t declared medically unfit to play by a doctor, which allows the team to ask for a prorated amount of his signing bonus back. Had he been medically deemed unfit to play football by a doctor before he retired, the team wouldn’t be able to recoup part of the signing bonus.

Let me say this first, if a player truly just retires without reason, or because they’ve lost the desire to play, I completely get and acknowledge teams should be able to recoup compensation when players don’t fulfill there contractual obligations and agreements.

However, Frank was known for being hurt and playing through injuries most players wouldn’t play through constantly. Broken foot, a torn pec, multiple knee injuries, back issues. There was always something, and I’m sure he was continuously dealing with multiple ailments to try and continue playing the game. His body clearly had deteriorated to a degree that made football no longer a viable option, physically, and probably mentally. In my opinion, the signing bonus is supposed to protect players from future physical ailments limiting their availability on the field, that’s one of the reasons you want more guaranteed money upfront.

So while I get that the team has a right to ask for money back, in the spirit of the agreement, I think it’s bullshit Frank is being asked to return money. This was clearly a player that the game had physically taken its toll on, and his body was clearly no longer holding up to the rigors of the NFL. It wasn’t just some player deciding he didn’t want to play anymore, it wasn’t that simple, and these signing bonuses are there to protect players from the inevitable injuries they incur on the field.

At the @Raiders facility for an appearance this evening and it's nice to see HC and the assistants grinding away after dinner getting ready for the draft! Building something special takes incredible effort and dedication.

Would love for Bud Clark to be a Raider

GM not meeting him for 5 hours. Yeah, nothing sketchy. Either way- thank you DeCosta

[MLFootball @MLFootball]

🚨🚨THIS IS WILD🚨🚨

Maxx Crosby spoke about the #Ravens screwing him over and backing out of the trade

Maxx did not meet with GM Eric DeCosta until the end of the day after he had his physical, and people LIED to him about the deal.

Class act: Maxx Crosby did it the right way in what he thought was his exit from the #Raiders, helping mend fences now that he’s likely staying.

• Quietly requested a trade to help Las Vegas have leverage and get the best deal possible
• Did not publicly comment on trade speculation so to not create drama
• Attacked rehab at the Raiders facility with teammates every day despite privately wanting out
• Maintained a healthy relationship and line of communication with GM John Spytek
• Upon being traded, he shared goodbye posts from teammates and celebrated 6 years sober
• Made an authentic, heartfelt 13-minute farewell video thanking fans and the organization
• Held accountability for the team’s losing ways instead of placing blame solely on the club
• Insisted he’s a Raider for life, expressing a desire to play for LV again before retiring
• Said he holds “no ill will” towards the Raiders after the trade and wished the team the best
• Has not negatively commented on the Ravens since the deal fell through, only sharing his agent’s statement

There’s no question Crosby would be welcomed back with open arms by team leadership, the fanbase, and the locker room in part thanks to him being a true pro in what could’ve been an ugly process.
