Did Maxx Crosby get traded? Explaining Raiders' trade deadline decision

Maxx Crosby was in the trade rumors.

And maybe it wouldn't have been unprecedented for the Las Vegas Raiders to trade him away. After all, the New York Jets traded both Sauce Gardner and Quinnen Williams out of town on Tuesday before the 4 p.m. ET deadline.

In the end, though, that wouldn't have made a ton of sense for the Raiders.

Jakobi Meyers is gone. Crosby isn't.

Did Maxx Crosby get traded?

No, Maxx Crosby wasn't traded before Tuesday's NFL deadline.

The Raiders signed Crosby to an extension this offseason, so it would've been shocking to see him dealt.

"Las Vegas has no plans of trading away defensive end Maxx Crosby, and the three-year, $106.5 million contract extension that he signed in the offseason as a sign of the long-term commitment that both parties have with each other," ESPN's Ryan McFadden wrote earlier this week.

Crosby also wanted to stay put.

"I just have a special connection with the fan base," Crosby told reporters postgame on Sunday. "I've been here for seven years, and they've been through it, just like I've been through it. ...I'm [going to] continue giving everything I got until I can't anymore, and whatever day that is, we'll see."

He has gotten his wish.
