It’s a nice moment for Maxx Crosby to spend time with Kevin Garnett, who had a remarkable NBA career as he won the 2008 title with the Boston Celtics. In the meantime, Crosby hopes to bring the Raiders back to playoff contention.
Crosby missed five games in the 2024 regular season due to injury. In the 12 games he took part in, he made 45 tackles, 17 TFLs, 7.5 sacks, and five pass deflections. He still appeared in the Pro Bowl for the fourth consecutive year, emphasizing his talent as a defender.
The Raiders begin a new era with Pete Carroll as their new head coach, who ended a long and historic stint with the Seattle Seahawks. They acquired Geno Smith from Seattle as well, showing that they are serious about bringing success to the franchise by turning to a coach with loads of experience.
Las Vegas finished with a 4-13 record throughout the 2024 season. They ranked at the bottom of the AFC West standings, but will look to significantly improve this year.
