On the topic of the rampant speculation about a potential trade for Las Vegas Raiders EDGE Maxx Crosby, it’s time for Detroit Lions fans to heed the words of Van Halen.
“Dream another dream, this dream is over.”
While Lions fans have almost demanded on social media for GM Brad Holmes to make a trade for Crosby, it’s not happening.
In the 90-second clip, Crosby effectively insults anyone who thinks he wants to leave Las Vegas and calls out all the false speculation about any potential trades.
“I’ve got to hear from these clowns talking online and talking on the Pat McAfee Show saying ‘something’s going on’, they’re speaking for me saying I should be on the sideline when I’ve got a high ankle sprain,” Crosby said. “These clowns, they’re sitting on a coach telling me what I should be doing.”
Crosby, who played collegiately at Eastern Michigan and is from the Detroit area, got more animated and agitated as he continued,
“But the reality is, I’m gaining yardage and trying to get right so I can get back on the field. Everybody knows my intentions but they try to speak for me. (Expletive) if you speak to me and you know what’s going on then we can have a conversation, but don’t speak on my name when you don’t know what the hell is going on.”
Crosby wasn’t done.
“These guys (Raiders teammates) know I’d take a bullet for them. You’ve got clowns that are online and talking … it’s embarrassing. Don’t speak for me. I’m going to speak for my guys and that’s all I care about.
I get bothered by that because, you now I take a lot of heat and I can do it. I’ve been through that. But don’t speak about me when you don’t know what’s going on. You’re speaking for me, or speaking about the organization.”
Crosby concluded,
“Come on bro, you know where I want to be. You think I want to be anywhere else?I got this (expletive) tatted on my body. I don’t want to go anywhere. At the end of the day, it’s just funny. A lot of people have a lot to say when they really don’t know what’s going on.”
The Raiders are 2-3 after losing to the Broncos in Week 5 but are still just one game out of a playoff spot in the very turbulent AFC. Crosby has never even hinted he wants a trade, unlike teammate Davante Adams.
“I gotta hear from these clowns on the Pat McAfee show. I’ll take a bullet for them, everyone in this locker room. You think I wanna be anywhere else? I got this tatted on my body.”

Not that the Lions would have any real interest in trading multiple first-round picks for Crosby–if he were even made available for a trade. Dream another dream…
