Raiders

Raiders DE Maxx Crosby played through a major knee injury that required surgery at the end of the season.

โ€œI was definitely banged up,โ€ Crosby said, via Raiders Wire. โ€œMy knee was an issue, but I was able to play. I definitely donโ€™t want to do that again and go through that โ€“ draining it multiple times every week โ€“ it was a pain in the ass. But we made it through, so it was even more motivation when people were like โ€˜shut it down, shut it down, shut it down.โ€™ I was like naw, Iโ€™m not like everybody else, to be completely honest. I just had to keep moving.โ€

  • Raiders C Andre James on adding G Cody Whitehair in free agency: “It’s nice having a vet like that come in and [with] a lot of the experience that he’s had, it’s only just going to benefit the whole offensive room.” (Paul Gutierrez)
  • James continued: “I was just talking with him today, about some of the schemes and some of the things that [the Bears] ran. It’s always helpful having a guy who’s familiar with the offense, familiar with the scheme and the system, especially there in the offensive line room. Just to kind of pick his brain and just kind get some of the keys and some of the information that he’s got for a long time.” (Gutierrez)
  • Pittsburgh OT Matt Goncalves has an official 30 visit scheduled with the Raiders. (Tristen Kuhn)

Raiders

Raiders WR Davante Adams has been in trade talks for the last few years as he’s been stuck on an underwhelming passing offense. Despite the rumors, Adams reaffirmed his desire to be in Las Vegas.

“If I wanted to be gone, Iโ€™d be gone by now,” Adams said, via Tashan Reed of The Athletic. “This is where I want to be. Itโ€™s obvious what we want to do, but itโ€™s a lot of work that needs to get put in before you can even talk about doing that.”

“I got to be the type of guy thatโ€™s about business and not just about talk. If Iโ€™m going to be that, I expect that from everybody else.”
