The Las Vegas Raiders have hired a coach who works directly with star defensive end Maxx Crosby, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. The move is considered a major development as the organization navigates what has been described as an "uncertain" future for their franchise cornerstone.
Per @RapSheet, the hiring specifically targets a coach with whom Crosby maintains a direct working relationship. This strategic addition to the Raiders coaching staff comes at a pivotal moment for the team, as internal and external questions have swirled regarding Crosby's long-term status in Las Vegas.
While the specific identity of the coach was not immediately disclosed in the initial report, the connection is being viewed as a significant "thickening of the plot" regarding the team's defensive leadership. Crosby, a multi-time Pro Bowler, has been the focal point of the Raiders defense since being drafted by the team in 2019.
