It wasn't just the loss that stung for the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday, falling to 2-4 after a 32-13 beatdown from the Pittsburgh Steelers at home. The issues clearly ran deeper.
Davante Adams' name continues to pop up in trade rumors, and Maxx Crosby? Well, the video of him shoving assistant coach Mike Caldwell on the sidelines is making its rounds, fueling speculation about more than just a bad game.
Crosby had half a sack in the loss, but his actions are what's getting attention, with questions swirling about whether he too could be on his way out of town.

Crosby quickly took to social media to downplay the incident, calling Caldwell "one of the best people in the business" and insisting it was a "love push." But that hasn't stopped the rumor mill from churning, especially with news that Lions' pass-rusher Aidan Hutchinson is down with a serious leg injury. You don't have to connect many dots to wonder if the Raiders, who are fading fast, could decide to cash in on Crosby while they still can.
At 2-4, the Raiders may be inching toward a full reset, and Crosby, along with Adams, are their two biggest trade chips. The clock is ticking toward the trade deadline, and if things don't turn around, it wouldn't be surprising to see them look to gather draft capital by sending their stars elsewhere.
For now, Crosby remains a Raider, but it's clear the frustration is mounting—not just for him, but for a team that's staring down the barrel of another lost season.
