Nightcap Hour 2: Maxx Crosby WATNS to be a RAIDER + Bleacher Report’s MOST STACKED 2026-2027 NFL Teams + Bills ADDRESS Feedback on Stadium SEATS + Top 10 COACHES on HOT SEAT + Ryan Blaney JOINS Nightcap

**Shannon Sharpe** (0:00)
Maxx Crosby says he wants to be a Raider. I never wanted to leave in the first place, but people have their own opinions on that. I'm not in the business side. I'm not on the third floor, so I don't know. I'm not a mind reader. I'm not the future predictor. I'm just, I'm not going to do that. I'm going to be present. I'm going to be the best Raider I can be for as long as I possibly can.

**Chad Johnson** (0:21)
Obviously, once you're back, you're gonna say all the right things, huh?
Once you're back, you're gonna say all the right things. I'm not sure, when is the last time the Raiders had a winning season? And I'm not saying that in a disrespectful way. I think with Derek Carr, right? I forgot.

**Shannon Sharpe** (0:33)
Yeah, when y'all beat him.

**Chad Johnson** (0:34)
Yep. When was that?

**Shannon Sharpe** (0:39)
Old stuff. We don't bring it up.

**Chad Johnson** (0:40)
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So I thought maybe a change of scenery for him.

**Shannon Sharpe** (0:44)
Probably by the same time y'all went to the playoffs, about four, five years ago, Joe.

**Chad Johnson** (0:47)
Maybe 2021? No? No.
Huh?

**Shannon Sharpe** (0:51)
My bad, Joe.

**Chad Johnson** (0:52)
My bad.
Damn. How he kept it straight. I ain't... Hey, the Cowboys in the quarter straight. Yeah, but I think a change of scenery would have been good. Would have been good for him going somewhere where he can compete. Act like he can compete for something. Play for something outside of just being, you know...
Hey, it is what it is. But obviously now that he's there, he gon say all the right things.

**Gilbert Arenas** (1:17)
Yeah.

**Shannon Sharpe** (1:18)
What you thinking, Joe? You think Jerry gon try to pull a rabbit out of that?

**Gilbert Arenas** (1:24)
He probably... Jerry probably trying to un-get Ocho, but I don't know if that's gon happen, bro.
You know, I think Maxx Crosby is a great leader, a great defender in the position that he plays, but I don't think Jerry gon be able to pull that one off, fellas. I'm sorry.

**Shannon Sharpe** (1:43)
Plus another guy making 30-plus million.

**Gilbert Arenas** (1:45)
Hey, at some point, like you say, you gon have to pay DAC, you gon have to pay CD, you gon have to pay... Man, come on, man.

**Chad Johnson** (1:52)
Can't pay everybody.

**Gilbert Arenas** (1:55)
You can't have all these superstars over there, bro.

**Shannon Sharpe** (1:59)
Yeah, but I been saying the right thing, but at some point in time, I would like to think Maxx would like to play meaningful football.

**Chad Johnson** (2:07)
Same thing with Miles, you know? They gave him the green, like, you know what? You've done enough for us. You've done enough for us.
And you would hope at some point the Raiders organization feel the same way about Miles. I mean, about Miles, about...

**Gilbert Arenas** (2:23)
Maxx.

**SPEAKER_5** (2:24)
About Maxx, yeah.

**Chad Johnson** (2:26)
I'm tripping.

**Shannon Sharpe** (2:27)
Yeah. I think now, I think it's hard for me to see a scenario, if he's not traded before the season start, that he's on the routine on the team next year, especially if he gets out to feel healthy.

**Gilbert Arenas** (2:43)
Or if they play great football, meaning, I mean, Raiders ain't got a chance.

**Shannon Sharpe** (2:52)
They're young and experience in a lot of different places. I mean, Maxx is really the only guy that I like, I got to have on the defense side of football. I mean, they got some okay players, but Maxx is, we need to find out how they're going to be offensively. Right.
Cousins at the helm. I think Cousins opened the season as the week one starter.

**Chad Johnson** (3:22)
What do Raiders got over there at receiver? They got Tucker, little Tucker, he fast as hell.
Then we got Brock Bowers.

**Shannon Sharpe** (3:33)
Brock Bowers, if he's healthy, he won the top title in all the football. Let me see if Raiders are receiving core.
Trey Tucker, oh, Naylor.

**Chad Johnson** (3:50)
They got Naylor from Minnesota.

**Shannon Sharpe** (3:54)
I don't know. I don't know Deontay Thornton Jr. Malik, please, please, excuse me.

**Chad Johnson** (3:59)
Okay, yeah.
They decent, they decent. They got some playmakers.

**Gilbert Arenas** (4:09)
Yeah.

**Shannon Sharpe** (4:10)
Bowers, keep him healthy. Cause that boy can play.

**Chad Johnson** (4:15)
He can go, boy.

**Gilbert Arenas** (4:17)
And then Trey McBride. Yeah.

**Chad Johnson** (4:20)
They will be the future.
