John Spytek on whether Maxx Crosby is untouchable: I believe he embodies what a Raider is

Raiders defensive end Maxx Crosby expressed dissatisfaction with the team's decision to sideline him due to a knee injury with two games remaining last season. This incident, along with Crosby's previous doubts about the franchise's direction, has fueled speculation about a potential trade, despite Crosby signing a three-year extension in the offseason. During a press conference, Raiders General Manager John Spytek did not label Crosby as untouchable in trade discussions, although he praised Crosby's passion for the game and his embodiment of the Raiders' spirit. The team is currently focused on hiring a new coach following the dismissal of Pete Carroll, which may delay any immediate personnel decisions. However, Spytek's comments may not deter other teams from inquiring about Crosby's availability.
