Maxx Crosby announces successful surgery, predicts "greatest year yet"

Raiders defensive end Maxx Crosby underwent surgery on his left knee and reported a successful outcome. Crosby shared on social media that he anticipates a full recovery and is optimistic about his upcoming eighth season. Previously, Crosby expressed a desire to continue playing despite the injury, but the Raiders opted to sideline him for the final two games, leading to tension. As the Raiders embark on a rebuild following a disappointing season and hold the first overall pick in the draft, Crosby's future with the team remains uncertain. He currently has four years remaining on his contract, with a $30 million guaranteed salary for 2026, but no guarantees beyond that year.
