End of the line for Maxx Crosby.

It appears that Maxx Crosby has played his final snap for the Las Vegas Raiders.

Before the Raiders’ Week 17 home game against the New York Giants, stunning news emerged that Maxx Crosby walked out of the Raiders’ facility after a disagreement with the coaching staff.

The superstar defensive end was unhappy when the Raiders told him that they were shutting him down for the final two games of the year. More than a month later, and it appears the two sides are on the verge of splitting.

During an interview with Yahoo Sports, Fox Sports NFL insider Jay Glazer was asked if Crosby’s tenure with the Raiders is done. Glazer said, “I do,” adding that “no less than 20 teams” called him after he initially broke the news of Crosby leaving the team facility.

Glazer also opines that Crosby would get more in return than the Micah Parsons trade haul. The Green Bay Packers sent two first-round picks and defensive tackle Kenny Clark to the Dallas Cowboys.

Which Teams Make The Most Sense For Maxx Crosby?

Jay Glazer added that Crosby isn’t keen on going through a rebuild. Presumably, he’ll want to be traded to an established Super Bowl contender.

The Detroit Lions immediately stand out as a logical destination. They don’t have much pass-rushing depth outside of Aidan Hutchinson and are built to win now. Their NFC North rivals, the Chicago Bears, could use an explosive game-changer like Crosby as well.

With additional draft picks from the Parsons trade, maybe Jerry Jones tries to make a move for Crosby? Would the New England Patriots or Buffalo Bills try to pry him away to shake up the AFC East arms race?

Bottom line: There are plenty of logical trade destinations for Maxx Crosby. The only certainty is that he won’t be back in Sin City next year.

Luka Doncic ‘destroys’ the Mavs on his return. Gets standing ovation and shows love to Mark Cuban

Luka Doncic hits 45 points in his first game in Dallas since being traded to the Los Angeles.

It’s rare for a home crowd to cheer the visiting team, but Luka Doncic’s return to Dallas was no ordinary night.

Just days before February’s trade deadline, the Mavericks shocked the NBA by sending their 26-year-old superstar to the Lakers—a move that outraged fans and sparked backlash toward GM Nico Harrison.

On Wednesday, Doncic played his first game back in Dallas since the trade. The arena was filled with fans in both his old Mavs and new Lakers jerseys, many chanting “Fire Nico” in protest.

Despite the emotion in the air, Doncic delivered a dominant performance, scoring a game-high 45 points to lead the Lakers to a 112-97 win. It was a powerful return for one of the league’s brightest stars—and a night Dallas won’t soon forget

The Mavericks pay tribute to Luka Dončić

While the Mavericks’ decision to trade Luka Doncic remains heavily criticized, they handled his return to Dallas with undeniable grace. The organization made sure his first game back as a Laker was met with respect and appreciation.

Every seat in the arena was draped with a T-shirt reading “Hvala za vse,” which translates from Slovenian to “thank you for everything.” It was a thoughtful nod to Doncic’s heritage and impact on the franchise.

Before tip-off, during the starting lineup announcements, the Mavericks played a tribute video showcasing some of Doncic’s most iconic moments in a Dallas jersey. The emotional gesture clearly resonated—moving Doncic to tears in front of the crowd that once called him their own.

Luka Doncic ‘DESTROYS’ his old team

Luka delivered a dazzling performance against his former team, putting up 45 points on 16-of-28 shooting, including 7-of-10 from beyond the arc. He also added 8 rebounds, 6 assists, and 4 steals in a game that showed exactly why he’s one of the best in the league.

From the opening tip, Doncic was locked in. By halftime, Doncic had racked up 31 points on 11-of-16 shooting in just 19 minutes—marking the 10th time in his career he’s scored 30 or more in a single half.

Though his scoring slowed in the second half, he continued to lead effectively, securing both a Lakers win and an unforgettable showing for the fans in Dallas.
