Raiders Shake Up Roster: Maxx Crosby Traded, High-Upside Players Added
The Las Vegas Raiders made significant moves in NFL free agency, trading defensive end Maxx Crosby to the Baltimore Ravens and acquiring cornerback Taron Johnson from Buffalo. The team also released quarterback Geno Smith and guard Alex Cappa, and saw linebacker Jamal Adams and quarterback Kenny Pickett depart in free agency.
To bolster their roster, the Raiders re-signed cornerback Eric Stokes and pass-rusher Malcolm Koonce, and signed Baltimore center Tyler Linderbaum, Minnesota wide receiver Jalen Nailor, Indianapolis pass-rusher Kwity Paye, Philadelphia linebacker Nakobe Dean, Green Bay linebacker Quay Walker, and San Francisco kicker Matt Gay. These additions aim to strengthen the lines and secondary.
Fans are excited about the defensive overhaul, with high-upside players like Dean and Walker stepping in after losing Crosby. However, several targets like guard Alijah Vera-Tucker and safety Alohi Gilman signed elsewhere.
Recent news includes running back Rico Dowdle joining Pittsburgh and linebacker Devin Lloyd going to Carolina. Cornerback Nate Hobbs, who left the Raiders last year, was released by Green Bay. The Raiders continue to search for pass-rushers and receivers to replace Crosby and fill other needs.
