Las Vegas Raiders star Maxx Crosby wants Aaron Rodgers to be his team’s new quarterback in 2025.
Rodgers, 41, will be cut by the New York Jets and is searching for a new team. The Los Angeles Rams were one genuine option but that door is now closed after it emerged Matthew Stafford is remaining in Los Angeles.
But star defensive end Crosby, speaking on his Rush with Maxx podcast, is backing Rodgers to have a massive year in 2025 with whoever signs him – and he wants it to be his team.
‘The first year off an Achilles is one of the hardest things to do,’ Crosby said, reflecting on Rodgers’ return from his injury in the 2023 campaign. ‘You see it with Kirk (Cousins of Atlanta Falcons), Kirk had a down year.
‘It happened with Aaron, he struggled early on but got better as the season went. I think with all the doubt and all the negativity around Aaron – people saying he needs to retire and things like that, getting cut by the Jets – I think he’s going to come back (and have a big year).
‘I know he’s 42 or 41 but I think he’s going to have a big year this year. And I hope it is in (points to himself) around town.’
The Raiders are going through an offseason of upheaval, spearheaded by Tom Brady after he became a minority owner of the team last year.
After Pete Carroll came in as head coach, the next big decision is over the team’s signal caller.
