INDIANAPOLIS — Raiders general manager John Spytek feels good aboutstar defensive end Maxx Crosbystaying put in Las Vegas.
“I do, yes,” Spytek said Tuesday at the NFL scouting combine when asked if he anticipatesCrosby being in uniform for the Raiderswhen the season kicks off.
“We’re in the business of having really good players on the team,” Spytek added. “And we need a lot more of them. It’s hard to build a great team without elite players.”
But he also isn’t about to hang up if another team calls to make an offer for Crosby.
“We’re always listening, man,” Spytek said.
In other words, Spytek expecting or hoping Crosby is back next season is entirely different from Spytek definitively saying the Raiders star will be wearing silver and black next season.
If that were the case, Spytek would have come out Tuesday and unequivocally said Crosby isn’t going anywhere.
But he didn’t. And that is conspicuous.
As an NFL executive pointed out: “Nobody will put this to bed.”
And therein lies one of the more intriguing stories brewing in Indianapolis.
