After winning the Super Bowl with the Seattle Seahawks as offensive coordinator, Klint Kubiak has arrived in Las Vegas as the Raiders’ next head coach.
As expected, one of the first questions for Kubiak focused on All-Pro pass rusher Maxx Crosby, whose goal is to win. Speculation about his future with the organization recently surfaced after he allegedly told minority owner Tom Brady that he plans to leave Las Vegas, according to Fox Sports’ Jay Glazer.
Those rumors were addressed on Tuesday when Kubiak spoke to the media, revealing that Crosby was the first player in the Raiders’ building and that they shared a cup of coffee together.
“I got to a cup of coffee with Maxx this morning. Love talking with him,” Kubiak said. “And I look forward to continuing those conversations. He was the first one in here working out. So that fired me up.
“We want him to be a part of our success going forward, there’s no doubt about that.”

If Kubiak’s comments are accurate — which seems likely — it doesn’t sound like Crosby is ready to walk away from the Raiders just yet.
Crosby is under contract through 2029, so the Raiders aren’t obligated to trade him even if there’s some potential drama. While that could complicate Kubiak’s first offseason, Crosby hasn’t given any clear signals that he plans to leave, and it doesn’t appear the Raiders have any intention of moving their franchise centerpiece.
