What sparked the discussion about Maxx Crosby?
Rahimi Harrison-Grody. Midday's Tindal 2. On Chicago Sports Radio, 104.3 The Score. He's one of the best in the league, one of the best play callers without a doubt. He does an incredible job in all facets of offense. You know what I mean? Like the run game to the pass game to the trickeration. He's really got all that. He's somebody I respect a lot. I really I can't say much bad things about him.
Why is Maxx Crosby considered a top pass rusher?
You know what I mean? Every time you go out there against an offense led by him, like you got to be on your best because he's going to make it difficult. So, yeah, respect the hell out of him. That was Max Crosby on the Let's Go podcast talking about Ben Johnson. And, you know, we try to pay attention to audience feedback and audience behavior. And sometimes you learn too much. But other times you just learn that the two words that send this group, us, the Rahimi Harris Grody Show Collective, you into a tizzy is Max Crosby. And you know what? I kind of like it. Yeah, Ray? Where are my Maxinistas at? Yeah. Hit us up if you're a Maxinista. I like TJ Maxx and I like Max Crosby. I think that makes me a Maxinista.
Talk to me about the Maxinista thing again. So Maxinistas, I mean, that's really Layla, right? It's the TJ Maxx. If you shop at TJ Maxx, you're a TJ Maxxinista. I love TJ Maxx. So we're repurposing for the Maxx Crosby audience. Because there are a lot of Maxx Crosby fans out here in our audience. And if you are one, go ahead and text us. 312-644-6767. And identify yourself as a Maxxinista. Yeah, or if you're just like TJ Maxx, because that works too. That has the word Maxx in it. I'm more of a Marshalls guy, but hey. Oh my God. Look at you. Why didn't I not even realize that until now? Just telling you. Marshallista. You think I know people. Great place to pop in and grab a belt or a tie or many of those things.
773. Yes. Send Crosby to the Bulls. If only. If only. So Brad Biggs came out with a mailbag. And we know how these things go. I think Brad is calling it a Q&A now. I think that's what the kids are calling it. Because a mailbag implies like physical mail. We know how that goes. So Brad Biggs is up the title to Q&A, and we know what happens. He will sneak in breaking news on you or a big news nugget. And I didn't get to the big news nugget because I, like our listenership, stopped at Max Crosby. So here is the question that was asked.
What are the potential risks of trading for Maxx Crosby?
I believe Max Crosby is too much risk for the Bears. Injuries cost to get him in age. Do you agree that there are better moves the Bears can make for pass rusher? And then there's a picture and everything. So Biggs replied, Crosby, who turns 29 in August, is an elite disruptive player who has one of the most incredible motors you'll ever see on a man who is 6'5 and 255 pounds. And now I feel like reading Who's Your Guy. Now I feel like that's what I'm doing. He's tremendous theater for the NFL, and while from a distance he looks like the kind of guy who could spend his entire career in a Raiders uniform, Crosby's potential availability via trade will be a huge story this offseason. Does Las Vegas with a new coach and the number one draft pick go full teardown and ship off the face of the franchise to the highest bidder?
Last week at the Senior Bowl, I chatted with a handful of veteran personnel men about the possibility that Crosby could be available. They said what you'd expect. Nothing would surprise them. On the Higon meter, is it starting to percolate a little bit? 8.5. 8.5. They were also in agreement that, given the choice between Crosby and Cincinnati Bengals free agent defensive end Trey Hendrickson, they would choose Crosby. I think that's settled, right? I feel like that's everybody's theory. It's not an apples-to-apples comparison, though, because Crosby would require trade compensation. Would Las Vegas consider moving Crosby? One thing the Raiders do not need this offseason is cap space. They're number two in the league now in available space.
The feeling I got was that people aren't concerned the knee surgery Crosby had at the end of the season will negatively affect his production moving forward.
