Maxx Crosby has had enough of former NFL executive Michael Lombardi.
On Sunday, Crosby returned to action after missing the first game of his career last week against the Browns.
He recorded two sacks against the Broncos, but his team lost the game.
After the game, Maxx Crosby decided to give Michael Lombardi a piece of his mind.
Lombardi suggested there was possible discord between Crosby and coach Antonio Pierce during an appearance on “The Pat McAfee Show” earlier this week.

“Then I have to hear these clowns talking online and talking on ‘The Pat McAfee Show’ saying something is going on,” Crosby said. “These clowns are sitting on a couch talking about what I should be doing. When the reality is I’m gaining yardage and trying to get right so I can get back on the field. Everyone knows my intentions but they try to speak for me.
“But don’t speak about me when you don’t know what’s going on and you’re speaking for me or speaking about the organization. ‘Oh, something must be going on with Maxx.’ Come on, bro. You know where I want to be. You think I want to be anywhere else? No. I have this (expletive) tatted on my body. I don’t want to go anywhere.”
Raiders dropped to 2-3 on the year.
Maxx Crosby Ignores Davante Adams Trade Situation
Maxx Crosby is just trying to focus too hard on the Davante Adams situation in Las Vegas.
Following the Raiders’ 34-18 loss to the Broncos on Sunday, he made it clear that this was nothing new for him.
“You think I’m not used to this sh-t going on? It is what it is. I’ve been dealing with it my whole career,” Crosby said. “It is what it is.”
His comments come days after Adams reportedly told the team that he prefers to be traded. The Raiders reportedly have been reaching out to teams to “gauge interest” in Adams.
The wide receiver did not play Sunday due to a hamstring injury.
REPORT: Raiders Star Davante Adams Will Force Trade, “And Guess Where He Would Want To Go?”, Insider Guarantees

It’s hardly a secret that Davante Adams has become disenchanted in Las Vegas.
After joining the Raiders so he could team up with his best pal, Derek Carr, the quarterback has left the team to join the New Orleans Saints after getting benched to end 2022.
The Raiders aren’t tipped to have a positive season in 2023, which does not bode well for Adams, who missed the playoffs last term for just the third time in nine years.
The wide receiver was keen on reuniting with Aaron Rodgers after playing alongside the four-time MVP for eight seasons in Green Bay and wanted that to happen in Vegas. However, the Raiders ended up signing Jimmy Garoppolo and it’s now thought that the reunion could happen in New York, with Rodgers having joined the Jets.
According to Craig Carton of Fox Sports, there will be reports of the wideout wanting to leave, and he will probably want to go to NY.
“I guarantee you there will be reports coming out of Vegas that Davante Adams will want out,” he said during a recent episode of ‘The Carton Show’. “And guess where he would want to go?”

Though a move is possible, it would take a lot of doing as Adams has a dead cap hit of $54.3 million this year.
Interestingly enough, Rodgers just took a significant pay cut in order to help the Jets further improve their roster. The veteran quarterback was guaranteed $110 million over the next two seasons but is now set to earn $75 million after agreeing to a $35 million reduction.
While Adams might not be on their radar at the moment, things could take that sort of turn depending on what happens during the upcoming campaign.
