The Raiders are confident Maxx Crosby will remain in Las Vegas in 2026. But the defensive end is reportedly unhappy with the organization, and a close ally of Tom Brady is part of the reason.
Alex Guerrero , Tom Brady's longtime training guru and alternative medicine practitioner, has several players and coaches frustrated by his presence, The Athletic's Michael Silver reported .

"Guerrero, who regularly attends practices and meetings, purports to possess significant organizational power, informing players of impending transactions and even indicating to staff members who don't follow his instructions that their jobs may be at risk," Silver wrote .
"Guerrero is perceived to have a direct pipeline to Brady, who lives in Florida and serves as Fox's lead NFL analyst, limiting his in-person presence," he continued . "Suffice it to say that there are trust issues permeating the Raiders ' training facility in Henderson, Nev."
Brady, a minority owner of the Raiders, brought Guerrero to Las Vegas in 2025.
Crosby has spent his entire career with the Raiders. He hasn't publicly requested a trade, but Silver wrote the game-changer has "exhausted all efforts" in Las Vegas.

Last season, there was a disagreement between Crosby and the Raiders with how the team handled his injury. A report surfaced that he left the team facility after it was determined he would sit out the final two games of the season.
Crosby made it clear he didn't care about the No. 1 draft pick — which the Raiders secured — and that his job was to be the best defensive end he could be.
The 29-year-old also has told NFL insider Dianna Russini that he'd like to play for New England Patriots coach Mike Vrabel.
Crosby would certainly be an intriguing addition to New England 's defense. He had 10.0 sacks for the Raiders in 2025 with 28 tackles for loss, 20 QB hits and an interception.

The Patriots have the cap space to add Crosby, but whether they put together a package that would seem desirable enough for the Raiders to consider is unknown.
Whether the Raiders move on from Crosby remains to be seen, but it wouldn't be a surprise if his days in Las Vegas are numbered.
