00:00one guy who's had trouble standing on his own because he had surgery on his knee is max crosby
00:04uh he uh he got dealt to the ravens and then the ravens like that no thanks we're gonna back
00:10out
00:10of this deal went back to the raiders so here is a raiders gm john spy check spy tech talking
00:16about
00:16max crosby but my relationship with max since i've gotten here has been great you know we had a lot
00:20of conversations throughout the season at the end of the season obviously through the off season and
00:25and obviously we were presented with a with a challenging and and difficult decision to make
00:29and you know things have a way of going a certain way and working out the way that they're supposed
00:33to and you know we welcome him like he never left because he really never did and um it's excited
00:39to
00:39see him to work hard and attack the rehab like we know and i i know you know he's going
00:43to be back
00:44ready to rock in in august this year and and have a bunch of many good years ahead of him
00:48still
00:49i mean do you buy that is it awkward there do you think like it has to be yeah
00:55he wanted out you were willing to part with him right and now suddenly it's like oh yeah no we
01:01really wanted you here the whole yeah exactly and it's going to be very uncomfortable because
01:07the raiders are probably not going to get two first round draft picks like they did from baltimore
01:11so are they willing to take less to move on from max crosby and max crosby is not the type
01:19of guy that will
01:23um like he won't perform at the level he needs to perform at to shoot his way out of there
01:27and
01:28don't even see he's not going to do that yeah and he's not a guy who's going to mail it
01:31in yeah
01:31and so now you got a guy who doesn't want to be there because he you know just didn't like
01:37the
01:37direction of what the team was going in they don't want him there but they can't get what they feel
01:42like is market value for him how does that work well do you think it could be a situation where
01:47it
01:47goes up until the trade deadline and if vegas is bad and crosby's still performing at crosby level
01:54they're like okay well now he's proven how healthy he is right nobody can say anything about that
01:59physical and it's clear what the ravens were up to but that's a long time away i know i mean
02:04think
02:04about that like but do they if you're saying like get the most you can out of it out of
02:08a trade do they
02:09wait that long i i feel like that's gonna that's your only choice unless you're probably willing to
02:15take a little bit less hey sean you're the football trade guru guy what do you think would
02:20be what do you think they're asking price now for max crosby is by the raiders i still think the
02:26raiders want two first round picks i don't think anybody's offering that okay um so my guess is
02:31though if if what happened if what mego says happens like if he comes back this season plays
02:37looks completely healthy and is fine and there's no more questions that price might even go up more
02:42at the trade deadline because now teams are desperately trying to improve as they make a
02:46playoff push so the raiders have even more leverage so i think it actually behooves the raiders at this
02:52point to just kind of hold on to him yeah i i see what you're saying they're holding on do
02:56you think
02:56max crosby said you gotta shut off alex guerrero's key card if uh if i'm gonna be around here oh
03:01he
03:02probably asked about it tom brady probably said no but he asked right do you think max looks at tom
03:07and
03:07feels a little bit like hey you know maybe you had your hand in this a little bit or me
03:13in the back
03:13i would assume everybody does like i it's the same situation that occurred here with alex guerrero
03:22like but i'm just saying but but why tom brady's a really smart guy uh-huh why does he insist
03:29on
03:29somebody like alex guerrero being around and involved with the raiders to the point where the
03:37guy is basically telling players you know hey i'm a part i'm a part of the management structure here
03:44you better you better do this right better drink my avocado water rise up bucko well because you know
03:51like you guys were saying about me tom and i we're know-it-alls and tom's probably like this is
03:57the way
03:57you do it at work for me we don't believe in lifting weights and remember that whole thing
04:02when he was with danny amandola and i believe it was like julian edelman there in wyoming and gronk
04:08he's like and and they're like well we gotta lift weights tom tom's like you don't want to do that
04:13you know right so that's and and that's why i wonder with this raiders thing and mego i'll ask you
04:20do you feel like this raiders thing with tom could be an issue because he still wants to be close
04:26to
04:26players but yet he's their boss you know we had this conversation yesterday missoula yeah
04:33like how does it like you know how's he because he he wanted like max crosby was one of the
04:39people
04:39that i think was supposed to be at this flag football event you had ashton genti there now
04:45when ashton genti comes up for a contract it's like well wait a second tom i played in your flag
04:51football game right and you don't want to pay me yeah i hear what you're saying but i also think
04:57like okay that that's been an issue for guys when they go to the booth too right and tom has
05:02not
05:02seemed to be comfortable in the booth outright criticizing quarterbacks he'll say in a general
05:09way right oh these quarterbacks they dumbed down the game but in a game situation he won't say
05:16what the hell is kyler murray thinking there like he won't do that doesn't seem to be comfortable
05:21complimenting the quarterback here at all that's true no dog in that fight but don't you think that's
05:26a little bit different when you're just like in the booth and you don't want to criticize to verse
05:31versus where they believe that you have a say in what's going on with that team so if you're a
05:37raiders
05:38player don't you think brady really wants to be liked listen i don't have a dog in the fight
05:43i think he really cares about being liked to your point so yeah so does he go to like does
05:49he go to
05:49ashton genti at one point and going hey listen i'd love to help you when it comes to contract but
05:54i
05:54don't have a dog in the fight i don't have enough juice to make it happen
