Raiders Star Responds To Backlash for Shoving Coach During Blowout Loss

The Las Vegas Raiders have seen a wide spectrum of emotions from its roster through the first six weeks of the regular season as wide receiver Davante Adams has requested a trade from the team.

On Sunday, another star player made a choice that will invite speculation about the upcoming trade deadline.

Late in the Raiders’ 32-13 blowout loss at home to the Pittsburgh Steelers, broadcast cameras caught Maxx Crosby running off the field and pushing Mike Caldwell as the run game coordinator tried to offer the player a high five.

The shove appeared to be antagonistic, and Caldwell seemed to be off-put by the force Crosby used to push his coach.

Following the game, the defensive end posted a message on his X account about the matter, as video of the incident went viral online.

“Mike Caldwell Is My Guy,” Crosby wrote. “One Of The Best People In The Business. Thats A Love Push, Stop Reaching.”

There were rumors earlier in Week 6 that Crosby might want out of Las Vegas if Adams were traded from the Raiders.
