“We Need Him”: Despite Turning the Page on NFL Comeback, Raiders DE Maxx Crosby Hasn’t Given Up on $300M Tom Brady Donning the Silver & Black After Offseason Chats

No matter how much Tom Brady tries to convince his fans and followers that he is retired, there just seems to be no concrete evidence of that fact. This time, it wasn’t NFL Twitter that expressed their desire for a Brady comeback. Instead, it was one of his future team’s superstars who put the 7x Lombardi winner on the pedestal. Las Vegas Raiders defensive end Maxx Crosby recently made his feelings about a TB12 return crystal clear. 

During his most recent conversation on ‘The Voncast’ with Buffalo Bills’ 2x Lombardi champion Von Miller, Maxx Crosby discussed an array of subjects. Ranging from his clashes with Patrick Mahomes, including the infamous head-butting incident, to his feelings about Brady becoming the minority owner of the franchise and potentially donning the silver and black, Crosby laid it all out. 

Maxx Crosby sees a Tom Brady comeback as a genuine possibility 

After his retirement this February, Tom Brady has been linked with return rumors with multiple franchises. First, it was the Miami Dolphins. Brady squashed those rumors, citing that he was too busy taking care of his children and their cats. However, with him entering a minority partnership in the Las Vegas Raiders organization, and with their quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo failing his physicals after a March surgery, a comeback possibility became more real than ever. 

That is exactly how Maxx Crosby sees it. After a casual chat in the off-season, Crosby feels that the former Tampa Bay Buccaneers passer could very well swoop in to rescue the franchise if the need arises. 

“I mean, obviously we got Jimmy G coming back. He’s going to be healthy. But you never know what’s gonna happen. Tom is a competitor and the greatest of all time. So at the absolute worst, if everything doesn’t go the way it’s supposed to and we need him, I would not be surprised if Tom Brady shows up in a Raiders jersey,” Crosby told Von Miller. 

The DE also described his conversation with Brady as something he was not expecting. “I was not expecting to see Tom Brady on that day. He just walked in and it was awesome,” Crosby added.

And Maxx Crosby’s hope lingers more because of Tom Brady’s recent comments, that he made jokingly or otherwise. 

TB12 brought up his comeback subject in a recent viral video 

The past week, Mr. Beast shattered all YouTube records with his ‘$1 vs $1,000,000,000 Yacht’ video. The video told the perfect story as it featured $300 million-worth Tom Brady when Mr. Beast toured the $300 million yacht. However, it wasn’t a gentle sit-down with the 15x Pro Bowler. Mr. Beast challenged Brady to throw a football from the deck of the yacht and hit his drone that was flying at a significant distance. That’s when Brady said the golden words. 

“If I hit that drone on the first try, maybe I should come out of retirement,” TB12 said. Moments later, Brady threw the perfect spiral and brought the drone down into the ocean, thoroughly impressing Mr. Beast, his crew, and his daughter, Vivian. 

Will Jimmy Garoppolo be fit by the time the regular season rolls in? Or will it be up to Tom Brady to bring a Lombardi Trophy to another famed franchise?
