HENDERSON, Nev. -- Raiders defensive end Maxx Crosby hopes veteran quarterback Aaron Rodgers plays in Las Vegas in 2025, he said on his podcast.
"I think with all the doubt and negativity around Rodgers, he's going to have a big year, and I hope it's in our town," Crosby said on an episode of "The Rush Podcast" released Tuesday. "... That would be legendary."
The Raiders are in the market for a quarterback after going 4-13 in 2014 with Gardner Minshew, Aidan O'Connell and Desmond Ridder, who started one game.
First-year general manager John Spytek has said the Raiders would explore every avenue to find a new signal-caller.
Las Vegas showed interest in Matthew Stafford before the 37-year-old agreed to a restructured deal last week with the Los Angeles Rams. And sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter the Raiders will look into veteran options such as Sam Darnold and Russell Wilson.
Rodgers, 41, is set to be a free agent after the New York Jets announced last month that they would be moving on from the quarterback after two seasons. The New York Giants already have interest in the four-time MVP.
Rodgers' time with the Jets was frustrating. He suffered a torn Achilles in his first season and his return to the field in 2024 didn't live up to high expectations.
The Jets finished 5-12 last season, with Rodgers throwing for 3,897 yards and 28 touchdowns. He was 25th in QBR, 30th in completion percentage and 28th in yards per attempt among qualified passers.
