When it comes to wanting the Las Vegas Raiders to re-sign Antonio Pierce for the 2024 campaign, Maxx Crosby has been extremely outspoken. In the event that Pierce is not returned to lead the team in the forthcoming season, he has even gone so far as to declare that he will consider trades. Even though Peirce has now participated in a few interviews, it appears that the Raiders will still welcome him back.
Not only has Crosby expressed his wish for Pierce to be the coach, but Davante Adams has also made no secret of his desire for the coach to lead the team in the upcoming season. Crosby has now gone even farther, criticizing Raiders owner Mark Davis for hiring Josh McDaniels as head coach after he left the team.After McDaniels was fired, Pierce took over and the Raiders appeared like a completely different club. Their defense was among the best in the league throughout Pierce’s tenure. They were successful in winning big games, most notably against the Kansas City Chiefs, who were their division rivals, and it was clear that McDaniels’ departure had altered the entire dynamic in the locker room.
In a recent podcast, Crosby expressed strong opinions over the hiring of McDaniels over Bisaccia, a decision made by owner Mark Davis.
Crosby and numerous other players were correct to be dissatisfied with the direction owner Davis was taking the team—McDaniels was a bad fit for the group. Crosby was described as cautioning about repeating the same error twice.
Not only does Crosby want the Raiders to change course, but he also says he will search for other clubs to play for if they don’t. In this situation, Mark Davis—who is by no means the NFL’s quietest owner—should pay attention to his great players and bring Pierce back.
An NFL locker room that is as good as the Raiders’ was while Pierce was there is extremely uncommon. Even though they weren’t really playing for the postseason, he got them excited. The athletes were obviously listening to his message because the locker room was connected. The players must really adore Pierce since no player has ever threatened to trade for a coach’s return. Before an other team offers him an irresistible offer, Mark Davis had better get him back as quickly as possible.
