The Las Vegas Raiders have not been able to consistently put together a strong defense for well over 20 years. In fact, since reaching the Super Bowl in 2002, they have ranked in the top half of the league in scoring defense just once, finishing ninth in 2003.
In every other season of Maxx Crosby's seven-year career, the franchise has ranked 24th or lower in scoring defense. While those numbers are not ideal for any team looking to compete, the Raiders have struggled to put talent around the five-time Pro Bowler.
Consider this: 2021, when Denzel Perryman made the Pro Bowl, was the only time that Crosby has played with another Pro Bowler or All-Pro on his side of the ball.
