""There's a lot of fence-mending that's going to need to happen if the Raiders are going to hang on to Maxx Crosby," Breer said on NBC Sports Boston's Early Edition. "It goes all the way to the top of the organization with Tom Brady and Alex Guerrero. The way the communication happened with the injury in December left a mark.""
""This is a guy who's incredibly loyal to the Raiders organization, wanted to spend his entire career there, and is loyal to Mark Davis as well. Now, he feels betrayed, and I think that there is this feeling, 'I'm 28 years old, they didn't do right by me, so now it's time for me to go find a way to win.'""
New England needs to upgrade a roster that finished one win short of a Super Bowl, with edge rusher a clear need. The Patriots ranked 26th in total sacks (35 over 17 games) and 20th in sack percentage (5.9%). K'Lavon Chaisson had 7.5 sacks but is a potential free agent, while Harold Landry had 8.5 sacks but faded late due to a knee injury. Pro Bowl edge rusher Maxx Crosby has 69.5 sacks in 110 games and could be available after a reported relationship breakdown with the Raiders following a shutdown over a knee issue. Communication around the injury reportedly left a mark and Crosby reportedly feels betrayed.
