Maxx Crosby's Past Comments Spark Eagles Fans' Hope

With the rumors swirling about the possibility of Crosby as an option for Philadelphia, it has put a spotlight on his comments about the franchise from back in December.

“Cities that really have substance to them and true fanbases, and love for their city and the game, and going to Philly, you can feel that energy when you go there,” Crosby said. “There were people everywhere downtown. We stayed right downtown in the thick of it. You know how Philly is. They’re rowdy, they are crazy, flipping you off (in the buses) … they didn’t give a damn about anything. ...

"I lowkey never do this, but I was driving into Philly, and this is the first time I’ve ever played in Philly, so that’s why I took some pictures; was driving in there, trees just all white (covered with a recent snowfall) and fans everywhere in the tailgate,” he said. “You can see the stadium behind it. I took a couple dope-ass pictures because this is like my first time every playing there. If you love football, that’s what you dream of as a kid, playing in Philadelphia in December in a grimy-ass environment. That is exactly what you dream of, so I loved it.”

That sounds like a guy who likes Philadelphia. Now, are the Raiders willing to move him? Also, are the Eagles willing to get involved if he is available? Philadelphia never turns down an opportunity to discuss a superstar-level talent. The offseason is young, but keep an eye out.
