# Hondo Carpenter: Carpenter says the Raiders will not move Maxx Crosby at the trade deadline unless a contender offers a 'very high' price, insisting the team isn't shopping him and he doesn't want out. He also says Tre Tucker won't re-sign in Las Vegas for less than the $12 million per year Jalen Nailor makes.
