Las Vegas Raiders edge rusher Maxx Crosby said he spent his first NFL paycheck on a diamond Rolex, while Raiders quarterback Kirk Cousins said his first purchase was a used Honda CRV from his brother, according to remarks the two exchanged in a video posted to X by the account @MLFootball.

Context

Both Crosby and Cousins were picked in the fourth round of the NFL draft, according to the account of the exchange.

During the early stages of training camp in August, Cousins and Crosby were suspended from team activities for a day after they got into a fight in the middle of practice, according to the report. The two set aside their differences the next day and shook hands.

Since then, the Raiders have won their first two games of the season, the team's best start since 2021, the same season the Raiders last reached the playoffs.

Cousins has thrown for 413 yards and six touchdowns with a completion percentage of 67.8. Crosby, who had knee surgery over the offseason, has recorded 1.5 sacks and four QB hits.

All Perspectives
Maxx Crosby, Las Vegas Raiders edge rusher: Crosby said he told his financial adviser he wanted a "blue-face, bust-down Rolex. A diamond." He said the adviser told him, "He told me, that's a 10-sack watch." Crosby said he reached the goal the adviser set for him and immediately had buyer's remorse, saying, "I got overcharged for the watch. It was way too small. It was falling apart. It was terrible," and, "But I just wanted to get the watch, and I ended up getting rid of it." Crosby said that despite parting with the watch, the story helped make him accountable for pursuing goals.
Kirk Cousins, Las Vegas Raiders quarterback: Cousins said his first purchase was a used Honda CRV from his brother. After Crosby finished the story, Cousins said he liked it and said, "You can learn from good examples and bad examples."
