Maxx Crosby signs record $106.5M extension with Raiders

Maxx Crosby has signed a record-breaking three-year, $106.5 million contract extension with the Las Vegas Raiders, making him the highest-paid non-quarterback in NFL history, with $91.5 million guaranteed. The deal ties Crosby, a four-time Pro Bowl selection, to the team through 2029 and comes as the Raiders undergo significant organizational changes under minority owner Tom Brady. Crosby's impressive stats include 59.5 sacks over six seasons, placing him among the top pass-rushers in the league. His contract may set a precedent for other star defensive players seeking extensions, like Micah Parsons and T.J. Watt. Despite frustrations with the team's performance, Crosby expressed a desire to remain with the Raiders and hopes for a strong future, especially after the hiring of new head coach Pete Carroll. The Raiders are also well-positioned in free agency with substantial cap space available.
