The Las Vegas Raiders are signing Maxx Crosby to an extension, the franchise announced Wednesday.
It’s a three-year, $106.5-million deal that includes $91.5 million guaranteed. This will make Crosby the highest-paid non-quarterback in NFL history, sources told ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
“He fits perfectly and we’re so proud to have Maxx be a part of this organization,” new Raiders head coach Pete Carroll said, according to The Athletic. “But he knows this is just the start. … This is a great day for us.”
Crosby was limited to 12 games in 2024, but still led the team with 7.5 sacks. He earned his fourth consecutive Pro Bowl with 45 tackles (17 for loss), five pass breakups, and 20 quarterback hits. Crosby is also one of the very few defensive lineman that play almost every play, if not truly every single play, of each game defensively.
Maxx Crosby has had at least seven sacks in each season since he was picked in the fourth round of the 2019 draft. This includes a career best 14.5 in 2023. He’s also led the league in tackles for loss twice with 23 in 2023 and 22 in 2022.
Crosby’s 59.5 sacks rank third in Raiders history behind Greg Townsend (107.5) and Howie Long (84). He’s tallied 105 tackles for loss and 144 quarterback hits.
With the Raiders signing on Pete Carroll as their head coach, they are in a win now mindset. Keeping Crosby around will be a huge help to that.
