Las Vegas raiders Announced Wednesday That they signed the defensive of the Pro Bowl Maxx Crosby to a multi -year extension.
By espnThe extension is three years and 106.5 million dollars with $ 91.5 in guaranteed money, which makes him the best paid non-quarter in the history of the NFL in terms of annual salary ($ 35.5 million). The Vikings receiver of Minnesota, Justin Jefferson, was previously the best paid non-qualified in the NFL with a contract of $ 140 million over four years which pays him $ 35 million per year.
Crosby, 27, is a grid four times and twice all-pro who has played his entire six-seasons with the raiders since they selected it in the fourth round of the 2019 draft. He has on average 9.9 bags per season and led the league twice for loss.
Crosby told Yahoo Sports in February to stay with the raiders that “I would like to be here, but I want to win”.
The contract guarantees that the raiders will keep their best defender under the new management of head coach Pete Carroll, who joined the team in January. Crosby previously played on an extension of $ 94 million over four years which expired in 2026. It is now signed with the raiders until 2029, its 32 -year season.
The extension of Crosby helps to devote a defense that ranked 15th in the NFL in yards per authorized match, but ran 26th from the League while abandoning 25.5 points per match.
But the greatest needs of raiders remain in attack, especially in the quarter-arre. Las Vegas scored 18.2 points per game last season, which ranked 29th in the NFL. Their main option under the center remains Aidan O’Connell, which is the only quarter-back in the list with the NFL departure experience after Raiders would have informed Gardner Minshew On Wednesday, they intend to release him.
Whether through the project or the free agency, the acquisition of a quarter will be the absolute priority in Las Vegas this offseason. The raiders have the choice n ° 6 in the draft with two quarters of first tower projected available in the Cam district of Miami and Sheder Sanders of Colorado. Sam Darnold and Aaron Rodgers are the best quarters available in free agency.
