Raiders Working On Contract Extension With DE Maxx Crosby

Vic Tafur of The Athletic reports that the Raiders are working with DE Maxx Crosby on a contract extension that could see him become one of the highest-paid defensive players in the league.

Tafur mentions that the extension talks are going well and it is likely the deal comes together before the Raiders work on a new contract for QB Derek Carr.

Crosby, 24, is a former fourth-round pick of the Raiders back in 2019. He is entering the final year of his four-year, $3,302,264 contract that included a $782,264 signing bonus.

Crosby stands to make a base salary of $850,000 for the final year of his current deal.

In 2021, Crosby appeared in all 17 games for the Raiders and recorded 56 tackles, eight sacks, and seven passes defended.
