The Las Vegas Raiders are rewarding their star pass rusher Maxx Crosby with a significant raise, amounting to $6 million this season and an additional $1.2 million next year, according to a source familiar with the deal.
This information was shared with The Associated Press under the condition of anonymity, as the contract details have not been publicly disclosed yet.
Crosby still has three years remaining on his current contract. He inked a four-year extension in March 2022, valued at approximately $95 million. Originally, Crosby was set to earn around $19.38 million this year and $21.92 million in 2025, based on data from Spotrac.
Over the past five seasons, Crosby has established himself as one of the NFL’s premier pass rushers, accumulating 52 sacks, the fifth-highest total in the league during this timeframe. This includes 27 sacks in the last two years alone, just three short of Myles Garrett’s league-leading 30 over the same period.
This raise further underscores Crosby’s value to the Raiders as they continue to invest in their defensive standout.
