Maxx Crosby is staying in Sin City.
Starpass Rush signed an extension with the Raiders on Wednesday, the team announced, saying multiple reports were a three-year, $106.5 million contract and $91.5 million guaranteed, making it the highest paying non-quarter in NFL history.
Crosby, 27, had two years left on a four-year, $94 million contract.
The four-time Pro Bowler was one of the best defensive ends in the NFL since being selected by the Raiders in the fourth round of the 2019 draft. This earned 59.5 sacks, 144 quarterback hits and 105 tackles for six professional seasonal losses ahead of his final year at Oakland before moving to Las Vegas.
He had 7.5 sacks in 12 games during the 2024 season.
The Raiders finished under .500 in four of Crosby's six years, making the playoffs only once during that stretch. They lost to the Bengals in the wild card round in the 2021-22 season.
Crosby states his desire to be a “raider for life,” but has expressed his frustration over how things went to the franchise, which fired Antonio Pierce after a season, finishing 4-13 this season as the team's full-time head coach.
The NFL Network reported that Crosby's future with the team is “up in the air” before Super Bowl 2025, with the Raiders still having a big void at quarterback.
Crosby said on his podcast, “The Rush,” he hopes the Raiders will sign Aaron Rodgers after the Jets decide to move on from the age of 41.
And after the Raiders hire former Super Bowl-winning coach Pete Carroll, he sticks it out in Vegas.
