Raiders sign Pro Bowl DE Maxx Crosby to reported 3-year $106.5M deal, the richest for a non-QB in the NFL

The Las Vegas Raiders announced on Wednesday that they have signed Pro Bowl defensive end Maxx Crosby to a multi-year extension.

Per ESPN, the extension is for three years and $106.5 million with $91.5 in guaranteed money, making him the highest-paid non-quarterback in NFL history in terms of annual salary ($35.5 million). Minnesota Vikings receiver Justin Jefferson was previously the NFL's highest-paid non-quarterback with a four-year, $140 million contract that pays him $35 million per year.

Crosby, 27, is a four-time Pro Bowler and two-time All-Pro who's played his entire six-season career with the Raiders since they selected him in the fourth round of the 2019 draft. He's averaged 9.9 sacks per season and twice led the league in tackles for loss.

The contract ensures that the Raiders will retain their top defender under the new leadership of head coach Pete Carroll, who joined the team in January. Crosby was previously playing on a four-year, $94 million extension that expired in 2026. He's now signed with the Raiders through 2029, his age-32 season.
