HENDERSON, Nev. -- Pro Bowl defensive end Maxx Crosby has agreed to a three-year, $106.5 million contract extension with the Las Vegas Raiders that makes him the highest paid non-quarterback in NFL history, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Wednesday.
The extension, announced without terms by the Raiders, includes $91.5 million guaranteed, sources told ESPN.
Crosby had two years left on his four-year extension that he signed in 2022. He had a base salary of $22.2 million in 2025 and $18.8 million in 2026. However, he didn't have any guaranteed money left.
Last offseason, the Raiders gave Crosby a $6 million raise ahead of the 2024 campaign while moving $1.2 million from his 2026 salary into 2025.
At the NFL scouting combine, general manager John Spytek didn't comment on whether a new deal with Crosby would get done this offseason but made it clear that he wanted the 27-year-old defensive end to be in Las Vegas for the long run.
"I envision Maxx being a Raider for a long time here, and I think that's what he wants too," said Spytek, who also said that Crosby embodies the type of players he and coach Pete Carroll want for the organization.
Crosby, a four-time Pro Bowl selection, has developed into one of the league's top edge rushers since the Raiders drafted him in the fourth round of the 2019 draft. Since entering the league, Crosby has totaled 59.5 sacks -- tied for fifth most in the NFL.
In 2024, Crosby totaled 45 tackles and 7.5 sacks in 12 games before his season was cut short due to ankle surgery.
While Crosby has filled up the stat sheet, he has been hellbent on winning. The Raiders have only made the playoffs once in Crosby's six years with the organization, but he's hopeful things turn around under Carroll and Spytek.
"I'm always optimistic," Crosby said. "At the end of the day, I want to be the best at what I do, and I want to win. That's all I care about. I literally have screenshots of it. I have pictures of it ... the Hall of Fame and Super Bowl championships."
