Maxx Crosby Fantasy

The Las Vegas Raiders signed Pro Bowl defensive end Maxx Crosby to a four-year, $98.98 million contract extension with $95 million in new money and $53 million guaranteed on Friday, according to sources. Crosby is now the NFL's fourth highest-paid edge rusher at his $23.75 million annual average. The 24-year-old was a steal in the fourth round of the 2019 draft out of Eastern Michigan. He hasn't missed a single game in his first three seasons and had a career-high 56 tackles (36 solo), 13 tackles for loss, 30 QB hits, seven passes defensed and eight sacks in 17 regular season games last year. Crosby has a combined 25 sacks to begin his NFL career and will be a popular IDP target at defensive end in 2022.

The Las Vegas Raiders and defensive end Maxx Crosby have begun contract extension talks and they are going very well, according to league sources. There is a very good chance that Crosby will get a new deal done before quarterback Derek Carr, and the Raiders are working to make Crosby one of the highest-paid defensive players in the league. The 24-year-old is entering the final year of his deal after a Pro Bowl season in which he registered eight sacks, 30 QB hits and 13 tackles for loss. He also led the league with 92 QB pressures, which was well ahead the Rams' Aaron Donald (77). Crosby has not missed a game and has 25 sacks since he was taken in the fourth round in 2019. A salary north of $20 million per year for Crosby seems like a good starting point.

Las Vegas Raiders defensive end Maxx Crosby enters Week 3 primed to make his biggest impact yet this season. The third-year veteran has already registered two sacks for 12 yards and 10 QB hits through two games this season. He will have his work cut out for him this Sunday against a Dolphins team that has the worst pass protection rating in the league and will be without starting quarterback Tua Tagovailoa this weekend. Managers can expect Crosby to be an IDP contributor for sure.
