It’s done. Maxx Crosby got the big contract extension the Raiders were working on. Shortly after the deal, Crosby himself tweeted out pics of him signing his new deal. - - RAIDER NATION!!!!! WE GOT UNFINISHED BUSINESS TO SETTLE #RUNITBACK #RAIDER4LIFE pic.twitter.com/nZrfd66WH3 - — MaddMaxx (@CrosbyMaxx) March 11, 2022 - - - As you might expect, the Pro Bowl pass rusher got paid. Tom Pelissero had the numbers. - - The #Raiders are signing Pro Bowl DE Maxx Crosby to a four-year, $98.98 million contract extension with $95M in new money and $53 million guaranteed, sources tell me and @RapSheet. A massive payday for a rising star. - — Tom Pelissero (@TomPelissero) March 11, 2022 - - - It’s an extension which means, Crosby will be under contract for at least the next five years. - “The process was pretty fast, to be honest,” Maxx Crosby said of how a deal was put together this offseason. “They wanted to get it done fast, we wanted to get it done fast. But it had to be right at the same time. - “So, it’s a big credit to the organization to Dave Ziegler and coach McDaniels. They showed their commitment to me right away. They didn’t want to play any games. They told me everything you want to hear as a player when new coaches coming in. They were awesome. - “I got to give credit to CJ [Laboy], my agent, Doug Hendrickson, my whole team at Wasserman that collaborated to make this thing happen. It wasn’t easy. It was stressful this whole week. Every day I was on the phone for a long time and they were back and forth. It was stressful but it was also exciting. It’s a good kind of stress.” - As for Crosby’s plans for his money with his new contract, he has many. Namely to help people and dogs. - I spoke to Crosby two years ago, following his first season in the NFL. At that time he said his plans for his second NFL contract were to open a Pit Bull rescue. - “That’s definitely something we’re looking into,” said Crosby. “Whether it’s a collaboration with a foundation or starting our own. There’s obviously a lot that goes into it. But my work in that community has gotten bigger and bigger every single day. I’m doing a ton of stuff to try to give back and rescue and get fosters for as many Pits out there as I can. But as far as my Pit Bulls and things of that nature regarding a foundation, that’s something that’s super important to me. We’re working to continue to have those conversations and figure the best situation so we can get done.” - - List - - NFL Wire Network mock draft: QB moves shake up projections - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Raiders Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Raiders Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.
