To put it bluntly, Maxx Crosby got a bag.
The Las Vegas Raiders signed Crosby to a three-year, $106.5 million extension, making him the highest-paid non-quarterback player in the NFL. That’s huge, and for a player like Trey Hendrickson, it now justifies the price tag for a pivotal defensive player.
Hendrickson has had 17.5 sacks in each of the last two seasons, and he has been among the most disruptive in the league over that span. The key difference between Crosby and Hendrickson could be age.
Crosby, who plays for the Las Vegas Raiders, a team that hasn’t seen postseason success in years, is 27 years old.
