Maxx Crosby’s recent contract extension with the Las Vegas Raiders is special for several reasons.
For one, the Raiders lock down their young, premier pass rusher for the foreseeable future, something the previous regime failed to do. The date was also significant as Crosby signed his new deal on the second anniversary of his sobriety, serving as another milestone to show how far he’s come. Even the dollar amount was note-worthy, $98.98 million, as the extension matches his jersey number.
But beyond just the uniform, the 2019 fourth-round pick’s new salary matches his play on the field.
