The Las Vegas Raiders are locking in one of their big-time players in Maxx Crosby, and giving him one of the biggest contracts in the league, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.

“Las Vegas Raiders are signing Pro Bowl DE Maxx Crosby to a three-year, $106.5 million extension that includes $91.5 guaranteed, making him the highest paid non-quarterback in NFL history, per sources. For the third time in four years, the Raiders are addressing the contract of their cornerstone player, this time cementing his relationship with the Raiders for the foreseeable future,” Schefter wrote on X, formerly Twitter.

Crosby has shown his loyalty to the Raiders, and the team is giving him the contract he deserves with his strong play.

Shortly after the announcement, Crosby posted a video of his Raiders highlights with the caption saying, “Committed to Excellence. Committed To Silver & Black. Limitless.”

At the beginning of the video, there's a snippet of Crosby saying “There's no other place I'd rather be. I want to be a Raider for life.”

At this rate, it looks like Crosby will definitely be a Raider for life with his major contract. The one thing that they want to do now is to start winning games, and having a game-changer on the defensive line is the start to doing that.

There were many questions about what Crosby's future with the team would look like after the season the Raiders had last season, but it looks like he's bought into the changes they've made and is ready to stick it through.

With the sixth pick in the NFL Draft, there are several directions they can go in from a quarterback to someone on defense, but it depends on what they do in free agency as well. It seems as if they've been aggressive in trying to acquire a veteran quarterback, and if they can do that, focusing on other needs in the draft is what they need to do.
