Raiders DE Maxx Crosby Set to Receive Extension

The future is certainly bright for Las Vegas Raiders defensive end Maxx Crosby, who comes off a break-out third season as a pro.

Now, it looks like much of that future will continue to make its progression in Sin City.

The Raiders plan to sign young Crosby to a contract extension, according to Vic Tafur of The Athletic.

The last time the Raiders faced a fateful decision with an All-Pro edge rusher, they gave away an Associated Press Defensive Player of the Year, Khalil Mack, to the Chicago Bears.

This time, a new-look front office is looking to make a strong first impression by extending its bond with its most valuable piece.

Crosby had an excellent third season in which he received his first Pro Bowl selection, was honored as a member of the NFL All-Pro second team, and won the Pro Bowl Defensive MVP Award.

Tafur reported that Crosby's potential deal could put him among some of the highest-paid edge rushers in the league.
