Raiders’ Crosby Shares Thoughts on His Massive Extension

There were rumors swirling all throughout the season and offseason that Las Vegas Raiders star Maxx Crosby wanted to leave the team and pursue a trade elsewhere.

Crosby shut down all those rumors when he signed a three-year, $106.5 million contract, with $91.5 million guaranteed to remain a Raider. He is the heart and soul of the franchise, and he is not going anywhere for the foreseeable future.

Since his contract extension, Crosby has not said much, except for last week’s press conference. On the latest episode of his podcast, The Rush, he discussed the life-changing money he earned.

“Happiness and peace, being at peace, and being in the right space up here is more important than anything,” he said. “So, I took that heavily into consideration. There was obviously a million rumors, you hear all this s—, you see this s— on TV. There’s a lot of negativity that comes with it when it comes to trade rumors. Your own fans, they start coming at you. 99 percent of this s— is not coming from me. Every word I say is picked apart. So, there was a lot of that, but the end-all be-all, my tone never changed. I always wanted to be a Raider since day one. I think everybody knows that.”
