The Raiders reworked Crosby's contract to give him an additional $6 million in 2023 and $1.2 million in 2024, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. The reworked contract does not come with any additional years to Crosby's current contract. With Malcolm Koonce already in the mix and the signing of Christain Wilkins this offseason, the Raiders should have among the best defensive lines in the league in 2024.
Crosby (knee) said, "I'm feeling better than I ever have," Monday, after he spent much of 2023 fighting through a knee injury that required draining multiple times a week, Nick Shook of NFL.com reports. Crosby set career highs in combined tackles (90) and sacks (14.5) last season despite spending much of the campaign hampered by a bursa joint issue. The 26-year-old underwent a procedure to correct it in January after the season ended and began rehabbing it soon after, which went "incredible," according to Crosby.
Though Crosby missed practice all week while dealing with a knee injury he sustained in Week 9 against the Giants and was listed as doubtful, he's available Sunday after all. Crosby has been able to play through the issue and has played in 100 percent of the Raiders' defensive snaps in his last four appearances. Crosby's 10.5 sacks on the year is tied for sixth best in the NFL with Kayvon Thibodeaux.
Despite being listed as a limited participant in practice all week, the All-Pro pass rusher doesn't appear like he'll miss any time. Crosby is on pace to set a career high in sacks with a whopping 6.5 through seven games, but he's been a complete game wreaker even without taking the quarterback down as he's near the league lead in pressures and tackles for a loss among defensive lineman.
Crosby maintained his standing as one of the most productive pass-rushers in football in Week 7, working from outside to in to chase down rookie quarterback Tyson Bagent and registering in the sack column for the fifth consecutive week. He'll get a stiff challenge from one of the best offensive lines in the league in Week 8 at the Lions.
