Schefter added some details which includes an interesting comparison between Crosby and Cleveland Browns defensive star Myles Garrett, posting on X, “AFC North adds to its pass rusher repertoire: Since 2019, Maxx Crosby has 360 pressures in his career, 29 more than the next closest player, Myles Garrett, via @EpKap. Now both are in the same division.”
This also marks the first time in Ravens history that they have used a first-round pick in a trade for a player, making it all the more of a noteworthy deal for Baltimore and new head coach Jesse Minter.
As for Crosby’s contract details, according to Spotrac, “Maxx Crosby signed a 3-year, $106,500,000 contract with the Las Vegas Raiders, including $91,500,000 guaranteed, and an average annual salary of $35,500,000.” Crosby is due to become an unrestricted free agent in 2030.
Upon signing his contract with the Raiders, Crosby received $62.5 million guaranteed that included his 2025 salary and 2026 salary. His $29 million 2027 salary will be fully guaranteed on the third league day of 2026, according to Spotrac. And that’s injury-guaranteed at the signing.

What are Crosby’s career earnings in his seven-year NFL career? Spotrac indicates that Crosby has career earnings totaling $96,383,395.
According to PFSN’s NFL Defense Impact metrics, which are measured through the regular season, the Raiders’ defense had an impact score of 70.9 and graded out to a C-, with Crosby missing the final two games of the season after he was shut down by the team due to a lingering knee injury.
