While all indications are the Raiders are not in a rush to give Derek Carr a new deal — and no contract talks have occurred as of yet — they are making Pro Bowl pass rusher Maxx Crosby a priority. This is according to Vic Tafur of The Athletic.
This is a very wise approach by the Raiders’ new GM Dave Ziegler and new head coach Josh McDaniels. Crosby is entering his prime as one of the league’s premier pass rushers, he will be paid like one.
Raiders fans probably recall the last time the Raiders got a new head coach and the high profile pass rusher who was in line for an extension at that time. That new head coach, of course, was Jon Gruden, and the player was All Pro Khalil Mack.
