The Las Vegas Raiders had a lot of money to work with this offseason-some of the most in the entire NFL. They used that wisely, improving their defense in several areas, and the offensive line. But how were they able to do that when you have a superstar on your team like Maxx Crosby?
Well, it's simply, really. They didn't have a quarterback they were paying an insane amount of money to. Let me rephrase that-they didn't have an elite quarterback on their roster that they were paying money to.
They did, though, have one of the best contracts in the NFL in that room. And now they have two of the best valued contracts in the NFL, both of them in that room. .
