Crosby had two years left on the four-year, $94 million deal he signed in 2022 when his rookie deal was up. Now, with his new record-breaking extension, Crosby remains a cornerstone defensive piece for Las Vegas until 2030, when he’s set for unrestricted free agency.
Crosby posted a hype video to his X account after the team announced the move, saying he is "Committed To Excellence. Committed to Silver & Black. Limitless."
He also told Fox News Digital during Super Bowl LIX week in New Orleans about his excitement for the future under new head coach Pete Carroll, someone whose energy has already been infectious.
"For me, I’m an optimistic person. I want to be a winner, I want a chance to win," Crosby said. "From everything I’ve seen so far, it’s been encouraging. So, taking it one step at a time, and we’ll see how everything plays out. But I’m excited for the future, for sure."
