Dave Ziegler hasn’t been shying about giving out some long-term security to players who have earned it. As evidenced by the Las Vegas Raiders general manager’s contract extensions with both defensive end Maxx Crosby and quarterback Derek Carr, recently.
The stalwart pass rusher and signal caller put pen to paper on big-money deals (four-year, $94 million for Crosby, three-year, $120.5 million for Carr) to secure themselves both financially and roster-wise as Raiders.
The logical next man up to get extended is wide receiver Hunter Renfrow. A hard working, self-effusing player who has earned the trust of Carr and the coaching staff (previous, of course), Renfrow blossomed this past season by leading the Raiders in all major receiving categories posting an impressive 103-catch, 1,038-yard, nine-touchdown campaign.
