The Las Vegas Raiders got ahead of the curve when they extended superstar edge rusher Maxx Crosby earlier this offseason. Since Crosby signed his deal, the market for edge rushers has climbed to $47 million, meaning the team saved almost $12 million by striking a deal early.
While the new regime in Las Vegas did the same thing with punter A.J. Cole, they dragged their feet a bit with left tackle Kolton Miller. They ultimately struck a fair enough deal with Miller, but the same cannot be said about wide receiver Jakobi Meyers.
Meyers has been wanting a contract extension all offseason, but talks have apparently stalled.
