“If programs like ours are duplicated across the country, we could help millions of Americans access essential abortion care — without relying on taxpayer dollars,” said Del. Lesley Lopez, a Democrat from Maryland’s Montgomery County, in the suburbs of the nation’s capital.
That high-octane attitude is why Crosby went from a fourth-round draft pick out of Eastern Michigan in 2019 to quickly become a dominant pass rusher. His 52 sacks between that season and 2023 were the league’s fifth-highest total.He also led the NFL in tackles for loss with 22 in 2022 and 23 a year later.
Then came last season and the early season injury against the Ravens. Crosby tried to play through the pain as he often did with other injuries, but this one was different. The player who seldom came off the field didn’t play at all two weeks later against Cleveland to end his 86-game playing streak.“Last year was definitely one of the hardest years of my life in general — so many things going on, battling injuries, not being able to be myself at times, I felt like,” Crosby said. “There’s no excuses. It’s tough. It’s part of the game, and that’s what comes with it.”Crosby has long said he wants to play for the Raiders his entire career, and the club showed him the feeling is mutual by signing him in March to a
worth $106.5 million, with $91.5 million guaranteed. That deal takes him through 2029.It was a record contract for a non-quarterback that since has been surpassed by three other players, according to overthecap.com, including ends Myles Garrett of Cleveland and Danielle Hunter of Houston. Cincinnati wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase is the other player.
In trying to meet the expectations of the new deal, Crosby will be playing for his third head coach in three years. Crosby has been onboard since Carroll’s hiring and was at the coach’s introductory news conference in January. Carroll even made the point at the presser to talk directly to Crosby.
“It’s a breath of fresh air,” Crosby said. “We’ve been having so much fun and getting better every single day, working our (butts) off. It’s been a hell of a journey so far.”Former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson was born in New York to British parents in 1964.
