Jay Glazer of Fox Sports believes that Crosby's haul will top what the Green Bay Packers handed Parsons before the 2025 season. Glazer even added what Crosby reportedly told him.
"I'm not going through another rebuild," Glazer said during his appearance with Yahoo Sports Wednesday at the Super Bowl.
Crosby once became won over by Pete Carroll and his vision — even agreeing to a $106.5 million extension to stay in Vegas back in March.
But now it appears Kubiak will have a hard time keeping the All-Pro.

Parsons received a whopping $188 million across four seasons when the Packers landed him. That blockbuster deal included an astonishing $46.5 million a year handed to the edge rusher.

Crosby will need to hit or top off at $47 million to reset the market.
But what NFL franchises can hand him that kind of amount? Especially ones needing pass rushing help?
The Tennessee Titans hold the best cap space as of Wednesday; sitting at $104.7 million according to Over the Cap. Renown defensive guru Robert Saleh is taking over in Nashville — the same coach who molded Nick Bosa with the San Francisco 49ers . However, Tennessee finds itself in a rebuild after firing Brian Callahan midseason.
Doubtful the Raiders would entertain a deal with the Los Angeles Chargers — which has the best space ($88.6 million) among this season's playoff teams. Except the Bolts will need to find a replacement for aging veteran Khalil Mack .

The NFC champion Seattle Seahawks look even more enticing with more than $73 million available. Even the Los Angeles Rams could get bold and attempt to lure Crosby in with more than $48 million at their current disposal. But that'll mean pivoting back to trading draft picks to create room for Crosby.
