Maxx Crosby is a little lighter in the wallet.
And for a fourth-round draft pick, that's a big deal.
The Raiders rookie was fined $21,056 by the NFL for a hit on Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes last Sunday, a source told NBC Sports California's Scott Bair.
Raiders edge rusher Maxx Crosby was fined $21,056 for his hit on Patrick Mahomes, source said, where he was flagged for roughing the passer.
Crosby wasn't sure what he could've done to avoid a flag in that particular instance. I agree with him.— Scott Bair (@BairNBCS) September 21, 2019
"The (penalty) was tough," Crosby said Sunday. "I was just trying to make a play. I'm not really sure how to avoid something like that."

Crosby jumped up in an attempt to block Mahomes' pass and fell on the reigning MVP with all his weight. The referees didn't care and called Crosby for roughing the passer.

Considering Crosby's 2019 base salary is $495,000, a fine of $21,000 is no laughing matter for the No. 106 draft pick.
Crosby appeared on 29 of the Raiders' 68 defensive snaps against Mahomes and the Chiefs. The Eastern Michigan product recorded two total tackles.
