Bruce Irvin's four-year deal with the Oakland Raiders is worth $37 million
Bruce Irvin is getting top-10 linebacker money to join the Oakland Raiders.
The deal Irvin agreed to late Tuesday is for four years and $37 million, including $12.5 million in the first year, according to details obtained by Paste BN Sports.
The deal maxes out at $39 million if Irvin hits Pro Bowl incentives each year.
Irvin, 28, also was believed to have strong interest from the Arizona Cardinals, who faced him twice a year in the NFC West with the Seattle Seahawks since he entered the league in 2012. He has 22 sacks in four seasons.
It’s the second splash in advance of the 4 p.m. Wednesday launch of the league year by the Raiders, who also have agreed to a five-year, $58.5 million deal with former Baltimore Raven Kelechi Osemele that makes him by far the NFL’s highest-paid guard.
