The Dallas Cowboys consistently find themselves in the middle of significant trade rumors regarding game-changing contributors.
The storied NFC franchise has a history of attracting high-level talent, making it a popular landing spot for players seeking a fresh start.
While it may not materialize, a recent trade rumor involving the Cowboys and Las Vegas Raiders could lead to a monster deal between the two organizations.
"We’re pretty far down the road relative to what our plans are," Cowboys owner Jerry Jones told the Associated Press’ Schuyler Dixon on Thursday regarding a potential trade for Maxx Crosby. "So while I don’t anticipate it, I don’t want to rule anything out."
Again, it might be unlikely, but there’s no guarantee the Cowboys will avoid Crosby on the trade market.
The five-time Pro Bowl edge rusher appeared destined to join the Baltimore Ravens this offseason before a failed physical/health concerns motivated the franchise to back out of the deal on Tuesday night (the trade would have sent two first-round picks to the Raiders for Crosby).
It’s possible that the Cowboys could have similar concerns, considering that a torn meniscus isn’t an injury to treat lightly.
That said, a relentless pass rusher like Crosby (he recorded 10 sacks and two forced fumbles last season) would instantly elevate Dallas’ pass rush in 2026-27, which could motivate them to enter their name into the Crosby sweepstakes.
At the end of the day, it’ll all depend on whether Jones and the Cowboys will be willing to meet the Raiders’ hefty asking price for Crosby (two first-round picks).
