Report Says Cowboys Asked Raiders About Maxx Crosby as Trade Deadline Nears

Any pursuit faces a high asking price plus cap challenges under a contract that runs through 2029.

Overview

  • The inquiry was first reported by Trey Wingo as an exploratory check with no formal offer, with the NFL trade deadline on November 4.
  • Clarence Hill Jr., a Cowboys insider, says the team has not contacted Las Vegas about Crosby, leaving the status of talks uncertain.
  • Jerry Jones has signaled openness to defensive upgrades, and Adam Schefter says Dallas is having conversations, buoyed by extra first-round picks from the Micah Parsons trade.
  • Las Vegas is 2-5 after a 31-0 loss to the Chiefs, prompting sell-mode speculation that could influence whether the Raiders entertain offers for their star edge rusher.
  • Crosby, 28, is signed through 2029 after a three-year, $106.5 million extension, and analysts expect any deal to require significant draft capital and careful cap planning.
