Cowboys consider trade sending Pickens to Raiders for Maxx Crosby

Summary

Dallas Cowboys insider Bryan Broaddus proposed a trade idea that would send wide receiver George Pickens and a first-round pick to the Las Vegas Raiders in exchange for defensive star Maxx Crosby. The Cowboys finished last season ranked 30th in total yards allowed, highlighting a need to improve their struggling defense. Crosby, a five-time Pro Bowler, tallied 10 sacks and 28 tackles for loss last season. Despite speculation around his potential trade, he remains with the Raiders for now. Should the Cowboys pursue this trade, they may risk losing a valuable asset in Pickens, who had a breakout year with 93 catches and over 1,400 yards.
