Cowboys linked to trade for Raiders star defender Maxx Crosby
Summary

The Dallas Cowboys are considering a trade for Las Vegas Raiders defender Maxx Crosby as their pass-rushing situation remains a concern heading into the 2026-27 NFL season. ESPN's Dan Graziano suggested that Crosby, who has a fully guaranteed $29 million salary for 2027, could be an impactful addition if a team needs an edge rusher. Several teams, including the Cowboys, Buffalo Bills, Chicago Bears, and New England Patriots, have shown interest. With less than 40 sacks last season, these teams are in the market for strong defensive talent. A potential trade may not happen immediately but is viewed as a possibility ahead of the in-season deadline.
