Cowboys pursue Maxx Crosby in potential trade after Week 5 performance
Summary

The Dallas Cowboys are reportedly looking to acquire Maxx Crosby from the Las Vegas Raiders following a disappointing Week 5 showing against the Buccaneers. The team's defense has faced significant criticism after allowing an undrafted rookie quarterback to dominate them in a 3-1 start to the season. Amid calls for drastic changes, Mavericks executives suggested offering two first-round picks to secure Crosby, who has local ties to Dallas. As the Raiders embark on a rebuilding process, a trade involving Crosby could be on the table as the Cowboys seek to bolster their struggling defense.
