Cowboys weigh potential trade for Las Vegas Raiders defensive end Maxx Crosby
Summary

The Dallas Cowboys could revisit trade interest in Las Vegas Raiders edge defender Maxx Crosby as the 2026 season progresses. Although the Raiders previously considered a deal involving Crosby with the Baltimore Ravens, that transaction stalled following a failed physical designation. Bleacher Report recently proposed a hypothetical scenario where Dallas acquires Crosby in exchange for Rashan Gary and two future first-round draft picks. The Raiders reportedly remain content with their current roster, but could choose to move the 29-year-old player if they struggle to remain competitive by late October. Acquiring Crosby would align with a win-now approach for the Dallas front office, providing the team with a veteran pass rusher to supplement their offensive core. Meanwhile, Las Vegas faces a potential defensive void unless players like Kwity Paye, Patrick Johnson, and Keyron Crawford can fill the production gap left by such a significant departure.
