Jerry Jones and Cowboys may pursue Maxx Crosby if Raiders struggle
Summary

The Dallas Cowboys, led by owner Jerry Jones, are considering a trade for Las Vegas Raiders star Maxx Crosby if the Raiders fall from playoff contention. Previously, the Cowboys made several trade offers for Crosby, but concerns during a physical halted the deal. ESPN's Dan Graziano suggests teams like the Cowboys may re-engage if Crosby becomes available, particularly if they are in playoff contention. The outcome will depend largely on the Raiders' performance this season.
