A proposed trade between the Las Vegas Raiders and the Dallas Cowboys suggests sending Maxx Crosby to Dallas in exchange for George Pickens and a first-round pick. Crosby, a five-time Pro Bowler, is a key player for the Raiders, while Pickens enjoyed a breakout year with 93 catches for 1,429 yards. Concerns arise for the Raiders regarding losing Crosby's defensive prowess, and Dallas faces questions due to recent defensive investments. Amid this chatter, a medical assessment may hinder negotiations, as Dallas reportedly withdrew interest after reviewing Crosby's knee issues earlier this offseason.
