Cowboys Eye Raiders Star Crosby in Trade Rumors
29 Oct
Summary
- Raiders' Maxx Crosby is a rumored trade target for the Cowboys.
- Analyst Mark Schlereth favors Crosby over receiver George Pickens.
- Jerry Jones is expected to be active at the trade deadline.

Amidst the Las Vegas Raiders' current 3-4 record and a four-game losing streak, speculation about a potential trade involving star defensive player Maxx Crosby has resurfaced. The Dallas Cowboys have emerged as a potential destination, with discussions focusing on whether they could assemble a compelling package for Crosby.
Former NFL offensive lineman Mark Schlereth voiced his strong endorsement for such a trade, stating he would pursue it "in a heartbeat." Schlereth contrasted Crosby's consistent high motor and leadership with the occasional inconsistency of receiver George Pickens, whom he deemed less valuable in a hypothetical trade scenario.
NFL reporter Jane Slater suggests that Cowboys owner Jerry Jones is likely to be active before the trade deadline. Slater believes Jones is "all in" and recognizes a talent disparity that he aims to address, particularly by enhancing the team's pass rush, signaling a potential move for Crosby.
Trade proposals have also been put forth, with one idea from FanSided detailing a package from Dallas that includes multiple future draft picks and linebacker Malachi Lawrence. While acknowledging the significant cost for the Cowboys, the proposal highlights Crosby's potential to be the difference-maker the team seeks.
