Pressure Builds On Dallas Cowboys To Trade For $106 Million Superstar Who Could Save Their Franchise

Pressure is growing on the Dallas Cowboys as talk intensifies about a possible big move for Raiders star Maxx Crosby. What once seemed unrealistic now feels more believable, especially after Dallas made the shocking decision to trade Micah Parsons earlier this season.
That trade stunned fans and analysts. It also gave owner Jerry Jones more draft picks and roster flexibility. With Crosby now showing frustration in Las Vegas, many around the league believe Dallas could take advantage of the situation.
Crosby recently had issues with the Raiders after the team decided to shut him down for the final two games. Fox Sports insider Jay Glazer reported that the decision did not go over well with the star pass rusher.“Crosby, who has played with injuries for much of the year, vehemently disagreed and has left the building,” Glazer wrote on X.
Cowboys Monitor Maxx Crosby Situation
Crosby has long spoken about loyalty to the Raiders, despite reaching the playoffs only once in seven seasons. Still, the latest situation raised real questions about his future. Raiders coach Pete Carroll gave an idea of what’s going on with Crosby. “He knows that he’s banged up,” Carroll said. “He said, ‘I’d like to get out of here,’ and I said, ‘Yeah, get out of here.’”
The Cowboys see both motive and means. Dallas gained two first-round picks in the Parsons trade with Green Bay. The team already used one of those picks to acquire Quinnen Williams. Sources around the league believe Dallas could package its own 2026 first-rounder with the Packers’ pick to start serious talks.
Local media voices continue to hype up. Zak Wolchuk of 105.3 The Fan asked on X, “Do the Cowboys draft this year or do they just go get Crosby?” Longtime reporter Mike Fisher added, “Let the Maxx Crosby to #Cowboys trade rumors begin!”
FanDuel even suggested a trade idea that would send two first-round picks to Las Vegas, with Dallas getting a third-round pick back. Joseph Hoyt of the Dallas Morning News said it in one line: “Two firsts, who says no?”
Crosby would likely welcome a move to Texas. He went to Colleyville Heritage High School near Dallas and still has strong ties to the area. He signed a three-year, $106 million contract in March, putting him among the highest-paid defenders in the league.
Las Vegas still sees Crosby as beneficial for its future. Still, frustration can change situations quickly in the NFL. If Dallas makes a serious push, Jerry Jones could once again force the league to rethink what seemed impossible.
