Dallas Cowboys’ insider says Maxx Crosby trade rumor isn’t dead

Earlier this week, a rumor dropped that the Dallas Cowboys were interested in trading for All-Pro defensive end Maxx Crosby. There were even reports that they had contacted the Las Vegas Raiders to initiate trade talks.

Almost as quickly as the rumor emerged, conflicting reports said there was nothing to the rumors and that Dallas has not contacted Las Vegas. As for the Raiders, they were said to have no interest in trading Crosby and told him as much.

That made this trade seem dead in the water, but that might not be the case says Cowboys’ insider Bryan Broaddus. He believes Dallas is actively looking to improve at the NFL trade deadline and doesn’t believe the Crosby trade is dead.

“There’s those like Jane Slater and others that have kind of, Tom Pelissero, they’ve kind of thrown ‘The well you know, we’re, it’s not really the Raiders are talking to him. They really don’t want to trade,” Broaddus said.

“We heard the same thing from Stephen Jones. We were standing there, myself at Nobu when Stephen Jones said ‘no, I’m not going to trade Micah Parsons. He said that. He said ‘No, I, there’s no reason. I’m not going to do this. I don’t think this is dead, I really don’t. It got out, it spread very quickly, and now you’ve the parties involved trying to kind of dampen the fire a little.”
