Dallas Cowboys' final trade offer for Maxx Crosby has leaked, and it's massive

The Maxx Crosby trade saga became one of the hottest topics in the NFL until the Baltimore Ravens agreed to send two first-round picks to the Las Vegas Raiders for the star defensive end. Baltimore backed out of the trade due to a “medical issue,” but fans and other general managers around the league couldn’t understand why.

Before the Ravens pulled the trigger, several teams were linked with the five-time Pro Bowler. The New England Patriots, Philadelphia Eagles and the Dallas Cowboys had an interest in the defensive star. The Cowboys tried hard to land him, but their efforts weren’t fruitful.

According to Jeremy Fowler (via Football Forever on X), the Cowboys made a total of three offers for Crosby.

The final one included this year’s No. 12 pick and a future second-round pick. Baltimore didn’t entertain a single one.

The Cowboys made three offers for Raiders star DE Maxx Crosby, and the final one included pick No. 12 and a future second-round pick, per Jeremy Fowler.

"Initial offers centered on Dallas' second first-round pick at No. 20, and defensive tackle Osa Odighizuwa. The Cowboys then offered their top first-rounder at No. 12 and a third-round pick. Ultimately, the Cowboys moved to No. 12 and their second-round pick, but the last two offers, sources said, did not include Odighizuwa, who was traded to the San Francisco 49ers for a third-round selection," per ESPN.

Jerry Jones doesn’t rule out going after Maxx Crosby

A couple of days after the Ravens called off the trade with the Raiders, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones declined to rule out a potential pursuit of Crosby.

“We’re pretty far down the road relative to what our plans are,” Jones said. “So while I don’t anticipate it, I don’t want to rule anything out.”

The Cowboys have had a busy offseason, making moves to improve their defense. Adding Crosby would have taken them to another level, but they don’t seem like favorites to land him now.
