Cowboys Not Expected To Re-Engage Maxx Crosby Trade Talks

According to Dianna Russini, the Cowboys are not expected to re-engage trade discussions for Maxx Crosby after his trade to the Ravens fell through. 

Dallas was originally in the running for Crosby before the Raiders sent him to Baltimore, but they have made several moves since the news broke. 

Crosby did not pass his physical for Baltimore on Tuesday, sending him back to the Raiders. 

Las Vegas agreed to trade Crosby to the Ravens for two first-round picks. However, deals are pending physicals and Crosby underwent surgery in early January to address a left meniscus injury he suffered during the 2026 season.

Albert Breer reported that over a quarter of the league (eight teams) had shown varying degrees of interest in trading for Crosby including the Bills, Bears and Cowboys, along with the Ravens of course. 

Crosby, 28, is a former fourth-round pick of the Raiders back in 2019 out of Eastern Michigan University. He was entering the final year of his four-year, $3,302,264 contract that included a $782,264 signing bonus and was set to make a base salary of $850,000 when he signed a four-year, $98.98 million contract extension with over $53 million guaranteed. 

Crosby was due base salaries of $22.236 million and $18.84 million in the final two years of the deal when he signed a three-year, $106.5 million extension in March 2025.

In 2025, Crosby appeared in 15 games for the Raiders and recorded 73 tackles, 28 tackles for loss, 10 sacks, one interception, six pass defenses, and two forced fumbles.
