Cowboys, Lions Issued Firm Trade Message on Raiders’ Maxx Crosby
Dallas and Detroit have been told the same thing — Go get Maxx Crosby.
With Las Vegas on a 4-game losing streak at 3-4 and trade deadline Nov 10 approaching, speculation around Crosby is heating again, per Heavy.com.
For Cowboys: Former NFL CB Aqib Talib issued direct call in Oct 31 Gridiron video — “Go get Maxx Crosby. For the defense, he’ll bring energy and revitalize the team. As bad as things are right now, you bring in Porter, you bring in Crosby, and it’ll kind of hit a reset button. He’s going to help you in both aspects… quietly having a great season. Cowboys are in win-now window… NFC East might not ever be this bad again. Go all in right now.”
For Lions: Former OL Lomas Brown wants Crosby home in Michigan — “Come home, Maxx. I’ve been talking to your mom, a friend of program. Come on home… You and Aidan [Hutchinson]. Who’s stopping that?” said in Oct 31 Woodward Sports video.
Reality check: ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler said Oct 30 “I was told Crosby does not at all want to be traded. He wants to be there in Vegas, loves Klint Kubiak… I’d be surprised if they moved Crosby.” Tom Pelissero Sat morning added “Maxx Crosby wants to be a Raider, has no desire to leave, not forcing way out. But GM John Spytek is sure to get calls over next 10 days, leaving open possibility of another blockbuster.”
Crosby stats this season: 412 snaps, 86.2 PFF grade, 37 pressures, 3 sacks, 21 hurries, 13 QB hits.
If Raiders were to consider deal, price would be similar to Jeffery Simmons package Bears gave — two first-rounders. FanSided’s Zachary Rotman proposed Dallas sending 2027 1st (via Packers), 2027 4th (via Steelers), 2029 2nd, and LB Malachi Lawrence for Crosby.
