Cowboys in trade talks
The Dallas Cowboys are reportedly in trade discussions for Raiders star Maxx Crosby, but his high price is a hurdle.
Crosby's current contract could be a sticking point, as he signed a four-year, $94 million extension with the Raiders in 2022. That's a significant cap hit for any team considering a trade. The Cowboys may need to restructure contracts or offload other players to make room for Crosby's salary. Dallas has several key players nearing free agency, so tough choices are looming regardless. The Raiders might be willing to negotiate, especially if they're focusing on a rebuild. New Raiders leadership could be prioritizing draft picks and younger, cheaper talent.
