Cowboys Shelve Crosby Trade, Field Offers
The Dallas Cowboys will not pursue a trade for Maxx Crosby due to medical concerns, and are fielding calls for DT Osa Odighizuwa.
The Cowboys' medical staff reportedly flagged something in Crosby's history, making the trade too risky despite his obvious talent. This suggests Dallas is prioritizing long-term player health over immediate impact, a common strategy for teams with established cores. Odighizuwa's availability could signal a shift in the Cowboys' defensive line strategy. Perhaps they're aiming to get younger or cheaper at the position, or maybe they simply value the incoming draft capital more. Dallas fielding offers for Odighizuwa might indicate confidence in Neville Gallimore and Chauncey Golston, who are expected to step up. It could also mean they are looking to free up cap space for other moves.
