Cowboys one of 4 teams that offered 'pennies on the dollar' for Crosby
The Cowboys weren't close to the offer that initially sent the star edge rusher to Baltimore.
In the midst of the NFL regular season, ESPN reignited speculation about potential offseason trades, focusing on Las Vegas Raiders edge rusher Maxx Crosby. Following a failed physical that prevented his trade to the Baltimore Ravens for two first-round picks, Crosby declared his intention to forgo trade discussions and reaffirm his commitment to the Raiders.
This pledge was not merely empty rhetoric, as Crosby reportedly communicated to the Los Angeles Rams and the Dallas Cowboys to cease their pursuit of him. Although other teams expressed interest, none offered significant value, as sources indicated teams were only willing to pay "pennies on the dollar" for Crosby, a deal that was deemed unacceptable.
The Los Angeles Rams, known for their willingness to make large offers, were the most aggressive in their pursuit of Crosby, while the Eagles, Cowboys, and 49ers also maintained interest during this period. As a result of Crosby's initial move to the Ravens, the Cowboys redirected their focus and traded a future fourth-round pick to the Green Bay Packers for defensive end Rashan Gary. Meanwhile, the Rams shifted their attention towards Cleveland's Myles Garrett.
