Dallas Cowboys’ Final Offer for Maxx Crosby Trade Revealed
· Yahoo Sports
After years of trade rumors, Maxx Crosby finally got dealt from the Las Vegas Raiders, in exchange for two first-round picks. Reports leading up to the Ravens’ blockbuster trade for the five-time Pro Bowl pass-rusher suggested that the Raiders were holding out for an offer that included two first-round picks, targeting the ‘Micah Parsons’ deal. Many were skeptical.

Meanwhile, the Cowboys felt confident that they’d win the Crosby trade sweepstakes. They even “thought” they nearly had a trade completed for Crosby. However, when other teams rushed in with offers of two first-round picks, the Cowboys’ confidence waned.
So, what did the Cowboys offer the Raiders in exchange for Crosby?
According to ESPN’s NFL insider Jeremy Fowler, the Cowboys offered their first-round pick (No. 12 overall – two slots ahead of Baltimore’s offer), a future second-round pick (presumably in 2027), plus an unknown veteran player for Crosby. The Cowboys weren’t willing to part with two-first-round picks.
“Dallas kept a hard line throughout. The franchise wasn’t willing to part with two first-round picks, hoping its 12th pick in April’s draft, plus a future second-rounder, would be enough to entice Las Vegas. Dallas was also willing to package a veteran player to sweeten the deal, but Vegas wasn’t interested in that. The Raiders prioritized picks.”

Obviously, the Raiders refused, believing they had a better offer from Baltimore. Unless that veteran player was an impact starter, we’d argue that Las Vegas did indeed accept a better offer from the Ravens.
Despite the Cowboys reportedly “eying Crosby for a long time” and “loving” him, they determined he just wasn’t worth trading two first-round picks for. The Ravens felt otherwise.
