Dreaming of Mad Maxx? Dallas Eyes a Defensive Revolution
The NFL offseason is upon us, with the Seattle Seahawks recently clinching victory over the New England Patriots in the Super Bowl. As teams gear up for the next season, trade rumors are heating up, and the Dallas Cowboys find themselves at the center of many.
In a recent piece, there's a tantalizing proposition for Cowboys fans: a trade for Raiders' superstar Maxx Crosby. This isn't just a pipe dream-it's a potential game-changer for Dallas.
The idea is straightforward yet ambitious. Dallas could package one of their two early first-round picks in the 2026 draft to kickstart discussions with the Raiders.
The goal? To add Crosby to a defensive front that already includes stalwarts like Quinnen Williams and Kenny Clark.
Such a move could elevate the Cowboys' defense to a new level of dominance.
Last season, Dallas struggled defensively, giving up the most points and passing yards. While the draft could bolster their secondary, the addition of Crosby would provide an immediate impact. Known for his relentless motor and versatility, Crosby, standing at 6'5" and 255 pounds, is a perfect fit for new coordinator Christian Parker's "Multiple 3-4" scheme.
Crosby's credentials speak for themselves. A five-time Pro Bowler, he racked up 10 sacks and 73 total tackles last season. He was a force to be reckoned with, nearly leading the league in tackles for loss with 28, if not for Myles Garrett's stellar performance.
There's been a whirlwind of speculation linking Crosby to Dallas, with reports suggesting the Cowboys had inquired about him previously. While formal talks might not have happened, the possibility remains a thrilling prospect for fans.
For the Cowboys, who are coming off a lackluster 2025 season, this kind of bold move could be the catalyst for transforming them from contenders to genuine NFC title threats. Adding a player of Crosby's caliber could be the spark Dallas needs to reignite their championship aspirations.
