"Maxx Crosby will not only cost one or two first round picks in a trade, his contract would cost the Cowboys $35.5 million a year. Trey Hendrickson won't cost the Cowboys any draft picks. However, his projected contract value is looking to be around $25 million a year. Odafe Oweh and Boye Mafe looked to be projected at around $19 million and $8-12 million."
"If the Cowboys found a way to trade for Crosby, we would see the Cowboys pay about $16 million more per season than Oweh and over $20 million more than Mafe. If you look at the long game, over a three-year span, that could be the difference between $50-70 million more spent on one player."
"Odafe Oweh is fast off the edge. He is also big, long, and when he gets a step on the offensive tackle he can cause issues. His athletic ability is ridiculous. This young man is 6'5" and 251 pounds. He also reportedly had a 40 time sitting around 4.4 on his Pro Day at Penn State."
The Dallas Cowboys face a decision between pursuing expensive elite pass rushers or investing in younger, cheaper alternatives. Maxx Crosby would require multiple first-round draft picks plus $35.5 million annually, while Trey Hendrickson commands approximately $25 million per year in free agency. Conversely, Odafe Oweh and Boye Mafe project at $19 million and $8-12 million respectively, delivering similar production at substantially lower costs. Over three years, the savings could reach $50-70 million by choosing the younger players. Oweh particularly stands out as a 6'5", 251-pound athlete with elite speed and length who hasn't yet reached his ceiling as a pass rusher, making him an intriguing long-term investment.
