"Addressing the pass rush in free agency appears to be a top priority. On Thursday there was a report that the Cowboys had checked in on Las Vegas Raiders pass rusher Maxx Crosby. "Checking in" is standard protocol and good for the Cowboys for having done so, but it seems like he may go for more than they are willing to pay."
"Crosby could only become a Cowboy right now by way of trade and that stipulation does not apply to Trey Hendrickson. A former NFL sack leader, Hendrickson is set to hit the open market, and according to Trey Wingo the Cowboys are set to pursue him if they do not land Crosby as noted."
"Having to "settle" for Hendrickson would hardly be a consolation prize. The Cowboys very clearly need to improve their defensive front and if they are able to land a player of this caliber without having to spend any resources in a trade that would be viewed as quite the victory."
The Dallas Cowboys are actively seeking to improve their pass rush through free agency and trades. The team checked in on Las Vegas Raiders pass rusher Maxx Crosby, though acquiring him would require a trade and potentially exceed their budget. Alternatively, Trey Hendrickson, a former NFL sack leader, is entering free agency and represents an opportunity for the Cowboys to add defensive talent without trading draft capital. The Cowboys previously pursued both players before last season's deadline but instead acquired Quinnen Williams, a deal that consumed resources. Strengthening the defensive front is identified as a critical need for the franchise.
