Maxx Crosby, a two-time All-Pro pass rusher, reportedly left the Raiders' facility after disagreeing with the team's plan to sit him for the final two games of the 2025 season. The Raiders sit at 2-13, and the incident has prompted internal questions about Crosby's future in Las Vegas. Dallas previously showed interest but acquired Quinnen Williams instead while holding multiple first-round picks. The Cowboys currently have limited long-term pass-rush depth beyond Donovan Ezeiruaku and James Houston, with several veterans set to hit free agency. Any trade consideration will hinge on roster fit, salary, and compensation logistics.
