Raiders' Maxx Crosby Reportedly Won't Be Traded at Deadline amid Cowboys, NFL Rumors

Star defensive end Maxx Crosby will reportedly be sticking with the Las Vegas Raiders beyond the 2025 trade deadline.

According to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero, the Raiders met with Crosby on Tuesday to inform him that they weren't shopping him on the trade market and won't part ways with him.

Former ESPN anchor Trey Wingo reported earlier on Tuesday that the Dallas Cowboys made "inquiries" about a swap with Las Vegas involving Crosby.

The 28-year-old has spent his entire career with the Raiders after they selected him with a fourth-round pick in the 2019 NFL draft.

Crosby immediately stood out on Las Vegas' front seven before quickly blossoming into one of the league's top pass-rushers, earning Pro Bowl nods in each of the past four seasons.

The Raiders rewarded him for his efforts in March, handing him a hefty three-year extension worth $106.5 million that keeps him under contract through the 2029 season.

Crosby has followed it up with another impressive individual campaign in 2025, amassing 28 tackles and 10 tackles for loss to go along with four sacks in seven games. He's also racked up 25 pressures, according to Pro Football Focus.

Despite Crosby's recent extension, it's understandable that opposing front offices could be monitoring his availability considering Las Vegas' disappointing 2-5 record.

The Cowboys will be looking for defensive improvements after trading star pass-rusher Micah Parsons to the Green Bay Packers on Aug. 28. Dallas is giving up 401.6 yards per game this season, the most among all teams.

Crosby doesn't appear to be a legitimate option in a potential deal, though.

The NFL trade deadline is on Nov. 4 at 4 p.m. ET.
