Cowboys Lose Maxx Crosby, Target Trey Hendrickson

0:00On March 7th, the Las Vegas Raiders agreed to trade star-pass rusher Max Crosby to the Baltimore Ravens for two first-round draft picks. The Dallas Cowboys chased the deal hard, offering a first-round pick in a second-rounder plus possibly more, but Las Vegas picked Baltimore's package. This thing's extra for Dallas after last off-season's trade of Michael Parsons to the Green Bay Packers. Their defense sank to 30th in the league, contributing to a disappointing 7-9-1 finish, despite a strong offense that ranked second. Overall, team owner Jerry Jones knows the past rush needs a major boost after tying for the 5th fewest sacks last year. Fans hoped Crosby would fill the void left by Parsons, but now the focus shifts elsewhere. Reports pointed Dallas targeting Trey Hendrickson from the Cincinnati Bengals as he hits free agency this Wednesday. The 31-year-old could land a three-year deal around $97,500,000, bringing his proven talent without, costing draft picks.
