Cowboys Miss Out on Crosby, Target Hendrickson

0:00On March 7th, the Las Vegas Raiders traded star-edged rusher Max Crosby to the Baltimore Ravens after he made clear he wanted out. The Dallas Cowboys pushed hard to land him, but wouldn't match the Ravens' offer of two first-round picks. Dallas saw Crosby as a perfect fit to return to his home state of Texas, especially with their urgent need at Edge rusher. They stayed competitive until the end, but drew a firm wine on the price. Last season's defense ranked among the NFL's worst, leaving fans eager for upgrades. The failed bit stung, yet many see it as a smart move to avoid overpaying. Free agency opens Monday, with the legal tampering window starting soon after. The Cowboys now target Bengals' pass rusher, Trey Hendrickson, and could pursue Viking standout, Jonathan Greenard. Under new defensive coordinator, Christian Parker, Dallas plans a shift to a 3-4 front in 2026, setting the stage for more moves to rebuild that unit.
