Cowboys Pass on Maxx Crosby, Stick to Draft Plan

The Las Vegas Raiders traded their star-edged Russia Max Crosby to the Baltimore Ravens on Friday night for two first round draft picks over the next. Two years. The Dallas Cowboys were deep in talks to land him but ultimately passed, refusing to match that price. Dallas pushed hard with an offer that included the 12 overall pick this year, next year's second round pick, and a key player. That would have been their biggest trade hall in years, but they drew a firm line at giving up multiple first rounders. Fans feel some let down, similar to past misses on players like Earl Thomas and Jamal Adams, but this time is different. The Cowboys weren't cheap, they just stuck to their plan, especially after trading Michael Parsons who outperformed Crosby recently for the same two firsts. Crosby is older, so matching that deal wouldn't make sense. It showed the team set their limits up front and worked every angle without crossing them.

1:02Even when the Ravens topped the bid, Dallas held steady. This discipline lines up with their head coach's approach, a shift from past years when owners chased big names and ignored the plan. It's a strong sign the organization is running smoother now. The Daily News Now is grateful to our sponsor for today's episode.
