Cowboys Target Trey Hendrickson, Pass on Maxx Crosby

0:00For NFL coverage, this is your March 6 update. The Dallas Cowboys are still hunting for a top pass rusher after a deal for Las Vegas Raiders star, Max Crosby, fell apart. They thought they were close last night, but pulled back when the Raiders demanded two first round draft picks plus a player. Now the team is turning its attention to Cincinnati Bangle standout, Trey Hendrickson, as a prime free agent target this offseason. Earlier this week, reports show the Cowboys were hot on Crosby's trail, but owner Jerry Jones drew a firm line at that steep price. The Raiders are shopping him around since he wants out, and teams like the Bears, Patriots, and Eagles are circling. Meanwhile, the Bangle did not put a franchise tag on Hendrickson, making him available without trade complications. Hendrickson brings serious credentials, with a breakout year in 2021 netting 14 sacks and a pro bow nod. He topped the league with 17.5 sacks in 2024, adding 46 tackles. A core muscle injury sidelined him for 10 gains last season, but he still posted four

The team eyed Hendrickson last year too, but traded for Quinn and Williams instead. Burning draft picks that now limit big moves. Landing him could spark a real turnaround. For now, the Cowboys hold two first rounders, and might still bid on Crosby of the price drops, though insiders doubt they'll go that high. Hendrickson feels like a smart pivot, and the race for defensive help stays wide open as free agency heats up. Appreciation to our sponsor for backing this episode.
