Did the Cowboys trade for Maxx Crosby?
No, the Cowboys did not trade for Maxx Crosby.
A fake tweet from the satirical account NFL Drop has fooled a lot of people:
As of Saturday night, that post had more than 100,000 views on X.
Crosby is a superstar pass rusher, and the Raiders’ season is going down the drain.
But Vegas has a lot of money still committed to Crosby, and it’d be odd for them to trade him now.

The Cowboys surely wouldn’t mind making a splash, but it seems unlikely that it’d be with Crosby.
If any big name defensive end moves before the Nov. 4 NFL trade deadline, it’s likely Bengals star Trey Hendrickson. There may be a fake trade post out there about him before too long.
