After the team\u2019s blowout loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, there was a lot of speculation that the Raiders would start trading away veterans to accumulate draft picks and focus on a rebuild.<\/p>\n<p>However, the team decided against making any significant changes. One big rumor that surfaced was that the Dallas Cowboys were interested in trading for star defensive end Maxx Crosby. He\u2019s the Raiders\u2019 most valuable asset right now, so they likely could\u2019ve gotten at least two first-round picks if they dealt him.<\/p>\n<p>Las Vegas came out and made it clear that they weren\u2019t trading him, and Crosby\u2019s camp leaked out that he didn\u2019t want to get traded. Crosby is loyal to the Raiders, but some people don\u2019t think that\u2019s wise.<\/p>\n<p>Former MVP quarterback Cam Newton questioned why Crosby would want to stay in Las Vegas when he could join a potential playoff team like the Cowboys.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut understand, even in the offseason, Maxx Crosby has made it abundantly clear that he wants to do what? Win,\u201d Newton said on ESPN\u2019s \u201cFirst Take.\u201d \u201cSo now, he\u2019s not going to win in Vegas because now you have another situation that keeps constantly coming up: \u2018Why am I not in the playoffs?\u2019<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOK, now you have an opportunity to get traded to a team that is potentially what you are looking for.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Is Crosby Making a Mistake Being Loyal to Raiders?<\/h2>\n<p>Crosby has said in the past that he\u2019d like to be a Raider for life. Though the team hasn\u2019t won much during his time with them, they\u2019ve always taken care of him from a contractual standpoint.<\/p>\n<p>Owner Mark Davis loves Crosby, and it\u2019d take a lot to convince him to approve any trade. That said, the star defensive end could apply pressure and request a trade. If that were to happen, Davis would have to at least consider his options.<\/p>\n<p>For now, it sounds like Crosby will stay put, but it could be an interesting offseason if the Raiders continue to play poorly this season.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Cowboys Not Close to Any Deals<\/h2>\n<p>Even at 3-3-1, the Cowboys have been much better than anybody expected. The offense has been elite and arguably the best in the NFL.<\/p>\n<p>The problem for them is that the defense is a mess. They had a star pass rusher, Micah Parsons, whom they decided to trade away. Perhaps they\u2019re realizing now that keeping Parsons might have been what they needed to be contenders.<\/p>\n<p>The Cowboys do sound keen on trading for a pass rusher, but owner Jerry Jones doesn\u2019t seem confident that a deal will happen.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere hasn\u2019t been anything close to a deal,\u201d Jones said on 105.3 The Fan. \u201cWe\u2019re looking at all phases of our roster. \u2026 I don\u2019t know if we will or not (make a trade). \u2026 I can tell you this right now, there is not a trade in my mind, the beginning and end of one, as we sit here and talk \u2026 that I would do.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Austin Boyd has covered the Las Vegas Raiders and Los Angeles Lakers for Heavy.com since 2019.
