Despite no official football activity occurring until March 23, speculation surrounding Dallas has intensified, fueled by roster needs, cap maneuvering, and the possibility of franchise-shifting trades.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"948\" data-end=\"1259\">One name sits above all others in these conversations: <strong data-start=\"1003\" data-end=\"1044\"><span class=\"hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline\"><span class=\"whitespace-normal\">Maxx Crosby<\/span><\/span><\/strong>. The star pass rusher has been loosely connected to Dallas for weeks, and although no formal negotiations have taken place, the hypothetical cost \u2014 and the ripple effects \u2014 have become the talk of Cowboys Nation.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"1261\" data-end=\"1358\"><strong data-start=\"1265\" data-end=\"1358\">Is a Maxx Crosby Trade to Dallas Even Possible?

Although a coaching overhaul in Las Vegas may ease some tensions, his long-term future remains uncertain.

The idea would be to structure a deal without surrendering their 2027 first-rounder, though that\u2019s where the complication arises.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"2500\" data-end=\"2571\"><strong data-start=\"2504\" data-end=\"2571\">Raiders Reportedly Want a Micah Parsons-Level Package \u2014 Or More<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"2573\" data-end=\"2751\">In the same feature, Moton flips perspectives, suggesting that the Raiders would demand a return comparable to (or exceeding) the haul they used to acquire Parsons from Dallas:<\/p>\n<ul data-start=\"2752\" data-end=\"2848\">\n<li data-start=\"2752\" data-end=\"2777\">\n<p data-start=\"2754\" data-end=\"2777\">Two first-round picks<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"2778\" data-end=\"2848\">\n<p data-start=\"2780\" data-end=\"2848\">Veteran defensive tackle <strong data-start=\"2805\" data-end=\"2846\"><span class=\"hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline\"><span class=\"whitespace-normal\">Kenny Clark<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-start=\"2850\" data-end=\"3125\">Fox Sports insider <strong data-start=\"2869\" data-end=\"2910\"><span class=\"hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline\"><span class=\"whitespace-normal\">Jay Glazer<\/span><\/span><\/strong> previously hinted that Las Vegas believes Crosby could command <em data-start=\"2974\" data-end=\"2980\">more<\/em> than the Parsons package due to his durability, leadership, and reputation as one of the most relentless motor-driven defenders in the league.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3127\" data-end=\"3425\">With Crosby now 28 and still playing at a high level, the Raiders would hold significant leverage in negotiations.
