The Cowboys have two first-rounders, so they could part with one and sweeten the deal with a couple of thirds.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAssuming Crosby&#8217;s knee isn&#8217;t ravaged, it\u2019s worth the risk for a team desperate to make a Super Bowl run, because adding Crosby would give the Cowboys one of the best defensive fronts in the league.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Cowboys would undoubtedly hit the jackpot by landing Crosby. The polished and instinctual 28-year-old edge rusher would help Dallas generate immense pressure on opposing quarterbacks and change the narrative surrounding their pass-rushing attack.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The thing is, the Raiders aren\u2019t jumping up and down at the thought of trading for Crosby after their unsuccessful deal with the Baltimore Ravens in March, which would complicate a potential trade with the Cowboys.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Still, Dallas should keep Crosby on its radar until Las Vegas officially puts the kibosh on a transaction with the five-time Super Bowl champions, or any other franchise.<\/p>\n<p>More NFL:\u00a0<a target=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sportingnews.com\/us\/nfl\/tennessee-titans\/news\/titans-blockbuster-trade-idea-reunites-tennessee-96-million-three-time-all-pro-wr\/e9d9446f20680496643c0b36\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Titans blockbuster trade idea reunites Tennessee with $96 million three-time All-Pro WR<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Dallas Cowboys could make things interesting on the offseason trade market with one mind-blowing move.
