"Could it be a Maxx Crosby, for example?" 👀 @DangeRussWilson says the Cowboys should be aggressive at the trade deadlin Via @NFLonCBS on X

What happened: During a segment on CBS's SetHut, the desk called on the Dallas Cowboys to take an aggressive approach before the NFL trade deadline closes. The commentary specifically floated pass rusher Maxx Crosby as an example of the marquee addition Dallas should target.

Why it matters: The pitch revives earlier trade speculation linking the Cowboys and Maxx Crosby as midseason dealmaking accelerates across the league. Even with recent league chatter indicating trade talks around the edge rusher have lost steam, Dallas remains a focal point for deadline upgrade discussions.

What to watch: Monitor whether Dallas' front office translates deadline commentary into formal trade inquiries before the window closes.
