Raiders’ Maxx Crosby Reportedly Won’t Be Traded at Deadline amid Cowboys, NFL Rumors – Zach Bachar, Bleacher Report
As quickly as Maxx Crosby was floated as a possible trade target for the Dallas Cowboys, cold water was thrown on top of it—for now.
Star defensive end Maxx Crosby will reportedly be sticking with the Las Vegas Raiders beyond the 2025 trade deadline.
According to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, the Raiders met with Crosby on Tuesday to inform him that they weren’t shopping him on the trade market and won’t part ways with him.
Former ESPN anchor Trey Wingo reported earlier on Tuesday that the Dallas Cowboys made “inquiries” about a swap with Las Vegas involving Crosby.
The 28-year-old has spent his entire career with the Raiders after they selected him with a fourth-round pick in the 2019 NFL draft.
Crosby immediately stood out on Las Vegas’ front seven before quickly blossoming into one of the league’s top pass-rushers, earning Pro Bowl nods in each of the past four seasons.
The Raiders rewarded him for his efforts in March, handing him a hefty three-year extension worth $106.5 million that keeps him under contract through the 2029 season.
Crosby has followed it up with another impressive individual campaign in 2025, amassing 28 tackles and 10 tackles for loss to go along with four sacks in seven games. He’s also racked up 25 pressures, according to Pro Football Focus.
Despite Crosby’s recent extension, it’s understandable that opposing front offices could be monitoring his availability considering Las Vegas’ disappointing 2-5 record.
The Cowboys will be looking for defensive improvements after trading star pass-rusher Micah Parsons to the Green Bay Packers on Aug. 28. Dallas is giving up 401.6 yards per game this season, the most among all teams.
Crosby doesn’t appear to be a legitimate option in a potential deal, though.
CeeDee Lamb says 2025 Cowboys offense is ‘the best one I’ve been on’ – Tommy Yarrish, DallasCowboys.com
CeeDee Lamb is giving some high praise about the current state of the Cowboys’ offense.
“We talk about this every day. Just grateful for each other, we compete with each other every day,” Lamb said. “I feel like the best part about it is we want each other to win the most.”
When the Cowboys traded for George Pickens in the offseason, they were adamant that they now had two number one wide receivers. In Lamb’s absence, Pickens proved that to be the case and then some, reeling in five touchdowns and recording two 100-yard receiving games.
Now that they’re both healthy again, Lamb can take some of the pressure off Pickens’ back, although the ball is still bound to go his direction too.
“It’s exciting, man,” Lamb said when asked about returning. “Watching my dog go crazy for the last few weeks, I’m pretty sure he enjoyed it. But just taking the load off of him a little bit, making him play true to the offense and what we’ve got going. It’s fun…”
“I’ll always be motivated, but I love to see him do his thing. That’s why we brought him here. I feel like he’s having so much fun here.”
Fun is being had all across the board for the Cowboys offense. They lead the league in total offense, are second in scoring and passing, and have scored 40 or more points in three games this season.
Over the course of his six year career in Dallas, Lamb played on some good offenses with talent everywhere. Is the 2025 unit the best he’s been a part of?
“This one is the best one I’ve been on, and I’ve been on some great ones,” Lamb said. “It’s just the way that we can move around these pieces, these players, and everybody everywhere. We can line up faster than any. It’s tough.”
Jerry Jones gives latest update on Cowboys CB Trevon Diggs’ concussion issue – Joseph Hoyt, Dallas Morning News
The Trevon Diggs situation still remains one of the most confusing storylines.
Owner Jerry Jones has heard Diggs’ story — even though he elected not to disclose details — and he’s comfortable with it.
“I am,” Jones said during an interview on 105.3 The Fan (KRLD-FM) on Tuesday. “And there’s no reason to dwell on it anymore.”
Though Jones was done dwelling on the concussion, he wasn’t done discussing the Cowboys’ cornerback in general.
“Consequently, what we did see is we played pretty well out there (against Washington),” Jones said, “and so I don’t know the status of Diggs as we move forward, but I feel better about being able to play if we don’t have him out there.”
Diggs has been the subject of conversation a lot this season. It began back in the offseason, when the Cowboys elected to use a deduction in Diggs’ five-year, $97 million contract extension he signed in 2023 worth $500,000. The deduction was due to Diggs not working out at least 84% of the time with the team during offseason activities. Diggs elected this offseason to work out and rehabilitate from knee surgery mostly on his own before the start of training camp.
“We expect a player paid like Trevon to be here all the time,” Jones said during the first news conference of training camp. “We expect him to be leading, expect him to be leading.”
Jones also hinted at some regret in paying Diggs, as well as offensive tackle Terence Steele, big extensions without waiting to see more of them.
Diggs said previously this offseason that the $500,000 deduction hurt his feelings. Before the season he also said, “Rules are rules and contracts are contracts and I have to live with whatever decision that is.”
Diggs made it back in time to play in the first six games of this season. Sunday was the first game he’s missed.
Broncos LB Dre Greenlaw’s 1-game suspension upheld on appeal – ESPN
The Denver Broncos will still be without one of their top defensive players on Sunday.
Denver Broncos linebacker Dre Greenlaw’s one-game suspension for unsportsmanlike conduct toward a referee has been upheld on appeal, the league announced Tuesday.
Greenlaw will miss Denver’s home game against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday.
In announcing Greenlaw’s suspension on Monday, the NFL said he “chased after referee Brad Allen and verbally threatened him as he tried to leave the field” following the Broncos’ win against the New York Giants in Denver.
Video posted by a CBS Colorado reporter showed Greenlaw’s encounter with Allen.
The suspension will cost Greenlaw, who must also sit out the Broncos’ practices this week, a game check in the amount of $192,778.
Sunday marked Greenlaw’s first game with Denver after he signed a three-year, $31.5 million contract in March. He did not play in the preseason or in the first six games of the regular season because of thigh injuries.
Against the Giants, Greenlaw played 21 snaps and finished with six tackles and a quarterback hit as the Broncos stormed back from a 19-0 fourth-quarter deficit to win 33-32 and improve to 5-2.
