The Dallas Cowboys are back in the mix to potentially acquire star edge rusher Maxx Crosby after the Ravens pulled out of a trade with the Raiders. Meanwhile, the Cowboys are also fielding trade inquiries about defensive tackle Osa Odighizuwa as they reshape their defense under a new coordinator.

Why it matters

Crosby is one of the top pass rushers in the NFL, and landing him would be a major boost for the Cowboys' defense. However, any potential medical issues could impact his trade value. The Cowboys are also exploring moving Odighizuwa, a key part of their defensive line, which could signal bigger changes coming on that side of the ball.

The details

After the Ravens backed out of a trade for Crosby with the Raiders, the Cowboys are now re-engaging with Las Vegas about potentially acquiring the star edge rusher. The Cowboys had previously missed out on Crosby when they lost out on a trade, but the new medical issue with the Ravens deal has opened the door again. Separately, the Cowboys are also receiving trade inquiries about Odighizuwa, who signed a big contract extension with the team last year.
