Bears, Cowboys Among Potential Maxx Crosby Suitors; New Contract In Play?
NFL Rumors - ProFootballRumors.com • • sports
Key Points:
- The Raiders have set a very high asking price for defensive end Maxx Crosby, but teams like the Bears and Cowboys remain interested in acquiring the five-time Pro Bowler, according to CBS Sports' Jonathan Jones.
- The Cowboys, seeking a top pass rusher after trading Micah Parsons to the Packers last August, are among the leading contenders in the Crosby trade discussions, though the Raiders desire a Parsons-like return, which may be unrealistic given Crosby’s age.
- Crosby signed a three-year, $106.5 million extension with $91.5 million guaranteed last March and reportedly would be willing to play next season on his current contract, though any push for a pay raise could weaken the Raiders' leverage in trade talks.
