Cowboys Reportedly Rejected in Trade Talks for Raiders, Bengals Defensive Ends

The Dallas Cowboys, struggling defensively after trading star linebacker Micah Parsons, have sought to bolster their defense by reaching out to the Las Vegas Raiders about Maxx Crosby and the Cincinnati Bengals about Trey Hendrickson. Both teams declined trade offers, with Crosby expressing strong loyalty to the Raiders and the Bengals unwilling to part with Hendrickson despite his contract situation. Cowboys owner Jerry Jones denied targeting a pass rusher specifically but acknowledged seeking defensive help. Despite their defensive woes, the Cowboys remain competitive with a strong offense, currently holding a 3-3-1 record. Other NFC teams like Washington and the Eagles are also looking to improve their defenses ahead of the November 4 trade deadline. The Cowboys must act quickly if they hope to add defensive talent before the deadline, though their top targets appear unavailable at this time.
