Las Vegas, NV — Emotions were high. The game was brutal. And now, one of the NFL’s most dominant defenders has sent the rumor mill into overdrive.
Maxx Crosby, the Las Vegas Raiders’ defensive superstar, posted a three-word message just hours after Sunday’s overtime loss — and it’s got fans reading between the lines.
“Can’t keep fighting alone.”
That was it. No context. No hashtags. Just raw emotion. But for Cowboys fans — who’ve spent weeks dreaming of Crosby in silver and blue — those words hit differently.
With the Dallas Cowboys rumored to have inquired about Crosby before the NFL trade deadline, his post instantly reignited speculation. Within minutes, “Crosby to Dallas” was trending on X (formerly Twitter), with fans flooding his comments:
“Jerry, make the call.”
“We need this dog in Dallas.”
“This man deserves a Super Bowl roster.”
The 27-year-old edge rusher has been a lone bright spot on an inconsistent Raiders defense this season, leading the team in sacks and quarterback pressures. Known for his relentless energy and leadership, Crosby’s frustration seems to run deeper than one tough loss.
NFL insider Jay Glazer hinted last week that multiple NFC teams — including the Cowboys — had “checked in” with Las Vegas about Crosby’s availability, though no deal materialized. Still, the tension between the star and his organization hasn’t gone unnoticed.
When reporters asked about his post after the game, Crosby offered only a smirk:
“It means what it means. I play with my heart. That’s all I’ll say.”
For a fanbase desperate for defensive firepower opposite Micah Parsons, even that small tease was enough to ignite hope.
While a trade isn’t possible now that the deadline has passed, offseason moves could change everything — and if Sunday night’s cryptic post was any sign, Crosby might not be done sending messages.
🔥 Cowboys Nation, stay tuned. The story’s far from over.
