It isn’t truly free agency season until the Dallas Cowboys are connected to one of the biggest players who could be on the move. On Thursday morning, the Chicago Bears dealt wide receiver DJ Moore to the Buffalo Bills. This is an interesting deal across the rest of the league, but it hardly involves the Dallas Cowboys directly.
Where this situation may impact Dallas is with regards to what Chicago may do next. The Bears received a second-round pick in exchange for Moore (they also lost a fifth-rounder
for full context) which gives them more ammunition to make other trades.
Who could the Bears possibly be linked to?!
The Cowboys have been linked to Maxx Crosby
Adam Schefter was speaking on the Pat McAfee Show on Thursday about the Moore trade and was asked where it leaves the Bears as potential Maxx Crosby suitors.
Schefter noted that several teams have checked in on Crosby. He included the Bears on that list, he named the Bills as well although noted that the Moore trade sort of makes it hard for them, and he also noted that the Dallas Cowboys have checked in on Crosby.
This should come as a shock to no one. Dallas was heavily linked to Crosby back in October before the trade deadline on multiple occasions, but they obviously wound up dealing for Quinnen Williams.
Recently word popped back up about Dallas being interested and Schefter obviously noted that again on Thursday. The Cowboys have multiple first-round picks to work with, but they do not have any Day 2 capital. It is hard to imagine how they could actually pull this off.
NFL Network’s Jane Slater offered some perspective on the situation around lunchtime on Thursday. She noted that nothing is impossible, but she hardly said that Dallas is fully in on the idea.
The NFL’s new league year is not technically until next Wednesday, but obviously deals are already coming together.
What do you want the Cowboys to do?
