Happy Wednesday, Dallas Cowboys Nation. There can never be a regular week when you’re following the Cowboys, and this week was no different when rumors surfaced that Dallas was actively pursuing a trade for Las Vegas superstar Maxx Crosby.
As it turns out, the reports were news to the Cowboys, and the Raiders informed their star pass rusher that he will not be moved ahead of the NFL trade deadline on Tuesday, November 4.
So, the excitement was squashed after less than 12 hours.

Today, the team returns to the practice field in what should be an exciting day. Dallas will be opening the practice windows for rising star linebacker DeMarvion Overshown, starting center Cooper Beebe, and highly touted third-round NFL draft pick Shavon Revel.
While we wait to see what the day brings, let’s take a spin around the web and check out some of the news and headlines making waves online and across social media that we may have missed. Indulge.

A few weeks ago, no one could have ever predicted the dominant defensive effort the Cowboys had in Week 7 over the Commanders. InsideTheStar.com took a look at the defensive snap breakdown and pointed out some of the unit’s rising stars.
“Kaiir Elam, Kenneth Murray Jr., DaRon Bland, and Markquese Bell each played 67 snaps, anchoring the secondary and linebacker corps. Rookie linebacker Shemar James saw 66 snaps and continued his growth, while safety Donovan Wilson (65 snaps) remained active near the line despite some struggles in coverage. Interior disruptors Kenny Clark (43 snaps) and Osa Odighizuwa (36 snaps) kept the defensive front steady.”

George Pickens is not only bringing excitement to the field for the Cowboys, but he is also providing high-quality entertainment on the sidelines. Pickens should be mic’d up for every game, and videos like this show the in-season Hard Knocks later this season should deliver.
Now, let’s just hope that the front office does the right thing and gives Pickens the new contract he deserves to keep him in Dallas long term. The last thing the Cowboys need is for Pickens to hit the open market.
