The Dallas Cowboys are clearly on the hunt for a pass rusher. We can fast forward through the jokes. You know the ones. Imagine if the Cowboys had one of the best pass rushers in the league on their team! Someone like, I don’t know, Micah Parsons!
No one is interested in re-visiting matters from the past as it seems (famous last words) the Cowboys are focused on doing something in the future that can help turn things around. You know, by avoiding the things that helped build The Drought™.
Addressing the pass rush in free agency appears to be a top priority.
Trey Hendrickson is an option after Maxx Crosby
On Thursday there was a report that the Cowboys had checked in on Las Vegas Raiders pass rusher Maxx Crosby. “Checking in” is standard protocol and good for the Cowboys for having done so, but it seems like he may go for more than they are willing to pay. Everybody has a price.
Crosby could only become a Cowboy right now by way of trade and that stipulation does not apply to Trey Hendrickson. A former NFL sack leader, Hendrickson is set to hit the open market, and according to Trey Wingo the Cowboys are set to pursue him if they do not land Crosby as noted.
The Cowboys were reportedly interested in Hendrickson before last season’s deadline (Crosby as well) and ultimately wound up making a deal for Quinnen Williams. That Williams deal absorbed draft capital that makes acquiring Crosby a bit difficult these days.
Having to “settle” for Hendrickson would hardly be a consolation prize. The Cowboys very clearly need to improve their defensive front and if they are able to land a player of this caliber without having to spend any resources in a trade that would be viewed as quite the victory.
Do you want the Cowboys to pursue Hendrickson? Do you think it will actually happen?
