Neither Klint Kubiak nor Maxx Crosby cited an injury for the benching, leaving fans to wonder whether the preseason absence means something bigger.

Silly season.

Perfectly normal for first-teamers to be left out of PS games - as we see every year with Dallas.

I’m not falling for this trick.

Or am I?

LOL, a superstar not playing in preseason week 1 drama. Athlon Sports. Clickbait at its best.

Don't look now but I just read on Twitter...or did I...

It does add another layer to the rumors of a trade, for sure.

I have to wonder if they might be haggling over that second pick likely involved in the deal?

Does Las Vegas want a 2nd or 3rd while the Cowboys are offering a 4th?

Are the Cowboys waiting to see how their pass rush looks in the preseason before they make a final decision?

I think they want to see how the season shakes out first , but I can totally see a huge deadline of Crosby and the dolphins guy and then maybe a vet corner off the street and same for dt. 4 more proven defenders might be needed for a serious run

Athlonsports is a regurgitated clickbait site with nothing but speculation they like to present as facts.

“Breaking news, Cee Dee Lamb not playing for Cowboys tonight! Must be a trade looming!”

 

[CWR]

What a reach, geez. Talk about click bait trash reporting.

this is a serious contender for being in the photo in the dictionary under the heading of clickbait

Did anyone read the first paragraph of the article? You're right about Dallas, but they aren't the Raiders. Kubiak said his starters are playing. All healthy starters played, except for Crosby. A possible trade would be one of the reasons for this. Regardless of the reason, he's not coming to Dallas. I highly doubt they are going to open up another 15-20M to fit a 30 year old recently injured DE. Not to mention the cap issues that would follow next year. That's not today's Jerry.

I don't know why people are focusing on the site itself. It doesn't matter if the info is brought to you by a stark raving lunatic. Did all healthy starters play except for Crosby? If true, that's notable.

I don’t know if it is. Their best player who is coming off Injury not playing doesn’t seem that crazy.

I don’t think the cap issues would come next year but they would a year or so after. You just never know. I don’t think the trade is happening but we do know the Cowboys want to trade for him. I just don’t know if he’s available for their price.

 

[Rayman70]

Lord. The nonsense never stops

 

[charron]

Benefits to playing the best DE in pre-season....none
Drawbacks from playing Maxx in pre-season. Injury concerns, extra wear on his knees with zero benefits.

It adds up quickly. Williams and Clark add up to around 20m. Lamb goes from 19m to 46m I think. Dak is in the 70s again. Crosby would be 30m again. What to do with Pickens? Those restructures are pushing a lot of money forward. Not to mention if they sign Pickens. I just don't think our front office is willing to do that.

Every other starter was in the field. Crosby is the only one to not get a single snap.

He never wants to leave the field and I’m sure he’s not happy about being the only player to sit.

It is kinda weird cause he’s not injured.

They benched him last year cause they were actively tanking for Mendoza and didn’t want Crosby help them win a game and he was mad.

It was in the news quite a bit because he had already been through two rebuilds with them and wasn’t happy. It’s rumored to be why they finally put him on the market.

I don’t think Dallas is in on Crosby
