A report suggesting the Dallas Cowboys were considering a trade for Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker Patrick Queen or Las Vegas Raiders defensive end Maxx Crosby has been dismissed as entirely fabricated, according to Yahoo Sports.
The story, published on October 30, 2026, by Mike Fisher, cited an unnamed source claiming the Cowboys were evaluating a move for either player. However, the report was explicitly labeled "totally fake" by the outlet, indicating no such trade discussions have taken place.
Neither the Cowboys, Steelers, nor Raiders have commented on the speculation. Queen, a Pro Bowl linebacker, signed with Pittsburgh in 2024, while Crosby remains a cornerstone of the Raiders' defense.
