The Las Vegas Raiders met with Maxx Crosby on Tuesday to inform the star pass-rusher they're not trading him before the Nov. 4 deadline, sources told NFL Network's Tom Pelissero and Jane Slater.

Teams have shown interest in acquiring Crosby, but he wants to remain with the Raiders, Pelissero and Slater add. The Dallas Cowboys called Las Vegas about potentially trading for him, sources told Trey Wingo.

Crosby has been with the Raiders since being drafted in the fourth round in 2019. He's signed two extensions with Las Vegas during his NFL career, including a three-year, $106.5-million deal this offseason that keeps him under contract through the 2029 season.

The 28-year-old has 28 tackles, nine quarterback hits, and four sacks while playing over 87% of the defensive snaps through seven games this season. He's earned four Pro Bowl nods and two second-team All-Pro nominations since entering the league.

Crosby's one of the lone bright spots in Pete Carroll's first season as Las Vegas' head coach. The Raiders sit at 2-5 heading into their bye week and are coming off a 31-0 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, in which they managed only three first downs. The offense has been a disaster this year, ranking 31st in EPA/play with new quarterback Geno Smith.

The Raiders' next game is against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Nov. 2.
