### **Jerry Jones Weighs in on Ravens' Handling of Nixed Crosby Trade**
Dallas Cowboys Owner Jerry Jones confirmed that his team was in the mix for Crosby before the Ravens and Las Vegas Raiders agreed to a trade that ultimately fell through, reportedly due to Baltimore's concern over the discovery of a degenerative issue in Crosby's surgically repaired knee.
Jones said he has no issue with how the Ravens handled the situation.
"Really it's pretty simple for me. There's no hidden item there," Jones said Tuesday at the NFL owners meetings, [via the team website](https://www.dallascowboys.com/news/jerry-jones-not-anticipating-re-visiting-trade-with-raiders-but-not-ruled-out). "You have to pass a physical. We've never completed an agreement until the player passes a physical. That implies yours, being your doctors and trainers and everyone involved, get to take a look at it. That goes with the territory."
The Cowboys' team doctor, Dan Cooper, a renowned knee specialist, reportedly was among a handful of doctors from outside the organization that the Ravens consulted with about Crosby's knee.
"We would've basically looked at the same conditions with a physical," Jones said. "And as you know, we were in on making an offer for him. So he would've come to Dallas, so we'll all just guess what would've happened."
The Cowboys reportedly made multiple escalating offers for Crosby before the Raiders accepted the Ravens' offer of two first-round picks.
When asked if the Cowboys would revisit trading for Crosby, Jones said: "I don't anticipate, standing here right now, revisiting that situation. I don't anticipate it. Is it possible? Yes."
