and noticed how this has nothing to do with Marinelli still here ... and you know Crawford was a Marinelli fav.
but it also shows management still has that Witten-ism sympathetic loyalty to keep hold on players.

it would be utter stupid to hold onto a utility guy and still give him 9 million, because they like his leadership character.
and you most definitely do not want Crawford starting at RE.- he just not gonna give you a rush threat on the edge,

and even taking a paycut - what's that gonna be like 5 million ? .... for a utility/rotational guy that roster spot could be saved
on a younger upcoming player vs a guy that's breaking down with shoulder and hip issues, etc. ?

Well said!

 

[Dre11]

Yall still think this guy is credible?



Cowboys were so interested in Harrison, that they didnt even call!

doesn't mean they don't like him or didn't like him. I'm sure they had interest in multiple DTs, doesn't mean they have to call all them

 

[Hawkeye0202]

They could have fought all they wanted....... Jones boys were not paying that no matter how much they wanted him back.

In fact it was reported in multiple places that the Cowboys did in fact talk to Quinn about coming back.

It's obvious MM is calling the shots of players he wants. I don't doubt they "talk" to Quinn about coming back. Hell Jerry even said at the end of the season bringing him back was a priority but I'm sure NOT at $15M. He chose Bears over the Falcons, meaning the Cowboys either dropped out or was never a serious bidder.

Like I said earlier, we still need his replacement as a starter, I'll wait and see what MM have in mine.

hold on, I thought this was Big Mike's operation? that's what I was told by the masses. if Crawford is here, apparently he sees what the last regime saw.

 

[Beaker42]

I mean for most of us we knew this.

1) They like him. Its clear.
2) He hasn't lived up to his contract. Pay cut
3) They believe he plays multiple positions on that line.

He’s shown more fight in bars than he has on the field.

Disagree 100%........IF that was the case, Witten would still be here. Jerry even threw out a couple nuggets wanting to keep Jason and obviously he wanted to stay BUT MM had other plans. What Jason wanted and MM wanted is the reason he's now a Raider. Bottom line IMO, IF MM doesn't want Crawford on this team, he's gone, especially since his contract has no guaranteed money left. Crawford is still on the team NOT because of Jerry and Stephen but MM.

He’s a run stopping defensive tackle. If he had a pass rusher in his game he’d be a superstar. He plays a key role

Crawford does a lot of the dirty work that opens things up for DEs, & blitzers

the folks don't understand that

 

[xwalker]

Once again I present to you the theory that Patrik "No C" Walker is an idiot.

Over 57000 posts and you finally have one I like...

 

[TwoCentPlain]

Crawford will not even sniff a practice field without a substantial pay cut. Vet min plus incentives. I don't think Crawford is even healthy any more. He had hip issues and couldn't even play last year. Those hip issues are not getting better with time.

It would not bother me one bit if Crawford joined Numbnuts Garrett as a NYG. Maybe Garrett can sweet talk the Giants into offering Crawford more money and he will leave.

 

[Howboutdemcowboys31]

Guys got more lives than 50 cent. Like Garrett, he just keeps surviving despite being super mediocre

I always loved all these meaningless adjectives the old management would use to justify over paying him ("uhhh locker room guy" "Uhhh position flex" "versatility" "uhh does dirty work"). They basically turned the guy into a walking meme

I'm so glad that garbage is finally over

 

[Bullflop]

Crawford has about as much a chance to succeed as a DE as I have of becoming a millionaire on retirement income.

To top it all off, he'd been playing at defensive tackle and was mediocre, so now he's assigned to DE, where he's even worse?

 

[ESisback]

There’s always one or two guys that are universally hated...until he leaves. I remember reading post after post about Jeff Heath...”he sucks”, “get rid of him”, “dead weight”, “just a JAG”, blah blah blah. Everyone hated him. When he was gone, “we suck, we don’t have Heath anymore!” Now it’s Crawford. Just sayin’.

 

[armadillooutlaw]

Tyrone Crawford has never been anything more than a versatile backup.

Another guy who makes for a nice role player that they over-value by having the mindset that if a guy is productive in a limited role, then surely he'd be more productive in an expanded role, which is usually not the case.

 

[TwelfthStar]

The Joneses obviously love him and their Boise State players.
I never hated Crawford, just his massive cap hit that wasn't quite justified by his production. If he drops it from $9.5M to about $5M, good price for a depth/rotational piece like him. Also should do better under Nolan since he'll bring more 3-4 looks.

and NOBODY else can do this dirty work you speak of?

Is there a PFF stat for this talent btw?
I wanna compare him to the other dirty workers and see what up.

It's a whole bunch of nonsense is what it is, intangible gobbledygook that doesn't do a tangible thing to produce meaningful statistics or contribute to tangible wins.
