Final cut down, can only keep Tyrone Crawford or Trysten Hill

Hawkeye0202 · Jun 10, 2020

It's cut-down day and one's gotta go. Who gets the pink slip????

Hill is a young and cheap player but immature with questionable work ethic.

Crawford is the complete opposite ....hard worker, excellent leadership, lot of dirty work that doesn't show in stats but expensive ( final year of his current deal).

Well Crawford prob starts at RDE.

Trade Hill right now while you can before we lose him to free agency or gets cut in the next year or two.

We won't get anything in draft pics most likely. If he's a disaster in camp/preseason, ya cut him. If he shows growth with strength, maturity, and shows that quickness, he prob stays.

Why are we cutting down before training camp :huh:

GenoT · Jun 10, 2020

Haven’t had training-camp/preseason yet.

Until then, no one knows — including the coaches.

Hes actually not that expensive. His salary is finally in line with his quality of play. He is around 8 million this year is he not? Maybe overpaid by a million or two.

- Trysten is 100% a DT version of Taco. Bust. The same dumb-*** DC pushed to overdraft them, then quickly realized he couldn't handle their tantrums and dropped 'em.*** (note at bottom)

- Tyrone was/is overpaid by virtue of his past several years of not being fully healthy or even available. Even when he first got his contract, coming off some good years, it was seen as an overpay. Money and constant shoulder injuries is the dilema with Crawford, not ability, focus or heart.

So anyway, it's still a no-brainer. Only one of these players can and has played NFL football. The other is a confused, immature, overdrafted bust.

***Rod was a snake-oil salesmen in the way he sold himself as a "D-line Whisperer". He claimed to be able to tame the young misfits/malcontents, while also reviving/sparking production out of veteran free agents. Dude was a fraud and wasted oppurtunites to improve our defense (through draft, FA and coaching).

Keep Crawford. If we were a bad team and rebuilding I would change my answer but we are in win now mode.

Fair point.
Might as well ride it out now.

Not bust.

Crawford.
Duct-Tape is better than no-tape.

I'd prefer hill. No more position flex guys. Jacks of all trades, but masters of none. But hill has a lot to prove.

You couldn’t get a picture of rowdy for him

Today it’s a no brainer
Crawford is ten times the player
But hill will get a camp, hopefully, to show he wants to play football

Keep Hill. Easy choice.

Crawford should be on the trading block. If the Cowboys don't get any offers, then he should be on the cutting block.

I'd be thrilled to get a 4th for Crawford. A 3rd would be a dream come true.

Agreed, IF we can get something for him. If we got a 5th for him I would take it and run. Probably more like a 6th at this point, if that.

..I'm surprised Crawford is still on team. He was avg at best. As for Trysten, I saw nothing that made him prominent emphasis on him being top pick. That pick will have me scratching my head for while.

LACowboysFan1 · Jun 10, 2020

It's a toss up, Crawford has the experience, but costs a lot. Hill's cheap, but unproven.

If pressed, I'd have to go with Hill, Crawford had surgery on both hips, and he's 30 years old, besides costing a lot of cap space, for a guy that will not be a starter if Gregory is allowed to come back, or if Hill proves out, or even if Armstrong, or Jelks, comes on.

If Hill doesn't work out, then use Gallimore, we just got Poe and McCoy, both DTs, Crawford would have to be a DE, which somewhat negates his "versatility".

I think Crawford is pretty good, but time, and the NFL, waits for no man (er, except Gregory

)...
