https://insidethestar.com/5-worst-contracts-for-2019-dallas-cowboys/



DL Tyrone Crawford - $10.1 million cap hit

WR Allen Hurns - $6.25 million cap hit

LB Sean Lee - $6 million cap hit

TE Jason Witten - $4.25 million cap hit

DE Taco Charlton - $2.74 million cap hit

Crawford's contract is one of our better as he is a captain and a work horse

Top 2 I agree with.

Lee at 6 is a lot for his expected position(SOLB) but he does provide excellent depth and leadership on and off the field(film room). Still understand the reasoning for him being on the list.

Witten at 4.25m isn't a lot for a starting TE. Yea, I'm not a fan of bringing him back, but his cap hit for what he should bring is fair.
We know he's slow, but as long as he can perform that Y-option route like years before he'll be worth the $.

Charlton at 2.75m isn't that bad. Talking about a rookie contract for a DE. It actually shows how well their contracts are set up when he makes this list.

Ehhh, I can't get worked up over the Charlton contract. $2.7MM for a backup DE who has some upside (admittedly hasn't reached that potential)? That's not a terrible contract.

 

[ClappingCarrot]

I agree with the first two. Hurns will be the #4 WR at best, and that's assuming he comes out of training camp 100%. Crawford is a JAG.

Lee, Witten, and Taco (who has some upside) at those prices are good value.

Considering that CBA decides it not like they had much choice on the number.

not for the production

If that's our fifth worst, then we're in pretty good shape.

IMO, the only bad contracts on that list are really Crawford's and Hurns, both of whom are getting paid too much for the roles they are expected to play. Crawford should be on Quinn's level for the money he's receiving, and while he's a solid rotational player, he's not on that level. Hurns should at least be the starting slot receiver for his contract amount.

Targets for next season and how this year's bump, to be signed yet, can still allow for contracts for such players as Jaylon Smith, Anthony Brown, and Byron Jones.

Cut them all, use that $$$ for Rowdy.

Yeah, really not all that bad. I think Hurns will add more than what people think. He is a good player, just not to the usuals liking.
I wish Crawford was more productive than he is, but he also does a lot to help other players that do not show up in the stats. The dirty work.

His leadership on the defensive line is an element very relevant. Rotation strong...is my thought.

 

[J12B]

Yeah, but Crawford is a leader.

He leads bar fights.

 

[Doomsday101]

If these are the worst that is not too bad. Crawford and Charlton contracts are the only ones that extend beyond this season the rest are on the final year of their contracts.

 

[MCMetal69]

Jason Witten is a sure-fire Hall of Famer ; I know he's a shadow of what he used to be , but I realize he's a life-long (illustrious) Cowboy and a Garrett and Jones boys favorite...........................

Crawford at $10 million per is a head-scratcher to me.....................................But hey , it ain't my money...........................

 

[Stash]

Who doesn't produce on the field.

"Captain" and "workhorse" mean nothing compared to actual, on-field production.

The contract sucks and has for years. This article points out the obvious.

 

[Stash]

It's the draft pick cost there - and the fact that they took Taco over the better option - rather than the salary cap cost.

 

[Stash]

And this is why people mention cutting Crawford and Hurns and using that same cap money to sign Gerald McCoy. Two overpaid, bad deals for one true difference maker.

If our receivers look good in camp and without injury, Hurns could be cut or dealt.

 

[Flamma]

Nitpicking. I do agree that Crawford is a bit over paid even though I like the guy. Hurns? Sure. But Lee, Witten and Taco? They're not exactly breaking the bank. You want overpaid? Look at La'el Collins. Him, Crawford and Hurns alone could free up some nice space for 2020.
