Crawford has done nothing wrong except that he's been overpaid. That was the Cowboys' mistake, not his; and he's not obligated to throw all the money back to the team either.
For a third round draft pick Crawford was a steady, versatile, reliable, and productive player. He could play both end or tackle in either three or four man fronts. He was also a respected team leader.
It's not his fault Dallas paid him like he was a superstar; because he was never going to be that type of player. The problem is the contract he got was so bad most Cowboys fans don't appreciate his contributions. I wish him the best for whatever path his life takes and I thank him for all the effort and hard work he put in.
