Crayton?

[LatinMind]

is dallas trying to sign him?if a team offers him more money from the get go, all dallas can do is match the offer. but what if its more then what dallas wants to pay? dallas loses him for only a 7th rounder. i want to know whats the plan with this guy

 

[Displaced Cowboy]

I believe the Cowboys put a second round tender on Crayton.

If a team offers him a contract and Dallas doesn't want to match it then they get a 2nd rounder not a 7th.

 

[DasTex]

I believe it's a second round pick...correct?

 

[Screw The Hall]

They tendered him 2nd round money 1.3 mil ... so a team would have to give up a second rounder to nab him.

 

[McCordsville Cowboy]

Cant wait to resign a 29 yr old WR with marginal speed that already has a nice niche as third wideout.

Yes!!

 

[DasTex]

In all honesty...I like Crayton and all but if we could even get a 3rd via trada w/ another team I'd take it. Fairly deep WR class this year.

Crayton remains my favorite WR on this team.

Why? (I'm not saying that he shouldn't be your favorite, just wondering why.)

I prefer his style over the small burning style of Terry Glenn, and I feel that, given a chance to be a second WR, he would be very successful.

He is not TO.

Finally, I think his playmaking ability is severely underrated. The guy has a plethora of amazing catches, is FANTASTIC at running after the catch, extremely difficult to tackle, great route runner. I think he gets a bad rap because: 1) he is not a burner like our other 2 WRs and 2) people think he 'disappears' in games, but forget that he is behind TO, Glenn & Witten, and our offense with Parcells here, while it would spread out, wasn't a get the ball all around. Usually the first read was one of those other guys.

I think that if TO/Glenn went down we could still be successful with Crayton plugged in.

Just to echo, Crayton led the league in % of times targeted that resulted in first downs. He catches everything and he moves the sticks. He is also EXTREMELY good in the clutch, and in big games.

Yeah I'm with you. Don't think that I don't like Crayton, I think he's a great player for us. The burning of Sean Taylor was awesome, and the way he caught the almost-"pick six" at New York helped make me a big fan of him.

With Saints releasing Joe Horn, Crayton might catch on there, I always had a feeling Payton would get Crayton I just wonder if the 2nd round pick will scare him away.

I seriously doubt anyone is giving up their 2nd rd pick for Crayton, especially this yr with such a deep WR draft

Ya, but then again Payton knows Crayton, and he has had great sucess with players we thought were no good.

good. I'd be furious if we lost crayton.

Crayton has developed into a pretty important part of the offense as a clutch third-down option. I think the Cowboys were interested in Kevin Curtis as an upgrade but have probably realized his price will be too steep and did what was neccesary to protect Crayton.
