Interesting words from Broaddus yesterday on Dallas wanting to see more of Irving at 3-technique and move Crawford over to 1-technique (Hayden has both ankles injured). What if both players excel at those positions. In Marinelli defense the 3-technique is the money position. Can Dallas afford to pay Crawford $9 mill year to be run-stopper? The fact that practice squad guy might be better than our $9 million dollar player tells me there might have been over-valuation by Stephen Jones/Will McClay/Jason Garrett.

They've already paid him the money. If he is more effective at the 1, then that's where he goes.

i dont give a flying flip about who is making what, just put the players in their best position to thrive. put the best players out there no matter what the salary's say. drives me crazy when salary dictates who plays. i know it makes the GM possibly look bad but who cares!?!?

dallas is moving irving to 3 because crawford plays the run better; it isn't an indictment on either guy.
it is about getting through an injury situation at 1T.

irving may be awesome and keep the job but that's not what this move is about.

dallas is not paying crawford 9m per year. he might get 6.5/7

Not arguing with you. I have no problem with moving on from him Just wondering who you'd like instead.

Can you have too many talented players available for a rotational position?

According to over the cap we're attached to Crawford till after 2016. For 2017 if we really want to we can cut him, for 6 million dead money and a savings of a bit over three million.

That would be eating a huge mistake. 17m for 1 year added to the cost of losing Murray.

It is always better to let the contract play out unless the player is giving you a huge discount.

5/45m with 17m is no discount for a 3T with no accomplishments.

We never draft 1T or NT because our "system" doesn't value them. But the position is always a problem.

Then we draft a good player like TCrawford with a 3rd pick and run we to overpay him even though according to the system he should be putting up monster stats.

A ton of DT talent has been available the last few drafts and FA but we let them pass. I would love for someone to explain to me why a guy like Hayden consistently gets the most snaps on the DL and he is the weakest link in the rotation. Someone getting that much play seems to be a lot more valuable and important than we are led to believe every year.

Never a problem when you find more talent. Just rotate them. Irvin also looks good at DE. He might be a better LDE than Lawrence.

As opposed to paying him that much to do whatever it is he does now?

This thread title is one of the biggest understatements of the year. Although I'm not sure if Broaddus has been paying attention to the DT position; if he had, he probably wouldn't have used the word might.

contract is $45 million / 5 years. Works out to be $9 million year. At 25 years old I think Dallas was envisioning paying full contract.
