That’s probably right, but Crawford is also “one of those guys”, like Heath or Romo or a few others—every year, denounced by the fanbase.
Just on a one year deal though, then either use our first on a D.E next year or sign a FA long term. Bring him in and we are fully stocked,....we can compete for a Super bowl this year. Maybe a couple minor moves/tweaks late in camp. Maybe a vet swing tackle although I think we can get by with Williams/ Knight, and a veteran backup LB. Other than that we are good to go IMO.......
Besides being too old for Dallas' roster, there's a reason why no team has picked him up as of yet. He has serious mental health issues. The man needs to retire and take care of himself.Just on a one year deal though, then either use our first on a D.E next year or sign a FA long term.

Don’t forget about Armstrong. I think he has a big year ahead of him.
I’d rather go the “cheaper and younger” route..and I’m not sure why folks aren’t talking about it more.
Markus Golden would be the best choice, imo. Not to mention it would rob our rival, the NY Giants, of last years sack leader (10 sacks). That’s the equivalent of a double move.
Markus is a “Lunchpail” type DE. He’s not flashy, but just causes havoc for the OL, yet still is productive. Golden had some injuries a couple years back that slowed him down, but his sacks and QB pressures are comparable to Clowney’s. He wouldn’t be a progress stopper if Armstrong, Crawford, Anae, Smith, Gregory, or even Ron’Dell Carter started to show up. (That’s a lot of potential)
He’s great against the run and he abuses OL with his wreckless style of play. If he stays healthy, he easily could shore up the RDE position, exp on 1-2downs. Then throw in Gregory, Anae, or Smith as the pass rush specialists. His disruption at the POA, will allow Lawrence, LBs, and DT to get home if he couldn’t.
I don’t normally advocate wreckless players as a whole, but having 1-2 that just annoy the opponent is just fine.
Watch his film and tell me what you think. Side note: I know it’s a weird comparison, so don’t @ me.. but Markus reminds me of what Marion Barber would look like had he played defense. Like Barber, Golden would be a handful for opposing OL.
No use for him if Smith and Gregory are here. I think that’s the hope at this point.
Practice squad problems are good to have. Means we have tons of talent.If Aldon and Gregory come back, I’m more than fine with them TCraw, Jackson, Jelks, Anae. That being said, Griffen on a one year deal would be fine with me if we cut Crawford. If not, we are going to cut 2 or 3 young Dlineman who could develop for a guy on a one year deal.
I would be so totally cool with this, but I'm certain Stephen is telling pops: Let's look at what we got dad!Just on a one year deal though, then either use our first on a D.E next year or sign a FA long term. Bring him in and we are fully stocked,....we can compete for a Super bowl this year. Maybe a couple minor moves/tweaks late in camp.

Golden was tendered by NYG otherwise he would also be my first choice, tied with Jadaveon Clowney.
Griffen is great fallback option however.
Agreed. I doubt they make a move on him because of the hope Gregory and Aldon will be backNo use for him if Smith and Gregory are here. I think that’s the hope at this point.
Hopefully they make it there lolPractice squad problems are good to have. Means we have tons of talent.
