RELEASED Tyrone Crawford to retire per McCarthy

[Portnoy1]

Like players on this team before him, he got his money. He was never great just okay. I have and never will have an issue with a player taking as much money as possible. My issue is with the organization playing a guy who was never really great, just okay. I wish him well but glad he's gone.

Why in the ***k are they still in talks with Sean Lee?? Lee needs to take a page from Crawford and retire.

Bouncers better be on their toes 365 days of the year now.

 

[Turk]

some say he stole the money but it was GIVEN to him by our 'brain trust'

One of the most idiotic contracts we ever gave out. Sure we had some bad ones but this guy was NEVER worth half of what we paid him.

Good choice

Lee is our best LB...by far. As long as he's playing for a dirt cheap contract why do we not want him here?

Next stop, Ring Of Honor

I recognize the sarcasm, but if I owned the team, I'd do it just to pissed off folks here.

 

[irishline]

We should sign him to a 1 day contract so he can do nothing and retire a Cowboy.

On second thought we did that last year and it cost us 9 million. So nevermind.

Never really minded him too much as a player but oh that contract.

 

[Zordon]

I don't get the vitriol in here.

 

[CT Dal Fan]

Some funny responses here. But to be honest Crawford was a pretty productive player for the Cowboys as a third round pick in 2012. Never a star, just a solid guy.

It's the fault of the Cowboys' front office he was so overpaid. I don't think it's fair to hate on Crawford because he took that deal. He's always been the player he was; and to think he'd be appreciated more if he played eight years for the veteran's minimum isn't right.

Just my opinion.

Hes not tho. He has 100% lost a step. His body cant react to what his mind is seeing. Hes been a step slow 2 years now.

THANK YOU DUCT-TAPE

....he's finally going to open his own Hot_Bar in Dallas. Then he can legally get into fights.

Follow your own rules and leave then. You play no role in what this team does, by your own ‘rules’ don’t talk about it either.[/QUOTE}

Imagine asking you to treat others with some respect and this is your response.

 

[BlueStar22]

Yup, played wherever they asked him to play...seemed like a good team player. Sad "fans" feel the need to sh-t on his career.

This happens every time a player leaves the team. Especially with homegrown guys.

if I owned the team, I'd do it just to pissed off folks here

If I owned the team, I'd try to win.

I guess you and Jerry are just built differently than that.

 

[buybuydandavis]

I've always been a fan of Lee, but I'd rather have them negotiating a coaching role for him.

Much like *last* year, I want *this* year to be playing some young guys and seeing who sticks.
Jaylon, Lee, Thomas, all a bunch of progress stoppers. Just move on already and let some young guys play, and see who can.

 

[Zekeats]

Probably a top 5 day in cowboys history the past 10-15 years!

 

[FiveSuperBowls]

Should of retired last year.
