There you go again, making too much sense.It’s not our money lol why do people care? Obviously if the front office wants to make a move for someone else he is going to be one of the easiest contracts to dispose of. No matter how much we want Griffin or Clowney, the FO seems to have little or no interest.
It seems pretty clear that the heavy lifting of this offseason’s personnel acquisition is done. The team didn’t need to cut TCraw’s contract down so they didn’t. If they genuinely like him as a guy, why would they ask him to take a pay cut without needing the space? Just to see more cap room on Spotrac?
I’m not saying dudes a beast or anything but if they didn’t need the cap room then they weren’t going to ask him to take less. Why it bugs us makes no sense, we act as if we are actively pursuing multiple players and are coming up short with the funds needed to sign them. Paying Dak increases our cap room, so he doesn’t count.
Like many, I just don't get the deal with Tyrone Crawford:
-We thought that Marinelli loved Crawford, but it appears the front office is very high on the player.
-Coming off of double hip surgery, team could of release him for big savings or ask him to take a pay cut. Neither happened.
-He offers very little as a pass rusher, more of a run stuffing base DE. Some of his positives, has position flex and is considered one of the leaders in the locker room.
-It appears he is the leading candidate to start at Defensive End.
-Perhaps they like his positional flex implementing a defense that will have multiple fronts.
You're preaching to the choir here brother!
The fact is that for all of the things the team has gotten right as of late, there's very clearly at least one remaining that they get wrong. They got it wrong last year and it cost them $10 million for next to nothing. And yet some dummies want to rubber stamp doing it again.
i would normally say it is probably for the same reason why they loved and stuck with Rod Marinelli,... for the same reason why they loved jason garrett
and stuck with him.
Built in Sentimental Loyalty within the organization to stay with a certain coach or player longer than what they should have been.
But that said, how do we know the new coaching regime were not in on bringing back Crawford as well ?
How do we know that when team evaluations and future plans went down when the coaching change took over
with McCarthy, Nolan and Tomsula putting in their 2 cents on keeping Crawford ?
Is there something about Tyrone's leadership, experience, versatility and skill set that is favored more than how the anti-Crawford crowd sees it ?
i tend to wonder about that now.
I just don't get it. They could use the cap funds and bring in a legitimate high level starter such as Griffen at the position.
They can designate him now, if they wanted to.Perhaps they're waiting to declare him a june 1 cut. I sure hope so.
-Jerry Jones is known to get too close with his players and doesn't run the team like a business.
-You would think the new staff had say to keep him or not. Looking at the position, probably had little choice
-I bet you are right about them valuing his leadership, experience and versatility.
Because it makes no sense. And we're right. And we've been right for years. They've kept this player around for years with results that continue to disappoint and at exhorbitant costs. They can 'say' whatever they want about him, but results never justify their words.
I guess those continuing to try to make excuses are fine with the fact that they wasted $10 million last year and are about to waste another $9 million this year. Those people should never comment on any salary cap matters again because they're living in a fantasy world.
They can designate him now, if they wanted to.
-Crawford is an ok player. I get it, he does a lot of the dirty work, but he's not a Justin Smith who used to play for the 49ers. He is a player who can easily be replaced at a much lower level. He was paid to be the team's 3t in Marinelli's defense, yet has never been much of a pass rusher, which that position requires.
I think this is strictly a GM and cap decision. One that McCarthy is simply conceding to Jones rather than pushing to get him off the roster. Nothing on the player's tape would have anyone campaigning to keep him. Certainly not 2019 and certainly not an aging player coming off of double hip surgery.
Words, empty words that translate to nothing on the field where it counts. That is Tyrone Crawford.
Same agent as Dak
No way they ask him to take a pay cut or more and make the dak deal even harder.....

I dont think they want to add fuel to the fireSo they're afraid of agents now? That's not good.
