Cowboys sign WR Crayton to 4 year extension

[HeHateMe]

Well done Jerry. Keep it the great work.

Now get Canty and MB3 inked long term and I'm one happy camper.

Thats a quality signing by Dallas, I didn't expect them to let him hit the market.

I think Parcells was hoping he would.

[skinfan2k]

wow thats a great signing.

[mboyd784]

Time for Patrick to start partying hard!

[Romo the Great]

This is what having a superstar QB does to a WR. It makes him from a scrub to a good player.

[Roger.Staubach]

I think that the contract was fair. Patrick Crayton is never going to beat anything more than single coverage as he is as slow as a defensive lineman. He does, however, have tremendous hands and body control. One of the most fluid athletes on the Cowboys. If only he had some wheels...

[Teller]

Crayton's a tough SOB. How many times did we see him get obliterated by ST, only to come back and make a play. Good re-sign for the Pokes.

[Fifty Gut]

good move by the Boys although Crayton needs to find a way to stop disapearing in games

[McMetal]

This is what having a superstar QB does to a WR. It makes him from a scrub to a good player.

Actually, it makes an average player APPEAR to be good.

[Mr. S]

They are doing some great re-signings, such as Ratliff and now Crayton. Until this season, Philly was looking good doing that as well. I think this is something the Redskins need to start doing more often. Most notably would be Heyer, Montgomery, and Blades.

[DCranon21]

Good signing by the Pokes. Keeping the role players is vital in the league.

[morpheusmeyers]

He signed a 4 year deal. Not surprising since he's from the Dallas area.

http://www.nfl.com/news/story?id=09000d5d805826e2&template=without-video&confirm=true

Randy Moss, Bernard Berrian, Bryant Johnson, Devery Henderson, and D.J. Hackett are still out there, though.

I'm going to assume Moss will stay in NE. Anyone care to guess what Bryant Johnson would cost?

[DButz65]

Who cares? not that we would want him here. Wrong forum too

[Robbnva]

not very much I would assume because he seems injury prone, but I like his height. I think we just need to focus on grooming a stud WR from the draft. Anyone already established will cost to much.

[ST is my boy]

Good. That means twice a year Landry will get a chance to re-enact what Sean did too him 2 years ago. :silly:

[Combatant]

The only significant thing that comes from Crayton signing is that he's comfortable now. Before the signing he was playing for a contract, now he's paid. :)

[morpheusmeyers]

Who cares? not that we would want him here. Wrong forum too

Sorry if this is in the wrong forum. I thought it would be relevant to this forum, given the multitude of recent threads discussing our need to draft or aquire a receiver this offseason. I added the question about B. Johnson because I would be interested to see what it would cost us to aquire him.

Mods, if this is post is in the wrong forum I apologize and please move it.

[[[ghost]]]

I'm not too worried in terms of him being an addition here. He's good, but I'd rather draft someone later.

More importantly though, if we want to look forward to the off season, the Lines should be our priority. Not saying that our OL struggled this season for no reason, but solid depth at that guard position ought to be crucial in allowing Portis to have a big day each game next year.

I've posted several times that I think we should draft lines in rounds 1-3. Either 2 OL and 1 DL or the other way around. Would love to see us draft C. Campbell, OL, and OL in rounds 1-3.

Having said that, I think Bryant Johnson would be a smart pickup. He's got size, decent speed, and good hands. And I don't think he would cost that much.

Good, I wouldn't want us thinking about signing him

[pjfootballer]

Bryant Johnson is the type of WR we need. Big, physical, strong and he won't cost as much as a Moss or Chad Johnson type. I watched a game on ESPN classic when he was at Penn St. and the guy was (I hate to use this term) a beast. He was owning the Illini.

[Buck812]

Im glad the the bbn resigned him. I dont think he was worth it.

[DButz65]

So he has made 1 big play in his career, whoopdedoo

Bing! I completely agree about bring Bryant Johnson in. Another WR I like is Jerry Porter from the Raiders. I liked watching him when Rich Gannon was the QB at Oakland. He'd make some nice grabs and I believe he was the #3 WR there at the time (behind Troy Brown and Jerry Rice). Since then, he has had to deal with a constant change at QB (and horrible ones at that) and a coaching carousel almost every year. I always thought he would turn into one of the better WRs in the league but it appears he didn't have much luck in Oakland.

[joe gibbs da king]

he is better than any wr that we have.

And that one glorious monday night in 2005 (dont make me post pictures of Santana SMOKING your boy Roy twice).....when Sean Hit Patrick.....Sean probley should have been arrested for what he to did him. Crayton looked plain SILLY.

Now run-along back to cowboys zone and remind your friends about it.

Nice comparison......not that are Offenses arent different in everyway or anything.

Ill take Sanatana Moss over Crayton ANY DAY OF THE WEEK!!!!!!!

[morpheusmeyers]

What are you smoking? Seriously, nice first troll, i mean post

He probably should have said "Crayton has put up better stats this year than our guys" or "Crayton has more TD's this year than Moss and El combined" and not said that he's simply "better." But he does have a point. I don't think Crayton is a better receiver than Moss, but he's arguably had a better year than Moss. And he's Dallas #2 whereas Moss is our #1. But his post doesn't necessitate name calling, imo.

Anyone care to guess what Bryant Johnson will go for on the FA market? 4 years $15 million?

[joe gibbs da king]

I'd take there offenses over are 700 page playbook anyday. At least they score points and get the ball down the field. Not any of that dink and donk crap. And i'd trade moss in a heart beat for crayton.

[joe gibbs da king]

4 15 mill with about 6-7 mill signing bonus

Ha ha, I was defending you, but you should have stopped while you were ahead.

Crayton over Moss in a trade? In a heartbeat? You're not going to get too much support on that one.

Based on just stats, he's "arguably" had a better year than Moss, though. I'll leave it at that.

[morpheusmeyers]

4 15 mill with about 6-7 mill signing bonus

That's about what I was thinking, but didn't have anything to base my thinking on.

[joe gibbs da king]

Moss has had 1-2 good yrs. Now he is on his way down while crayton is on his way up,is alot younger, and cost least even with his new salary So yes i would want him over Moss.

You just said Patrick Crayton is way younger.......**HELLO**!!!! There both 28yrs old!!!!!!!!! Why am I even arguing with you?

Just saying the name Patrick Crayton makes me laugh.

[QUOTE=joe gibbs da king. Moss has had 1-2 good yrs. Now he is on his way down while crayton is on his way up,is alot younger, and cost least even with his new salary So yes i would want him over Moss.[/QUOTE]

Moss has been in the league for 7 years, Crayton for 4. So yep Crayton's a little younger.

Here are Moss's stats over the last 5 years, from this year heading back. 693 2, 790 6, 1483 9, 838 5, and 1105 10. That's an average of 982 and 6.4.

And here are Crayton's over the last three (I won't count his rookie year when he didn't play much). 689 7, 516 4, and 341 2. That's an average of 515 and 4.3. Taking out Crayton's 2nd year and only basing the numbers on Crayton's last two years (his two best) the numbers increase to 602 and 5.5.

Either way, Moss has averaged way more yards, and more TD's. Since Moss is still a deep threat and hasn't "lost a step" yet, I don't think he's on the downside of his career just yet.

I'll still say that Crayton has had arguably a better year than Moss. But based on production he is in no way simply "better" than Moss.

[Henry]

Moss has had 1-2 good yrs. Now he is on his way down while crayton is on his way up,is alot younger, and cost least even with his new salary So yes i would want him over Moss.

Crayton is older than Moss. Neither is on the way up or down. Moss' problem is that he's inconsistant, but he's capable of brilliance that Crayton has never exhibited. After four season, this is Crayton's best by far, and his numbers would match Moss' fourth best year (55 receptions for 790 yards and 6 TDs in 2006.)

Unless you are extremely short-sighted, you cannot possibly think Crayton is a better player than Moss simply because Crayton's best year is better than Moss' fifth best year.

[morpheusmeyers]

Just saying the name Patrick Crayton makes me laugh.

Ha ha ha. You're right! When joegibbsdaking wrote that Crayton was younger than Moss I didn't think to actually check Crayton's age. Based on years played, 7 to 4, I took him at face value and assumed Crayton is younger.

Nice catch!

[DCranon21]

he is better than any wr that we have.


Ummmm, come again??? :doh: He may be a good role player and smart move by the Pokes for re-signing him, because he was on his way to Miami, but there is no way he's better than Santana.

[DCranon21]

This is funny. How many 1000 yard season's Crayton have compared to moss. As a matter of fact, I think this is Crayton's best statistical season as a Poke. How about Bryant Johnson or Chad Johnson that we should go after, but if you want to talk Redskin matters, take it to the Stadium.

[coolbeans]

Just for the record, Crayton said there was no way he would have gone to Miami. He was one of the biggest Parcells detractors on the team. Crayton said he wanted to remain a Cowboy and took less than he would probably get as a free agent to stay in Dallas. I think its kind of foolish to argue who is better. They are totally different players and play in different offenses but if they are putting up similar stats, its tough to say who is better.

[dockeryfan]

I have never been overly impressed with Crayton. Put him on a team where he is the only target and you would see a very average player.

[HeHateMe]

Not sure anyone's saying he's a bonafide #1 WR.

He is what he is.

He's an incredible #3 WR and a very viable and worthy #2.

Considering he couldve and wouldve gotten more on the open market, and also considering lesser WR's have gotten paid a lot more, Dallas has to be thrilled with this latest move.

[DWinzit]

Crayton is a good #3.

[CowboysSaintsFan]

Crayton is a good #3.

As good as Wes Welker is, he's nothing more than a #3, and Crayton's contract is peanuts compared to his.

Ultimately, I was pleased in the Boys resigning Crayton.

That was definitely a good hit.

That's maybe one of only two times I've ever seen Crayton let go of a ball... the other time was this year when he just flat out dropped a sure TD.

Other than that, the guy is one of the most sure-handed receivers you'll see in the NFL.

He has other limitations to be sure, but he's got very reliable hands.

I'm glad we re-upped him, especially at that price.

[TheREALJBird]

Glorified slot receiver....my buddy(Cowboys fan) swears he can be a #1 WR:laugh:

I like PC as a good #3 and ok #2 WR who can dependably make a fair catch as a PR but I would trade him to have a WR like Welker that has some quickness off the LOS and be a threat to make something happen as a punt returner.

[Dance04]

I would take welker over crayton everytime. Not to say that crayton hasn't done well this season; he has.

Welker 5yr 18.1mil w/9mil signing bonus
Crayton 4yr 14mil w/6 mil signing bonus

Welker's contract really didn't cost that much more coin than Crayton but he did cost the Pats not only a 2nd but also a 7th.

[VCDefectors]

Good signing for the Cowboys. These role players are the type you have to resign to keep continuity on a team. I'd like us to resign Hamlin as well.

[909997]

i wish we could get half the production crayton has with brandon lloyd.

First it was 5-11.

Then it was 8-8.

Then it was a first round playoff loss.

Now it's they won't win any playoff game at all.

Next it'll be they'll lose in the NFC Championship.

And after that, assuming you havent jumped off the nearest bridge, you'll be the biggest AFC fan in history.

And if, God forbid, all else fails, well, then you'll finally come out of the closet as the biggest Dallas fan this world has ever known.

If you think Patrick Crayton = Freddie Mitchel, then you must never watch Crayton except the 2 times a game that we play washington and the same probably went for Freddie Mitchel

Seriously Mitchel has a career 90 catches, 1263 yards and 5 TDs (4 years) as a first rd pick.

Crayton has a career 118 catches, 1708 yards and 14 TDs (4 years) as a 7th rd QB moving to WR
