http://www.yardbarker.com/nfl/players/patrick_crayton/1633 Recent articles about Patrick Crayton en-us Former Dallas Cowboys WR Patrick Crayton is looking to sell his mansion for $1.89 million. The house is located in Lewisville, a suburb just north of Dallas, and is a short 30 minute drive to Cowboys Stadium. Crayton, who is still technically a free agent, has been out of the league since a brief stint in San Diego ended in 2011. With no bites last year and a recent injury history scaring teams off, Crayton is probably sensing his time in the NFL is done. Time to liquidate! Remember, a full five years have passed since Crayton signed his $14 million deal with the Cowboys. Scoop On Crayton’s Texas Crib 6 bed, 8 bath 8,997 sq. ft.

The Cowboys had finished the previous season at 13-3 but lost the Giants in the playoffs. Nevertheless, many had the Cowboys pegged as a Super Bowl contender. The team needed a receiver, though, given that Terry Glenn had played his final game. The other receivers were a 29-year-old Patrick Crayton and a 35-year-old Terrell Owens. Miles Austin wouldn’t break out for another year. Dallas took Felix Jones and Mike Jenkins in the first round and had the 61st overall pick, which was near the end of the second round. And that was one heck of a second round: Jordy Nelson, Curtis Lofton, Matt Forte, DeSean Jackson, Ray Rice. Dallas got Texas A&M tight end Martellus Bennett. In 9 games as a rookie, he had 4 TDs. Of course, after 48 games as a Cowboy he still had the same 4 TDs. Over the first 9 games of the 2011 season, he had 6 receptions for 49 yards. He wasn’t close to scoring a touchdown. It’s now 2012. Bennett plays for the Giants.

Crayton caught for 697 total yards and seven touchdowns back in 2007.  Neither player is worth the Cowboys time anymore.  They didn't contribute near enough in their tenure with the Cowboys.  However, acquiring Terrell Owens makes more sense than the popularity of the sexy librarian. Owens played three season with the Cowboys, from 2006-2008.  Owens caught passes for 3,587 yards and scored 38 touchdowns during his time in Dallas. Owens came to be seen as a locker room distraction at the time of his departure, but a year spent wrangling around looking for teams likely humbled the unemployed receiver. In Owens, the Cowboys have a perfect solution for the ho...

Head Coach Gary Kubiak has made it clear that there is a possibility that the Texans will be looking for a possible veteran to bring into Houston. All that has been said with Andre Johnson sidelined is that Kevin Walter is the only wide receiver with game experience and the next in line is second year wide receiver Lestar Jean, who has learned the system from the sideline. Throw in the unproven Jeff Maehl, Jauquin Iglesias and Trindon Holliday, who is only a return specialist until proven otherwise and has been on the roster now entering his 3rd season. Plus the Texans have added four rookies that include two draft picks in DeVier Posey and Keshawn Martin and two undrafted rookies in Mario Louis and Jerrell Jackson.  With this group, players not named Johnson and Walter have zero NFL...

And we all remember that the team came out rather sluggish against the Giants, who beat Dallas 21-17 en route to a Super Bowl title. NFL Films might have named the annual highlight film for the 2007 Cowboys as “So Close, Yet So Far Away.” Four years later, NFL Films could have recycled the same title, but for different reasons. It’s hard not to think of those 2007 playoffs after watching both of the divisional playoff games this weekend. The Giants once again traveled to Green Bay to take on a favored Packers team, and once again, the New York defense rose to the occasion to give the Giants the upset win. On Saturday, the 49ers sat in a position similar to the 2007 Cowboys. Like the Cowboys, San Francisco hasn’t been especially relevant in the NFC for quite some time. The 49ers posted a 13-3 record, just like the 2007 Cowboys, and San Francisco hosted its first playoff game in nine seasons.

Oh, let’s try: throwing a touchdown pass to Mike Ditka to put away Super Bowl VI against Miami; scrambling for his life and launching himself headfirst for first downs and touchdowns; the Hail Mary; throwing a bomb into the outstretched arms of Butch Johnson in Super Bowl XII; tossing up his final regular-season touchdown pass to Tony Hill to put away the Redskins in the season finale in 1979. What images do we remember about Troy Aikman? Plenty: laser-like accuracy while hitting Michael Irvin on a skinny post or a deep out; the perfect throw on the crossing pattern to Alvin Harper on a play that secured the team’s win in the 1992 NFC Championship Game; running off the field with his arms in the air during three Super Bowl wins. My point today: What images will we remember when it comes to Tony Romo? What plays have established his legacy as the franchise quarterback? My goal isn’t to attack him or say we need to find a new QB.

The teams have faced one another 14 times, with Dallas holding an 11-3 record. Their last contest resulted in a 34-21 win. The Cowboys scored three second-half touchdowns in the win. Noteworthy: the three Cowboys who scored (Patrick Crayton, Roy Williams, and Marion Barber) are no longer with the team. Miles Austin was not yet a starter, but he gave a preview of things to come with a 42-yard touchdown reception on a catch and run. That score gave Dallas a 13-7 halftime lead.

Chargers wideouts only caught four balls -- two for Malcom Floyd and one each for Vincent Jackson and Patrick Crayton -- but one of them was a thing of beauty. Here's Malcom Floyd making some magic in the second quarter in front of cornerback Antonio Cromartie. The Jets covered so well that that's what Chargers receivers had to do to catch balls today. That was a beauty by Floyd, and the fact that it was the exception highlights how well the Jets defense played today.

The Chargers come in with a 4-1 record, a very good defense that plays very fast, a top flight quarterback, backed up by a group of monster wide-receivers that play with aggression and power. These wide receivers (Malcom Floyd, Patrick Crayton, and the great Vincent  Jackson), all look to attack down the field on each and every play. This will be a huge challenge for the Jets secondary come Sunday. Cromartie had better get ready to get picked on A LOT!! How will head coach Rex Ryan deal with the constant pressure Vincent Jackson will give the secondary? We all know how great Darrelle Revis is, but Jackson is just a man’s man, he will make plays regardless of who is covering him. The problem Rex will have is when Jackson lines up as a slot receiver; this is where he is most dangerous because he is not afraid to go catch the ball over the mi...
