What do you think about Patrick Crayton in Carolina?

The Cowboys will release him before the training camp starts. Some team ahead of us will claim him. Why not give Dallas a 6th rounder and pick up his $2 million salary before he hits the waivers.

Not that exciting to me, honestly.

Nothing special in the size, speed or hands department. He's overachieved at times, but not on a regular basis. These days, pretty average. He is, as has been said, "one of those guys you'll always be looking to upgrade".

Because he's not that good? Plus he's looking for a starting job, and if we're committed to young players then the coaching staff is going to want to have one of LaFell/Jarrett starting this year.

Having a veteran with great pass catching skills in a slot can only help those guys develop. This doesn't mean he won't be a 3rd WR (LaFell being a #2)

He has great hands and is a punt returner as well (something we need desperately)

You can get a punt returner for less than $2MM and a 6th round pick. We've got guys on the roster than can handle returning punts.

For the money he'd want, i wouldn't take him over what we have now.

Even at vet minimum (which doesn't technically exist this season) you'd have to convince me.

I believe we'll learn in time that Armanti Edwards can do anything Crayton could and more, but cheaper and minus the headaches.

I hear that every year brother, and we keep getting worse and worse. Every punt return I just pray the guy doesn't fumble, forget taking it back for a TD

He wants to start. Pretty simple concept there. Some teams start three WR, we're not one of them. He's not going to be a big part of our offense, therefore he wouldn't be happy here and we'd hear the same poo we're hearing from him now.

No.

      Panthers sign Hunter Renfrow

      he averaged 2 yards in YAC per reception last year.  He can't generate quick separation.  He was debating retirement last year.    Yet we championing him as some great option.  AT is a savvy vet we force feed the ball too......on a team starved for basic offense the last couple seasons.  We overrated AT.  Which is why some freak when people like JT on his podcast point out the painfully obvious about him.

      The Athletic has us ranked 28th on their post-draft power rankings, mainly due to us picking T-Mc instead of defense in round 1. They recognize we needed WR help, but... https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6317651/2025/04/29/nfl-power-rankings-post-draft-rookies-eagles-chiefs-bills/

      I mean, he is a slot technician.  That's what he does.  So, in a good offense, you would be trotting him out there on 3rd downs and situationally.....to not take what they give him but to move chains.  It's a niche.  AT hasn't threatened defenses in years.  Last time we saw Renfrow on the field he averaged..... 6 yards YAC per catch.  Adam Thielen last year averaged....2 yards in YAC per catch last year.  I still contend in reality, AT isn't a slot WR.  Not in reality.  He is an aging rec TE.  And those aren't the same thing.  AT simply can't generate quick separation or provide YAC.
