Cowboys wide receiver Patrick Crayton is expected to sign a four-year deal worth as much as $14 million on Thursday night, according to Crayton's agent Fred Lyles.

Crayton, who took over as the No. 2 wide receiver when Terry Glenn was injured, will receive a $6 million signing bonus.

Seems like a lot

But with our top 2 guys being as old as they are, It's good to retain a reliable receiver like Crayton for the long term.
Then again, you have to wonder whether he'll regress to the 3-500 yards per season range as the #3 receiver. I'd like to think that the team would optimally retain Glenn or add another guy to supplement TO.

wow

so i guess a $6mm signing bonus works out to about $4,000 a fair catch?

kidding, glad we got him its good to have a WR who doesnt complain when he doesnt get the ball.

probably cost less than signing a wr w/the cleveland pick
