Cowboys news and notes

Q: Do you know if the Cowboys are going to get Patrick Crayton re-signed? Seems to me that he is very important to the offense. I don't think that Sam Hurd can do the same for the offense that Crayton can if the Cowboys lose him.

Mickey: Crayton is a restricted free agent, and the Cowboys sent him a $1.3 million tender, meaning if they decided not to match a restricted free agency offer sheet he signed then they would be compensated with a second-round pick. Not bad return on a seventh-round pick. Restricted free agency concludes on April 20, so don't expect anything to happen with Crayton until then - unless he signs an offer sheet. At that point, when his rights revert back to the Cowboys, then they might think about extending him a year or two to lower his cap impact for this year. If not, then he's working for $1.3 million this year, which is much more than his minimums totaled over the past three seasons.

Continuing to look at improving their offensive line, the Dallas Cowboys have shown significant interest in center Samson Satele, TheRanchReport.com has learned.

Steele, who is currently ranked as the No. 1 center available in the draft by Scout.com, could also play guard at the NFL level.
