I agree that it was a crafty resign by the Cowboys, but it's wrong to think that Crayton would command that much money on the open market. He resigned for pretty cheap to be the #3 guy for a reason.

Did I miss a season or something? When the hell did Patrick Crayton become Greg Jennings? He's a decent guy who can play in a very talented Cowboys offense and put up good production because of it, but that's it.

In the case of Berrian and Porter, both guys are borderline #1s in my mind. Or at least, very good #2s. But they need to go to good offenses.

well...Porter has gone to a very good offense...I think it's safe to say that Porter can be very productive in a good offense...

I agree for the most part. With Garrard at quarterback and the offense line staying strong (Mo Williams needs to be replaced I believe), he'll bounce back closer to his earlier years in Oakland.

I think the Colts will have to keep Marlin Jackson at RCB in their nickel defense, to keep on him. Play a smaller guy on Northcutt in the slot.

I would love for the Jags to resign Mo Williams but he will get paid very handsomely....we have guys who can step in for him though, mainly Richard Collier and Uche Nwaneri

I agree. Crayton is a #3 who can step in at #2 in case of injury. But he's got excellent hands and has proven his ability in this league. Are Berrian and Porter twice as good as he? No, but they will/got paid twice as much.

I actually don't mind the additions the Jags have made at the receiver position recently. Like I said before good role players who should step in immediately and not disrupt anything positive they're doing on offense. I also like the nice contrast of speed and possession receivers they currently have on their roster. The last thing they need is any sorta me-first kinda guy there.

I'm not sure how you would judge that. I get what you're saying, but it's really not that simple.

That said, I would personally rather have one Bernard Berrian on my team than two Craytons. That said I've made my love of Berrian very well known.

bf's man-love for Berrian is confirmed. :)

I knew it......

Hey... at least the Jags went the FA route than the draft route. Props to them for figuring out how to avoid further embarrassment in that aspect.
