Tyrone Crawford

ANALYSIS
Both sacks came Week 14 against the Bengals. Crawford has been a versatile piece of the defensive line puzzle for the Cowboys for eight seasons, but the 31-year-old is headed into free agency, and his 2020 performance didn't exactly offer the team a lot of incentive to bring him back. Add in the fact that new defensive coordinator Dan Quinn may want to bring in younger players that better fit his scheme, and Crawford could very well find himself in another uniform next season for the first time in his career.

ANALYSIS
Patnode's speculation stems from what he sees as the unappealing combination of Crawford's hefty 2020 salary and his recent injury history. The 30-year-old played just four games in 2019 before undergoing surgery on both hips in October, and even though he's reportedly recovered well from the procedures, he's likely maxed out his production eight seasons into his NFL career. Meanwhile, Crawford is due $9 million in salary in the coming season and his release would save the Cowboys $7.3 million, increasing the chances a move is eventually made. Seahawks general manager John Schneider has been on the hunt for versatile linemen this offseason, and given Crawford's ability to play both inside and outside depending on down and distance, he could certainly fit the bill as a rotational option.
