Know it has nothing to do with the Pats, but just bored, and thought it would grab everyone's attention here.

Crayton gets extension

Wide receiver Patrick Crayton has become the next Cowboy to agree to a contract extension. Crayton, an unrestricted free agent, has agreed to terms on a new four-year, $14 million deal, according to a source. The deal includes a $6 million signing bonus. Crayton said Thursday he was hoping to reach a deal by the end of the week. He defused any speculation that he might be interested in signing with Miami and reuniting with Bill Parcells. “This is exactly where I want to be,” said Crayton, who is from DeSoto. Crayton has produced career numbers this season while replacing the injured Terry Glenn as a starter. He has 48 catches for 689 yards and seven touchdowns.

Crayton will make $1 million in 2008, $1.5 in 2009, $2 million in 2010 and $2.5 in 2011 with a $1 million escalator. Crayton could have possibly received a bigger contract by testing free agency. But he had a strong desire to stay in his hometown area and signed now for the security in case of an injury.

Apparently Terry Glenn is back, practicing with the team. Might be just the right time, with TO less than 100%.

Seems pretty reasonable, guess that puts Gaff around 4 years/ 11-12 million?
