Since signing a five-year, $45 million dollar extension back in 2015, Tyrone Crawford has not lived up to expectations of most Cowboys fans. The Boise State product has never recorded more than 5.5 sacks in a season, never been selected to a Pro Bowl, and by most’s standards, has under-performed for the contract he received.
This believed lack of production has caused many to ponder the question: why did Dallas ever sign Crawford to an expensive long-term deal? This questions came up, possibly more than ever, last season, when Crawford missed all but four games with a season-ending hip injury.
