Cowboys Trade WR Patrick Crayton To Chargers For 7th Rd. Pick

The Dallas Cowboys reached a deal Friday to trade wide receiver Patrick Crayton to the San Diego Chargers, according to Crayton's agent Fred Lyles. Crayton confirmed to ESPN that he'd been traded to the Chargers in exchange for a seventh-round pick. Crayton, who was drafted in the seventh round out of Northwestern Oklahoma State by the Cowboys in 2004, caught 196 passes for 2,888 yards and 23 touchdowns in 82 games -- including 33 starts. The reciever had sought a release following April's NFL draft -- when the Cowboys selected Dez Bryant in the first round -- and again after the Cowboys' final preseason game on Thursday.

I have a feeling the Cowboys are going to regret this deal, Jerry Jones couldn't let his ego take a hit but Roy Williams should have been the one to pack up and go. If the Cowboys get to the playoffs they are going to kick themselves because Crayton isn't there.

Crayton isn't exactly going to make the Chargers forget about Vincent Jackson....

For a 7th Rounder it's great value, but I agree, he's not going to make opposing defensive co-ordinators shit themselves.

I don't know. I think I might rather have Roy Williams. The difference between them is not huge. The biggest difference is nobody has been dumb enough to think Crayton is a number 1. I really think Roy gets alot of flack for Jerry Jones just being stupid and thinking he was more then he is.

Me too, Sweets. Plus, they haven't seen #1 pick Dez Bryant play a down yet.

For the value....it's a good deal.

With the potential loss of Vincent Jackson and with the additions of Crayton & Ryan Mathews....the Chargers could lean more towards the run this season.

Crayton is a solid bet for 55-65 catches for 750-900 yards and 4-7 touchdowns this season.

Good for the value...Crayton/Williams...production wise, same difference. Hopefully for the Chargers sake, they aren't thinking this is protection for when Jackson leaves...
