The Falcons have signed former Cowboys defensive lineman Jack Crawford, reports Albert Breer of TheMMQB.com (via Twitter). It’s a three-year contract for the 28-year-old.
The former fifth-round pick had spent the past three seasons in Dallas. After missing most of the 2014 season, the lineman played in all 32 games over the past two years. In 10 starts this past season, Crawford compiled 25 tackles and 3.5 sacks. Pro Football Focus graded the veteran as the NFL’s 106th-best edge defender in 2016, and Crawford earned admirable marks for his pass coverage.
Crawford should provide some depth to the Falcons, who are currently rostering defensive ends Adrian Clayborn, Brooks Reed, Courtney Upshaw, and Derrick Shelby.

This is Jack Crawford not Tyrone Crawford. Tyrone is still under contract. Terrible mistake.

I wonder how long they’re going to leave this wrong for …
Maybe someone will take Tyrone as well? Doesn’t fit in Dallas anymore.
