This is one of the main reasons why the team values Crawford so much. Absolutely essential a team has vets like him that can show the young guys how to be a pro. On the plane, on the bus, in the locker room, on the prac field, during the games these young guys watch his example and hear his voice. That's why they didn't ask him to take a pay cut (which he was willing to do). I Hope Hill rewards the cowboys belief in him. Cowboys have always been a team that will take a flyer on questionable characters, and have often times been burned. Charles Haley being one exception.
