is it 100% certain that Crayton would see the majority of Williams targets should Roy be out an extended period? I thought Hurd was the better "project" of the two?

Maybe Charles Rogers passed that onto him during their stint together in Detroit. Do these guys there not get enough milk?

Neither is Jessica Simpson. Dude's gonna break all the records.
Bold prediction:Marty B leads the team in REC TD's

It'll be spread out...but Crayton may actually become a viable fantasy starter.

CORRECTED: Witten is going to break the season record for a TE being double teamed

No, I meant that even though they won't be earth-shattering, they'll be serviceable. *Not* they'll be serviceable and possibly earth-shattering.
It reminds me of the Giants situation last year.

Austin hasn't been living up to his billing and as previously mentioned Hurd has been standing out this preseason so he would be the Sleeper of the Group.
Now is the time for Austin and/or Crayton to make their stand and try to hold the position but even T.O. raved about Hurds potential when he was there and took him under his wing giving him pointers on being a better wideout.
That might not be saying much to some of you but T.O. I am pretty sure knows talent when he sees it. Hurd also comes with the smallest price tag so while everyone else is scrambling for Austin and Crayton, Hurd is already stashed on my bench as my sleeper pick for the year.

It sure does seem like a scary good fit on many levels, doesn't it?

It does. Better than Crayton or Hurd. Have the Cowboys publicly spoken about Jones recently at all?

You are all wrong... Brandon Marshall will lead the team in receiving TDs!

this injury is bad; 8 weeks is lucky.

Crayton was already a starter. Hurd had passed Austin for #3. I suspect Crayton's role will remain about the same and Hurd will move into Roy's spot. I'd be adding Hurd (and have been during the last 10 minutes).

Those pimping Hurd need to be reminded of his preseason last year, maybe the year before, but he looked great and then didn't catch a ball all year.
Crayton cannot be a WR1 so get that out of your mind. He's a marginal NFL WR2, a much better slot guy where he has made a living. Austin ahs actually caught TDs in the regular season and looked good doing it. Hurd would a long shot IMO but I honestly believe Dallas will make a few quick phone calls, they are not going to roll with what they have...not with the new stadium and everyone of their fans having big expectations this year.
What WRs are out there? Harrison is so old and if he couldn't make it work with Peyton who he has had throwing to him for over 10 years...I ahve to believe he is way over the hill at this point. matt Jones might actually be able to stay with the team for awhile.

I meant viable fantasy starter...his targets certainly just increased.

I thought I remember Jerry saying he wasn't interested but I could be wrong... but...Things the Cowboys need:
Big, athletic WR? Check
Other qualities Jerry Jones Likes:
Off the field issues? Check
Arkansas Alumni? Check

I could see Dallas making a move for Marshall. Jones would be a nice fit also.
Hurds last couple of preseasons don't really matter because they had a decent core and he has made his major strides this off season. If thrown into action Hurd or Austin may blossom under pressure.

Are we sure it's a broken collarbone? 6-8 weeks? I really would think Roy is useless at that point...6-8 weeks, let's say he could start running about week 5 of the season, he might be able to go by week 7 or 8 but he just went form 5th round to almost undraftable. Crayton likely goes fro 15th round to maybe somewhere in the high single digits...8th/9th.

Trading for Marshall is a much bigger move then signing matt Jones plus they have $45 million and draft picks locked up with Roy...this is Joey Galloway all over again.

I know you're kidding about DJ but... it's possible they trade for Reggie Brown for depth. Or Baskett.Same division though... hmmm... maybe not.The Eagles have a bunch of receivers.....

Title needs changed until confirmation...people are having heart attacks right now and its all speculation...in fact we have reports that x-rays are now negative.
