Cowboys Re-sign McBriar, Patrick Crayton will be tendered

The Cowboys signed punter McBriar to a new contract, thus shifting priority signings back to Marc Colombo and Patrick Crayton.

The Cowboys are in deep negotiations with Colombo, so it would appear that he will be signed before free agency starts.

The contract for McBriar gives us flexibility in regards to what we do with Patrick Crayton who is a restricted free agent. Its probable that the Cowboys could use a 2nd round tender on Crayton, in doing this, the Cowboys can buy more time to negotiate a new contract for Crayton, but it would also guarantee a 2nd round pick if a team were to sign Crayton.

As of today, here's our current list of players set to hit free agency-

UNRESTRICTED FREE AGENTS:
G Marc Colombo
C Al Johnson
LB Al Singleton
DE Kenyon Coleman
K Martin Gramatica
S Tony Parrish

RESTRICTED FREE AGENTS:
WR Patrick Crayton
CBs Jacques Reeves and Nate Jones
LBs Ryan Fowler and Junior Glymph TE Brett Pierce.
