Cowboys signed WR Patrick Crayton to a four-year, $14 million contract extension through 2011. The deal includes a $6 million signing bonus.

Crayton will get $1 million in 2008, $1.5 million in 2009, $2 million in 2010, and $2.5 million in 2011 with a $1 million escalator. Crayton likely could've gotten more had he tested the free agent market, but wanted to stay in Dallas. He is likely to face competition for his starting job in 2008, but will remain a key part of the Cowboys' three-receiver sets regardless.
