Cowboys expected to add LB Korey Toomer, DL Jack Crawford

The Cowboys continue to churn the bottom of their roster. They agreed to terms with linebacker Korey Toomer, according to a source. He will join the Cowboys’ 53-player roster after they make a roster move to make room. Toomer was released by the Seahawks on Saturday.

The Cowboys also are expected to add defensive lineman Jack Crawford on Tuesday when they move defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence to short-term injured reserve, according to a source.

The 6-foot-2, 234-pound Toomer was a fifth-round pick of the Seahawks in 2012 out of Idaho. He spent 2012 on injured reserve after having shoulder surgery and spent last season on the non-football injury list with a knee issue.

He spent time working with the Seahawks’ top kickoff team.

Toomer ran a 4.53 in the 40-yard dash at his Pro Day in 2012 and had a 42-inch vertical and a 10-foot, 10-inch broad jump.

Crawford was a 2012 fifth-round pick of the Raiders out of Penn State. The 6-foot-5, 275-pounder appeared in 19 games his first two seasons, with 18 tackles. The Raiders’ depth chart listed him as their third-string left defensive end before his release.

Crawford is a native of London, having attended high school at the City of London School.

Dallas also claimed offensive guard Donald Hawkins off waivers, cutting offensive tackle John Wetzel.

According to Broaddus, the Crawford signing is a "rumor".
Who the hell starts a rumor about a signing like that?

Crawford is a Jerry attempt to win over the London crowd v Jacksonville.

Not a bad pickup in Toomer. I'm impressed.

Boberts Toomer joke in 3...2... wait, where has Boberts been lately? Is he on sabbatical again?

They waived Jemea Thomas to make room for Toomer.

Hate to say it, but we need a CB now.

I thought Thomas was kind of filling that 5th CB/S role. Going with 4 is a big concern.

Why? they're not going to stop anyone, we won't need a 5th CB.
Then why look for anyone in waivers? If it's hopeless, they should just give up now.

Gonna change your name to Tuck Tail. Short for tuck tail and run. Might just refer to you as TT.

You just may have missed some sarcasm in that post.

Not early in the schedule if you think you have more running attacks to defend than passing ones.

Look at our first six games. Aside from the Saints, these are not teams that are going to spread out the defense and go four and five wides all the time to make that extra CB matter a lot.

It's not even about that...Carr had a short camp and Claiborne was injured...worried about a popped hamstring or another Claiborne injury.
