Cowboys. Jones makes these boneheaded moves all the time. He hates losing players he drafted.
But also you have to look in context. He didn't start his rookie year, missed a year, and then started two straight years with an increasing sack total of 3 then 5.
And then there's the fact that he played more DT those two years before his contract. And the fact that he restructured to a 5 year $5.5 mil deal a year after signing the initial big contract because they realized it was a huge mistake.
Edit:
There's also the fact that Crawford is 290 lbs. while Okafor is 261 lbs. Teams put a premium on size, especially if stats are pretty equal.
Okafor is a medicore speed rusher. Teams don't pay top dollar for that. If he had those stats and was also 290 lbs. then yeah maybe he'd see about $8 mil per.
