That's not the point I'm making, nickman. All I'm saying is that regardless of past/present/future performance, Crockett's contract really isn't very large at all: 500K (vet minimum) with a signing bonus that breaks down into a bit over 400K this year. Williams is getting over twice that in base salary alone this season (2 mil...), plus another million and a half or so in bonus money. 3 (maybe 4) times as much as Crockett, for all intents and purposes.

I feel that Hasty was a better CB as well (although the attitude issue concerned me), but he was due to make over 6 million in 2001 and would not agree to a pay cut/restructure, so he's not really an issue. Don't mistake me for a Crockett fan or supporter - I don't like that signing at all, but he really isn't that expensive, either this year or next (he'll be cut following next season).

We really don't have any overly expensive players on the roster, as far as I can tell; we simply can't afford to with 19 million in dead money (thanks cp...) holding us down.
