From PFT:

'BOYS BLOCK TUNA FROM TAKING CRAYTON

Dallas Cowboys receiver Patrick Crayton, a looming free agent who was expected to be pursued by the Dolphins and new football poobah Bill Parcells, won't be going anywhere in 2008.

The Dallas Morning News reports that Crayton has signed a four-year, $14 million deal.  The contract includes a $6 million signing bonus.

The commitment to Crayton could mean the end of the line for Terry Glenn, who is signed through 2010 at salaries of $1.74 million, $2 million, and $4.95 million, respectively, over the next three seasons.  Glenn has yet to play in 2007 due to a knee injury, but is slated to make his debut in Week Seventeen.

Parcells selected Glenn in the first round of the 1996 draft, when Parcells was the coach of the Patriots.

haha i love how every player/coach now is going to be rumored to be wanted by Bill Parcells...

I've already heard of Derek Anderson, Rommeo Crennal, and now Crayton?

Who is next?  Jon Gruden I BET YOU...

[The Q]

The Tuna had eyes for him, you can bet on that. Jerry Jones pulls another fast one.

[bucs8ball]

Maybe the Tuna is just in Jerry Jones head.

Mark my words- That team is headed to salary cap hell. (The Cowboys, not the Dolphins).

[Feel Real Good]

Good deal for the Boys. I would have taken him on the Bucs for that.

[finnbluebucs]

Damn, I was looking for us to make a run at Crayton.

small contract all things considered in a year where there's a bunch of $$$ available and few good WR's in FA.

[Chucky4mayor]

I wonder if he is benefiting from having TO on the other side?  he should take him out for a nice steak.

Looks like Gruden will take a look at Glenn if he can still play after his knee.
