Dolphins signed S Chris Crocker to a one-year, $1.15 million contract. NFL Network's Adam Schefter reports the deal includes $300,000 guaranteed. Crocker adds competition for Yeremiah Bell and Keith Davis at strong safety. He could also see some action on the free side if Jason Allen fails to impress in training camp. Ideally, Allen will be the Week 1 starter and establish himself as something of a building block in the secondary. Related: Jason Allen rotoworld.com
Some info on Crocker: http://www.nfl.com/players/chriscrocker/profile?id=CRO017900 NFL.com has him listed as a FS, though.
LEAVE BRITNEY ALONE! Well seriously, We need the Depth at Saftey with Hill and Worrell most likely not going to be ready for the season.
This looks like a good signing, I know stats don't tell everything, its all I have to go by. Though not Spectacular, he seems solid and should be a contributor to the D
apparently atlanta is letting him go because he got burned so many times last year. still a solid tackler, but apparently his coverage was pretty poor.
Found an interesting side note from 2006, seems the Cowboys were in a bidding war with Atlanta for Crocker. http://cle.scout.com/2/515447.html
This t-c is going to one of the best that this team has had in years. The competition in the defensive backfield alone will be exciting! Marino1983
Scouts Inc Via Espn A grade of 60 puts in just inside the average starter category. So, maybe just another special teams guy too..
I truly like this sign. I saw Crocker a lot when he played in Cleveland and he reminds me of Yeremiah Bell: not a great coverage safety but he's got a knack for bigplays. Plus, he's an excellent blitzer and run stuffer. I wouldn't be surprised to see him start in the season opener. He's an under the radar kind of guy because he's always played for lousy teams, but if you check the actual tapes, you see a lot of things to like about him. Here's a guy who - under the right circumstances - might really have a breakout season like the one Bigby had for the cheeseheads. Very good sign.
If I wasn't already the proud adoptive Papa of my boy Josh, I'd adopt this kid just for the fun I could have with that name! Like "Now we're cookin with Crocker!" or "Betty's Baby Boy" or "better than the Pillsbury Doughboy", or "That's a Crock of Crocker" or . . . OK sorry, I'll shut up now. Couldn't help myself.
Yea, Alan1 posted this a few days ago, I think its a good signing. I read up on him and in 2006 the Cowboy's tried to sign him then, of course the cowboys coach being our head coach now.
He's alright, more of a depth chart move IMO. He never impressed here in Atlanta and would get burned pretty often on the pass but with as many injuries as we had back there last year we'll take all the bodies we can get.
