Dallas sends Crayton packing for San Diego

The Cowboys search for a trading partner to relieve themselves of wide receiver Patrick Crayton has finally come to an end, with the Chargers stepping up to the plate and offering a seventh round pick in next year’s draft.

NFL Network’s Jason LaCanfora was the first to break the story, first indicating a trade was close and then posting the news of Crayton’s departure from Big D to his Twitter account.

Crayton’s acquisition gives the Chargers enough weapons on offense to finally part ways with fellow receiver Vincent Jackson, and while a deal on that front isn’t thought to be close, San Diego’s front office will likely make a big push to get it done between now and tomorrow afternoon.

The front runner so far for Jackson’s services is Seattle, but other teams may get into the mix now that the Chargers motivation to trade him has increased.
