Dallas Morning News columnist Rick Gosselin and Cowboys beat writer Brandon George joined Fox Sports Southwest's Erin Hartigan for SportsDay OnAir on Monday. Here are some highlights:

On Tyrone Crawford appearing on TNA wrestling show while injured:

George: "The most shocking thing was Jerry Jones wasn't out there with him, right? Tyrone Crawford, when you look at it, it's probably not a smart move. He was hurt in individual drills during training camp. He blew his Achilles out in a non-contact injury. It's probably less contact that he would be doing in practice, so it's not that big of a deal."

Gosselin: "These are the Cowboys. This is what they do. It's all a part of the circus that is the Dallas Cowboys."


On the Cowboys interest in Brandon Flowers:

George: "I don't believe the Cowboys have much interest. When you look at it, the Cowboys have about $10 million in salary cap space. I think they want to keep a couple million going into the season if they want to sign a player. They cant afford to sign a Pro Bowl player form last year. You would have to get rid of another cornerback. He doesn't fit very well. I don't think they will have much interest in Flowers when its all said and done."

Gosselin: "The interest is dictated by the lack of money. When a Pro Bowl player is on the street, you should have interest, but they don't have the money. That's the problem. Brandon Flowers is not going come here and take a bargain basement deal to play for the Cowboys."

George: "Its not like the Carr contract has worked out great for them. He took a step back last year. I don't know where you want to go with that. They pay him a lot of money. He needs to have a comeback season. Claiborne is in the same situation. He needs to bounce back as well."
