NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport reports the extension is worth $45 million, with $25.7 million in guarantees and $17.4 million fully guaranteed, according to a source involved in the deal.

The Cowboys and Crawford both hoped to get an extension done prior to Sunday night's tussle with rival New York Giants.
