Entering 2014, there were initial plans to evaluate Crawford in the 3-technique defensive tackle spot vacated by free agent Jason Hatcher, but after the signing of Henry Melton he was kept at defensive end. During the regular season Melton struggled as he recovered from offseason surgery and worked through a groin strain, so Crawford was forced to play defensive tackle in week 3 against the New Orleans Saints and would earn the starter job. He finished with three sacks and 29 quarterback pressures.
In 2015, Crawford was signed to a five-year, $45 million contract ($25.7 million guaranteed). He was limited with a torn rotator cuff in his right shoulder that required offseason surgery, suffered in the second game of the season against the Philadelphia Eagles.[8] He still managed 44 tackles, 5 sacks (third on the team), and 27 quarterback pressures (third on the team).

On October 15, he was placed on injured reserve after undergoing season-ending hip surgery.[13] He finished with 2 tackles (one for loss), one sack and one quarterback pressure.
On July 28,
Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy announced Crawford's intention to retire from professional football on March 25, 2021.[18]
