Owen Daniels got released. Saw it coming but I'm going to miss OD :smith:

Aw :( Part of me wonders if his interview about how he believes he's earned the right to finish out his contract contributed to this. $4.5m in created cap space, but also a hole created in my heart. Guess we'd better sign Graham now

e: this is especially sad because he had offered to restructure in order to stay on the Texans

So last year he converted a bunch of base salary into a signing bonus to get the Cowboys under the cap and now that all gets added in this year.

Eh they still get $7.5m in cap relief, and they're still ridiculously over the cap aren't they?

Nah, they're under enough to sign rookies and assorted stopgaps now.

Yeah, they do get $7.5m in cap relief, but it would've been like $12m if they hadn't had to do that salary conversion last year.

Well they were still getting hosed by the cap penalty for not sticking to the collusion, correct? And now they're out from under that?
