The Dallas Cowboys and linebacker Sean Lee have agreed on a salary cut to keep him on the team in 2019, per a source.
Lee has agreed to reduce his base salary from $7 million to $3.5 million. He can make up $3.5 million in incentives.
But the new number in more in line with his age, injury history and new role as a backup to the rising young linebackers in Leighton Vander Esch and Jaylon Smith.
Lee, 33 has never played a full season since joining the Cowboys as a second-round pick in 2010. And he has not played five consecutive games since 2016.
