Cowboys Create Cap Space By Releasing DE Benson Mayowa, DT Vellano | Rob Phillips, Dallas Cowboys
It was not a major move, and not really surprising, but the Cowboys did make a personnel decision on Wednesday, releasing DE Benson Mayowa. It frees up over $2 million in cap space.
The Cowboys slotted a major contract into their 2018 salary cap this week with DeMarcus Lawrence signing his one-year, $17.143 franchise tag – and on Wednesday, the club created some extra cap space by releasing defensive end Benson Mayowa.
In 2016, the Cowboys signed Mayowa to a three-year deal worth roughly $8 million.
