Why is it this team is so hesitant to take the $750,000 cap hit if they release Rolando McClain and yet, had no problem taking a $2 million dollar cap hit just last year when they cut LB Jasper Brinkley? Brinkley, who by the way played a grand total of zero games for Dallas. Don't they have more than enough space to eat it up?

David: It’s a great question, and it’s hard to answer. The Cowboys could absolutely afford to eat that money if they wanted to, but I honestly think it’s about the principle of the matter.
