FRISCO, Texas – The Cowboys officially parted ways with Tony Romo on April 4 but for financial purposes designated him a post-June 1 cut.
So, here in the first full week of June, Romo’s release suddenly creates $14 million in additional salary cap space as the club moves into the summer.
One reason for the post-June 1 designation was the ability to spread out Romo’s salary cap hit over two years. Another benefit is the Cowboys can carry over unused space into next year’s cap.
What might the Cowboys do with the extra room? The obvious answer is the essentials.
