A lot of football things have happened regarding the Dallas Cowboys since last season ended. One of the less than awesome things that has happened to the Cowboys over the last few months was the retirement of longtime center Travis Frederick. Fredbeard was a fan-favorite, a great player, and a model citizen in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. Losing his presence on the team week in and week out will have an impact.
There is more than nostalgia floating around when players retire, there are decisions to be made about salary cap finances. As we are now in the first week of June, the Cowboys are making a roster designation that is affected by that date.
