The calendar has officially flipped to June, and that means various teams are getting salary cap space added back in. Since the start of the new league year, teams were allowed to apply a June 1 designation to a release. That means a released player’s salary cap hit would be split between 2017 and 2018, but the 2017 cap space would not become available until June 2.
The most notable June 1st release is Tony Romo. He had $19.6 million in dead money, but that will be split over the next two years. In total June 1 transactions, the Cowboys receive $14 million in cap space tomorrow.
