Default Dan Connor released
Spotrac.com ‏@spotrac
#Cowboys clear $3M in cap space by releasing LB Dan Connor, but still sit at an estimated $125.7M
1. Brandon Magee will beat out Ernie Sims for the backup WILL/MO roster spot.

2. Ron Leary will start at right guard over Bernadeau.

3. Joseph Randle, Terrance Williams and Gavin Escobar will have more combined TD's than DeMarco Murray, Miles Austin and Jason Witten.

4. Bruce Carter makes the Pro Bowl.

5. The starting OL will be Smith-Livings-Frederick-Leary-Free

Not. Surprised. Clears space and gives another a chance to step up

About time. Free/Vickers/Spears next?

Thought boys were under cap already though... guess not.

Just read that Bernadeau, Scandrick and Ratliff will be restructured by day's end.

Interesting that Livings won't be restructured...

Vickers will save over a million if released and Free needs to be cut and tender Jim a June 1st cut. You do not need to wait until June 1st to make June 1st cuts.

Extend Romo and either sign Spencer long term or trade him, then we will have great cap space to add good players that will help this team.

He shows to have been restructured.

Restructure bonus: $985,000

New Base Salary: $715,000

Correct about not having to wait on June 1 cuts, but you don't get the full cap benefits unti > June 1.

Interesting to see if something goes down with Free today. We don't need those savings immediately so it might not but I fully expect he's not playing here for his current base salary in 2013

I actually like Connor, but no way he's a Tampa 2 MLB. This isn't really a surprise, even if we didn't have cap issues.

I think we have to be targeting LBers in the draft now...there is 0 depth at that position and our two good ones have bad injury histories.

My theory is that they are restructuring all players that they plan to keep. If Free is not restructured, then I expect him to be a June 1st cut.

If they restructure a guy like Bernadeau just to save 1M under the cap, then I would expect them to restructure any player that saves more than that amount unless they are not planning to keep that player.

Yes I know but you get some now and it will be enough to get is under the cap, then we can sign say Winston and be right at the cap and know June 1st we will have more coming off

Win win in my eyes

Be almost pointless to release spears. Will only be a 600000 savings, I would rather have him as a 4-3 depth
