Ware was slated to make $12.25 million in 2014 and would count $16 million against the salary cap. By cutting Ware, the Cowboys open up $7.4 million dollars on the cap.
DeMarcus Ware will go down as a legendary Cowboy, even if the Cowboys do end up cutting him.

For Dallas, if Ware is gone, they now move on to their free agents along the defensive line, Jason Hatcher and Anthony Spencer. They'll be hoping to keep at least one, if not both, with Ware now out of the picture.
