According to @RapSheet The #Cowboys contacted DeMarcus Ware today to let him know they want to keep him. But not at $13M per year.

Never thought he'd be cut in the first place. He'll be restructured or will cave and take a pay cut to stay IMHO.

Let me save 15 more pages of bandwidth. These are all the possible topics to be covered here.....

1. Ware sucks and let him go and take the cap hit
2. He still has a couple of good years left, pay the man his money
3. Restructure because the line can't be depleted anymore
4. Ask him to take a pay-cut with incentives from production
5. Trade him to a 3-4 team so he can extend his career
6. Offer him to Houston for the #1 overall and draft JF
7. Trade Romo to St Louis for the #2 and get Clowney
8. Jerry is killin this team and is a bad GM
9. Old man Kiffin won't leave Luby's
10. Garrett is a puppet
11. But, Romo is better than Eli
12. No he is not!
13. Look at his rings and MVP's
14. This is all Costa's fault, he couldn't even grow out his arms in the off-season
15. Why can't Stephen go back to school and take a couple of math courses
16. Sigh, Jerry went to eat dinner at P.F. Chang's, what is he thinking????

I think that about covers what is going to happen here :D

I guess this was the official "pay cut or release, your choice" phone call.....................................wonder what the response was.

Speaking of E-Lie, the league leader in interceptions and bone head plays, where have all the members of the E-Lie Love Group gone? You know, those "Cowboy Fans" who love to heap praise on the #1 NFL Goofball while bashing their own QB relentlessly.

Me too, but it won't be half like Free took. It'll be more like 75-80%. We'll shave a few million off, which is fine by me.

Yea, I agree..................I think Ware will probably take a 25% pay cut.

That would shave a little over $3 million off his salary this year.

Sounds right. And although I'd love if we could save even more, that 3M is quite a bit. From what I've heard, cutting Miles basically pays for the rookie class. Let's say we cut Costa/Parnell/Durant, that's 4M. So at that point we've got the rookies covered and have about 6M for FA's (assuming we're 1M over the cap currently). I wouldn't mind bringing in a pair of 3M players on D. That would go a long way towards helping us approach the draft without desperate needs (or quite as much).

I think that's a little light.

The last couple seasons, as others have posted Ware has made like $6 mil per season in base salary.

I don't see the Cowboys offering him $8-$9 mil a season based on what he's done over the last two seasons.

I think the Cowboys get him down to $6-$7mil per season over the next two seasons. And this will be a multiple season adjustment.

That would save the Cowboys about $12 mil against the cap between this season and next.
