Happy Trails
The Cowboys really didn't have any choice given his health and salary.Never should have let him go.
Posted this in another link but this was in Peter King's article this morning:
DeMarcus Ware could have kept playing. He was working out, and he was over neck and back ailments that wrecked his 2016 season in Denver. Ware is 34, and he had a $9 million offer on the table for 2017 (he won’t say from which team, but Dallas is a best guess), and he felt he could have the kind of reborn season that would satisfy the football devotee inside of him.
This man played every play for the first 8 years of his career. He gave up his health for this team and now he is feeling the effects. I've heard several veteran players say it's the practice, the toll it takes on the body and not the game itself that makes continuing to be a player no longer possible. I think this is what happen to Ware. He still lives in Dallas and has stated he'd love to return to the Cowboys... but eventually the body can no longer do what the mind tells it to.Wow I'm shocked I thought he'd want to go back to dallas one more year but man what a career good for him. Glad he was a cowboy.
Just for a day... yes. Retire a Cowboy.It's time. We need to bring him home now.

I believe he will be in the Cowboys Ring of Honor in 3 years and a first ballot Pro Football Hall of Famer.
I bet the Rams offered 9M. He met with Wade prior to announcing his retirement.Posted this in another link but this was in Peter King's article this morning:

I'm pretty certain that Dallas had the $9 million offer on the table. I wish I had a solid reference on the recordI bet the Rams offered 9M. He met with Wade prior to announcing his retirement.
