Ive read on www.dallascowboys.com
JOEL GONZALEZ, S. BERNARDINO, CA: With the release of T.O would the Cowboys have enough cap space to bring in Anquan Boldin? There are rumors he won't be returning to the Cardinals next season. I also believe it's time for Miles Austin to make a run at a starting role.
Josh: Well which do you want, Because you can't have both. Part of the reason Owens was released was to make way for guys like Austin, to give him his shot. Bringing in Bolding would only knock him down again. Besides, the Cowboys didn't save money against the cap by cutting 81. If they're going to re-sign DeMarcus Ware this off-season, the Cowboys are probably about done in free agency. You should definitely not expect any big signings.
Mickey: You are right about the last point you made, suggesting it's time for Austin to make a run at a starting job. But if you somehow made a deal for Boldin, then you are assuring yourself Austin isn't starting. Also, the answer to the first part of your question is no. Releasing T.O. counts $680,000 more against the cap than if you kept him, so the Cowboys did not clear off any new space.
Nick: No, they don't have enough space or anything to trade for him. I'm not sure if Austin has shown enough that the Cowboys can just count on him to start. But if emerges as the guy, that would be a big bonus for the team, not to mention his career considering he will probably be a free agent again next year.
