Any possible June 1st cuts interesting to Dallas?
Actually, didn't they change it to May 12th or something?
I'm lost.
Yes.
There is also the designated June 1st option where teams can cut the player in the Spring but it still hit the books like a June 1st (May 12th) cut. Because of the designated option, many players that would have been June 1st (May 12th) cut already hit free agency in March.
Thanks for the info, I was wondering about the dates.
You probably know this, but they don't have to cut the player exactly on June 1st (May 12th). That is just the 1st day that it can happen. The Cowboys could cut Carr a week before game 1 and it would still hit the books like a June 1st (May 12th) cut.
Cut them all!

....starting with the fatties!!
Everything I've found says May 12th has nothing to do with June 1st cuts. It simply moved up the date a player can sign without counting against the comp pick equation. June 1st is still the date players can be cut with minimal implications and the date post June 1st designations savings hit.
