Insider: Cowboys may be cutting TWO Pro-Bowl starters!
These would be significant changes for the Cowboys!
While the Dallas Cowboys continue to try to pick up the pieces of their season that ended far earlier than anticipated thanks to their postseason setback against the San Francisco 49ers, they're reportedly made a decision regarding two key parts of the roster.
According to Bobby Belt of 105.3 The Fan, “things are headed” towards the Cowboys parting ways with receiver Amari Cooper and pass rusher DeMarcus Lawrence.
“Feels like this is where things are heading,” Belt tweeted on February 4. “Stephen [Jones] sounded like he was laying the foundation for it this week, and a number of people connected to the decisions are anticipating it to come to fruition. Both players are still stars and wouldn’t be unemployed for very long.”
Lawrence is slated to carry a cap hit of $19 million in 2022, while Cooper will have a cap hit of $22 million. Both are in the middle of multi-year contracts.
During this past season, Cooper hauled in 68 passes for 865 yards and eight touchdowns. Meanwhile, Lawrence missed ten games with a broken bone in his foot.
