Jane Slater of NFL Media reports that the Cowboys picked up roughly $7.5 million of cap space by recently restructuring the contract of C Travis Frederick.
Dallas was in a tough spot in terms of their salary cap, so moves like this were expected.
Frederick, 26, is a former first-round pick of the Cowboys back in 2013. He’s entering the third year of his eight-year, $66.56 million that included $26.2 million guaranteed.
Frederick stands to make a base salary of $10 million and $6 million over the next two years of the agreement.
In 2017, Frederick appeared in all 16 games for the Cowboys and is rated by Pro Football Focus as the No. 2 center out of 36 qualifying players.
