Kyle Ortonย &ย Anthony Armstrong

According to Calvin Watkins of ESPN, the Cowboys have restructured QB Kyle Orton‘s contract.

Todd Archerย reports that the Cowboys released WRย Anthony Armstrongย on Wednesday.

These moves will free upย $1 million in cap space for the Cowboys.

Will Allen & Justin Durant

Following these moves, Dallas officially signed free agents Will Allen and Justin Durant on Wednesday.

Durant receivesย a two-year contract, while Allen has agreed to a one-year deal.

Todd Archer mentions that bothย Durant and Allen will both be given the opportunities toย compete for starting jobs during training camp.

Doug Free

Todd Archer ofย ESPN Dallasย reports that the Cowboys will notย restructureย Doug Free‘s contract like was previously reported.

———-

ESPN’s Adam Schefterย is reporting that the Cowboys will restructure OTย Doug Free‘s contract to free up some extra cap space.

Free, 29, signed a four-year deal worth $32 million that included $17 million guaranteed back in 2011.

He’s been very disappointing since then and has been mentioned as a possible release candidate for months now. Apparently, the Cowboys feel as though he’s still salvageable. We’ll have to see if they move him to guard next year.

The Cowboys could always free up additional cap space by working out long-term contract extensions for QB Tony Romo and DE Anthony Spencer.
