Cowboys Restructure LB Sean Lee’s Contract, Will Pay Him $3.5M Plus Incentives

According to Ian Rapoport, the Dallas Cowboys have agreed to restructure LB Sean Lee’s contract and ensure he remains with the team.

Rapoport reports that Lee will earn $3.5 million with an opportunity to earn his full $7 million salary by reaching incentives in the contract.   

Cowboys executive VP Stephen Jones said last month during an interview with 105.3 The Fan that there is “no one we would love to have back more” than Lee.

“What a special player he is being the wily veteran he is, he probably played the best in that [Rams] game,” Jones said, via the Dallas Morning News. “He had about 24 plays and I would say he played better, probably played the position better than anybody in that particular game. We want him back. I think he’s a leader on this football team.”

Lee, 32, is a former second-round pick of the Cowboys back in 2010. He’s entering the final year of his seven-year, $42.63 million that included $16.1 million guaranteed.

In 2018, Lee appeared in five games for the Cowboys and recorded 27 tackles, a half sack, a fumble recovery and a pass defense.
