Report: Cowboys RT Doug Free Agrees To A Pay Cut

Calvin Watkinsย of ESPN Dallas reports that the Cowboys RT Doug Free has agreed to a pay cut.

  • Ed Werder reports that Free has agreed to reduce his salary by 50 percent.ย 

Free, 29, was set to makeย $7 million for the upcoming season and given his recent struggles, it’s hard to justify that kind of money. Free will now make $3.5 million in 2013. Dallas showed some interest in free agent right tackles such as Eric Winston and Tyson Clabo, but it appears as though they used this as leverage to get Free to reduce his salary.

Ian Rapoport is reporting that the Cowboys are trying to get RTย Doug Free to agree to aย “substantial” pay cut.ย Rapoport adds that the Cowboysย are trying to draw the situation out as they believeย “time (is) on their side.

Dallas reportedly had interest in Tyson Clabo before he signed with Miami and, as of now, Eric Winston is really the onlyย serviceableย option stillย availableย on the open market.
