Cowboys get $2 million in cap space

Remember when the Dallas Cowboys released defensive end Marcus Spears? Of course you do.
When that occurred, Spears was designated as a post-June 1 cut giving the Cowboys $2 million in salary cap space.
Well that time is here where the team picks up that extra monies and add up the savings with the paycut tackle Doug Free accepted, the team picked up $5.5 million in savings.
The Cowboys can use this extra cap space to take care of middle linebacker Sean Lee, entering the final year of his contract, maybe even outside linebacker Bruce Carter. The team can also make moves to secure the services of wide receiver Dez Bryant or grab another free agent.
It's doubtful if the Cowboys extend Bryant and Carter right now considering each has two years left on their deals.
But Lee seems to be a logical choice and talks could happen during training camp and continue through the season.
