Cowboys handling of Allen Hurns’ release shows that the business side of football takes precedence

When the Dallas Cowboys signed Allen Hurns to a two-year, $12 million deal last offseason, it felt like the team was getting a great bargain. After all, it doesn’t seem that long ago when he was coming off a 1,000+ yard, 10 touchdown season, swaying the Jacksonville Jaguars to sign him to a four-year, $40 million deal. We all knew what he was capable of and we were excited about it.

But after a season where he had a career low in both receptions (20) and yards (295), suddenly that deal didn’t appear so favorable.
