Decision looming: Should Cowboys cut LB Sean Lee’s salary or just cut him from roster?

After contemplating retirement over the last month, linebacker Sean Lee has decided he wants to play in 2019.

Now the Dallas Cowboys must decide whether to cut the nine-year veteran or bring him back at a reduced salary.

Lee, 33, certainly won’t return at his $7 million salary for 2019.

The bigger question is what salary can you justify at all to bring back an aging and oft-injured player who has not been on the field for five consecutive games since 2016 and has never played a full season since being taken in the second round in 2010.
