FRISCO, Texas -- With Tony Romo’s impending release from the Dallas Cowboys and move to the CBS broadcast booth, let’s look at the cap ramifications involved in such a move.
The Cowboys are expected to designate Romo as a post-June 1 release, which will save them $14 million against the salary cap in 2017 but they won’t receive the credit until June 2. Romo will count $10.7 million against the cap this season and $8.9 million next season.
Should the Cowboys just outright release, they will save $5.1 million against the cap this year but he will count $19.
