The Dallas Cowboys reportedly signed defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence to a one-year voidable extension Friday, meaning $15 million of his base salary in 2020 has been converted into a signing bonus.
According to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero, the Cowboys will save $12 million in salary cap space this year by making the move.
The extra cap space could be used for a number of different things, including signing free-agent safety Earl Thomas or signing franchise quarterback Dak Prescott to an extension.
