Facelift for the Dallas Cowboys
As a long time Dallas Cowboys fan I was slightly shocked to find out they had cut Marcus Ware. Not only has Ware been their best player for years but he is one of the faces of the franchise. This was however a smart move as his last 2 seasons did not warrant the salary he would have commanded this year. Ware will likely go to the hall of fame one day and maybe get his ring with the newly signed Denver Broncos.
Miles Austin on the other hand wasn't as much of a surprise. The only real surprise was how much he fell off the NFL map after he got paid a few years ago. One of the many mistakes Cowboys management made by paid big money to flash in the pan replaceable players. In today's NFL quality receivers come a dime a dozen so there is no reason to pay a WR unless he is a dominate one.
Now the faces of the franchise would be Tony Romo and Jason Witten. Both Romo and Witten are nearing the end so I expect heavy promotion for the Cowboys to promote Sean Lee and Dez Bryant as future faces of the franchise. Risky business as Lee is often injured and Bryant is a fire cracker waiting to explode.....Till will tell.
