Don't be surprised if these 3 Cowboys are cut this offseason " Inside The Star

"The Cowboys could save $6.85 million in cap space by cutting Hooker this offseason. He is not under contract in 2027 and making this move just makes sense. You can get the same type of production for a smaller rookie deal or even someone on the free agent market that would be willing to take maybe like $2 million."

"By designating Steele as a post-June 1 cut, Dallas could save $14 million with a dead cap hit of $4.125 million. Steele, since signing that contract extension, has been a huge issue on the offensive line. Last year alone, coming back from his injury, surrendered six sacks."

The Dallas Cowboys plan to create $66 million in salary cap space by restructuring contracts for quarterback Dak Prescott, wide receiver CeeDee Lamb, and guard Tyler Smith. Additionally, the team faces decisions regarding wide receiver George Pickens, who will either receive a new contract or the $28 million franchise tag. To further increase cap flexibility, the Cowboys are considering cutting several underperforming players. Malik Hooker, a safety who struggled in the secondary, could be released to save $6.85 million. Terence Steele, an offensive lineman whose performance has declined since his contract extension, could be cut for $14 million in savings with a post-June 1 designation. These moves would allow the team to address roster gaps through free agency and the draft.
