Miles Austin Rumors & News

The Dallas Cowboys have traditionally been a good place for college free agents who went undrafted. Everybody has, of course, heard the story of Tony Romo and Miles Austin, to name just two of the more recent examples of undrafted free agents who eventually ended up as stars for the Cowboys. Over the last three years, 11 UDFA players made the Cowboys' opening-day roster.

Dez Bryant and Miles Austin combine to be one of the most potent wide receiver combinations in the NFL. However each has had injury and durability concerns. The #3 wide receiver position has been a topic of discussion for me since the 2011 season. The Cowboys needed to add someone to the depth chart that could either play the slot and move Austin outside or the other way around. Dwayne Harris wasn't ...

The Cowboys top two wide receivers are as good as you'll find when they're healthy, and that's the rub. Miles Austin's hamstrings have been an issue for a while, and Dez Bryant has had his share of bumps including the finger issue from the end of last year. Luckily, Bryant says his finger is just fine now. So, who do we have behind that dynamic duo?

Like every other NFL team, the Cowboys have to be under the salary cap by 4:00 pm ET tomorrow. By cutting Gerald Sensabaugh, and with the recent restructurings of DeMarcus Ware, Miles Austin, Brandon Carr, Jason Witten and Ryan Cook, the Cowboys were already safely under this year's $123 million salary cap - but only briefly. Tagging Anthony Spencer put the Cowboys over the cap again, to the tune of about $6.8 million. And while the fact that the Cowboys are one of only four teams still over the cap makes for good headlines and alarmist commentary, this situation does not catch the Co...

The Dallas Cowboys were busy today, restructuring five players' contracts in a search for salary cap relief heading into the 2013 NFL league year. One of those players was wide receiver Miles Austin, who had been a potential cap casualty for the Cowboys if he hadn't agreed to the new deal. Earlier this week, we speculated that the Miami Dolphins could be interested in Austin if he hit the free agent market. Now, that's no longer an option. Austin's new deal transferred some of his $6.7 million base salary into a signing bonus, allowing Austin to not take a pay cut, but letting the C...

Well isn't this a fun day? It seems that Owner/GM Jerry Jones and his Exec VP son Stephen were getting tired of other teams leading the NFL ticker.
