Jerry: DeMarcus Ware might not be with Cowboys next season





Ware might returned to the Cowboys after all.

Report: Cowboys, Ware both open to new deal

DeMarcus Ware and Cowboys owner Jerry Jones met Tuesday at Valley Ranch in an attempt to avoid the player’s release, David Moore of the Dallas Morning News reports. That didn’t happen. But a source with knowledge of the discussion said the two men parted with this understanding:

Ware knows to get the sort of contract he expects the offer will likely come in the first few days of free agency. If that offer doesn’t come he has told the Cowboys he would be willing to return. The source said Ware also indicated that before he signs with another team he will inform the Cowboys of the offer.

The Saints were an unexpected bidder for Byrd’s services. When the free agent signing period opened on Tuesday afternoon, New Orleans had slightly less than $2.5 million of salary cap space.

Byrd’s contract contains $26.3 million in guarantees, which is a record for a veteran safety deal. It eclipses the $22 million guaranteed in the five-year, $41.25 million contract Dashon Goldson signed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers last year. Berry’s $34 million guaranteed is the most ever in a safety deal.

$12.3 million of Byrd’s deal is fully guaranteed at signing, which consists of an $11 million signing bonus and $1.3 million 2014 base salary. Byrd’s $6 million third day of the 2015 league year roster bonus is guaranteed for skill and injury. His $2 million 2015 base salary is guaranteed for injury and $6 million of his $7.4 million 2016 base salary is also guaranteed for injury. The roster bonus becomes fully guaranteed on the tenth day of the 2014 league year (March 20). Byrd’s 2015 base salary becomes fully guaranteed on the third day of the 2015 league year. The $6 million in 2016 becomes fully guaranteed if Byrd is on New Orleans’ roster come the third day of the 2016 league year.
