Bledsoe heading out; Strahan sticking around?

INDIANAPOLIS (Feb. 26, 2007) -- Futures of tomorrow's stars were shaped at the NFL Scouting Combine last weekend, and the same now will continue with established veterans this week by the time free agency kicks off March 2.

The Cowboys are expected to release veteran quarterback Drew Bledsoe, which will free him to sign with another team and save Dallas $5.5 million against the salary cap. Bledsoe is due a $1 million roster bonus March 2, and the Cowboys do not intend to pay that or the $4.5 million in base salary he is scheduled to make in 2007.

While Dallas appears to have made its decision with Bledsoe, the Giants still have some of their own matters to address with veteran defensive end Michael Strahan.
