DMN Blog: Cowboys add 2009 cap room
by Todd Archer
When the Cowboys promoted tight end Rodney Hannah from the practice squad for the final week of the season, they also created $5.7 million in salary-cap space for 2009.
Hannah could have received the $5.7 million had he blocked four punts in the season finale at Philadelphia, but he was not active. By not reaching the incentive that money rolls into the '09 cap.
Some of that money will be eaten up by incentives (like the $1 million Zach Thomas received) but the Cowboys figure to have around $10 million when free agency begins in March.
