The Cowboys have converted $12.5 million of Tony Romo's $13.5 million base salary into a signing bonus, clearing cap room in 2014.
Moves like this ensure future cap woes, but are needed by financially-strapped teams like Dallas simply to get under the 2014 cap. Romo's cap figure has now dropped from $21.773 million to $11.773 million. The Cowboys created $6.8 million on Monday by doing similar things with the contracts of CB Orlando Scandrick and MLB Sean Lee. They're now roughly $1 million over the cap.
