Want the skinny on all the Cowboys current free agents? Nick Eatman gives you the facts and figures in this article.
Money quote:
But you have to read the whole article. We learn that the Cowboys bought back the fourth year of their contracts for $10. Yup, you read that right, 10 dollars. Of course that's not what they are going to get paid, that was just the cost of adding an additional year at a pre-determined cost.
Still, how did that transaction work? Did Jerry Jones stop Witten or James on the way to the break room, pull out his money clip, and peel off a $10 bill? Or perhaps he just sent the money to their PayPal account. No wait, I got it. Jerry took them both out for a couple of happy meals at McD's, hooked them up with extra-large milkshakes, and said "By the way, I just bought back the fourth year of your contracts. Do you want some ketchup packets for your fries?"
