Dallas Cowboys' salary cap space ahead of post-June 1 releases

The Dallas Cowboys were the fourth-lowest spending team in NFL free agency this offseason, but that isn't because the team is lacking salary cap space.

In fact, Dallas has among the most available space in the league and has several moves that could open up even more spending money, including a blockbuster extension with superstar Micah Parsons.

The Cowboys can also release players with the post-June 1 designation, with veterans like Donovan Wilson and Damone Clark being mentioned among the options.

A post-June 1 designation spreads a player's cap hit over two years, reducing the impact on cap space for the current season.

The Cowboys enter the post-June 1 release period with the sixth-most available cap space in the league at just over $30 million, and they could make some veteran releases to free up nearly $10 million more in the coming days.
