Cowboys cut Bledsoe - 3/2/2007
As expected, the Dallas Cowboys cut Drew Bledsoe on Thursday. Bledsoe, 35, who lost his quarterback job to Tony Romo after six turnover- and sack-plagued starts last season, was one of a number of aging players cut as teams adjusted their rosters to get more salary cap room for the free agent period that begins Friday. He is expected to be invited back to the Cowboys, although he is sure to be a backup at a reduced salary. |
