Cowboys May Cut DT Glover and/or DE Ellis

So, the coaching staff/front office mavens need to figure out the economics of this situation and see if they can afford to try to get these guys into the fold and who will have to be jettisoned in order to make room for them.

I suspect it will not be an easy fit, but until I knew the economics and the cap implications, I couldn't ignore two guys both of whom would upgrde the DL.

Tough call in my mind...

I feel exactly the same. Ellis or Glover would be studs next to Griffin and Griffin might become even more ferocious if he had decent company. It's a shame we can't upgrade the D-line because our backs are up against the cap. I can't envision the capologists coming up with a solution. Oh well.
