Miles Austin released Designated a post-June 1st cut By: Mike Krueger | Mar 11 2014, 6:45 pm
The Dallas Cowboys have also decided to part ways with veteran wide receiver Miles Austin and will designate him as a post-June 1 cut, according to a source.
Releasing Austin saves the Cowboys $5.5 million against the cap, but they don’t get the credit on those savings until after June 1. That money will likely go toward the Cowboys signing their draft picks this year.

FFToday's Take:Austin's breakout season was in 2009 (81 catches, 1320 yards, 11 TDs) but hasn't come close to those numbers since. He's battled chronic hamstring injuries and will likely have to prove his worth on a one-year deal with another team.
