The Dallas Cowboys are entering the offseason with a new coaching staff. The new staff will revamp the roster to fit its schemes, which will mean making difficult decisions and parting ways with players who have been key members of the past regime.

While the Cowboys are currently limited on cap space, they have several potential moves to free up room, including cutting players and restructuring contracts.

"There are a couple key starters who could be released to save big money, but that might hurt more than it helps," the article states. "Instead, Dallas will likely need to restructure contracts, shift money and be inactive in free agency, and maybe penny-pinch on guys like Damone Clark."

Clark's inclusion comes as somewhat of a surprise, given how thin the Cowboys are at linebacker, with Eric Kendricks and Nick Vigil hitting free agency, and DeMarvion Overshown unlikely to see the field until midseason.

NFL free agency opens at 4:00 p.m. ET on Wednesday, March 12, with the "legal tampering period" opening two days earlier on Monday, March 10.
