Cowboys release McCoy with injury waiver
by Michael McClymont from on (#57239)
The Dallas Cowboys released defensive tackle Gerald McCoy on Tuesday after the veteran suffered a season-ending quad injury Monday, the team announced.
McCoy signed a three-year, $18-million deal with the Cowboys in March, but it included an injury waiver on the 32-year-old's quad that allowed Dallas to cut him if it were injured.
McCoy earned only the $3-million signing bonus in his contract. His $2.5-million base salary and $750,000 roster bonus are off the books.
McCoy ruptured his quad tendon on the first day of padded practice during training camp.
