BREAKING: Dallas Cowboys Release LB Jaylon Smith – Full Details And Instant Reaction

Jaylon Smith has been released by the Dallas Cowboys. Chat Sports host Tom Downey of the Cowboys Report is LIVE with this shocking Cowboys roster move for the 3-1 Cowboys and head coach Mike McCarthy. Jerry Jones and the Dallas Cowboys free up nothing on the salary cap in 2021 by releasing Smith, but they save $5M against their 2022 cap. Jaylon Smith had 5 years, $50.75M left on his contract. His release leaves behind $16.6M of dead cap to the Cowboys: 2021: $9.8M ($7.2M cash) and 2022: $6.8M.

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones spoke with Smith today about the decision, according to sources. By releasing Smith, Dallas must feel like LB Keanu Neal is up to the task puts the team in position where they can move on from Smith. A 2nd round pick in 2016, Neal had a great 2018 season but struggled to regain that form since. We expect a Mike McCarthy press conference soon but for now, Tom Downey is THE authority on Jaylon Smith being cut by the Dallas Cowboys.
