... The move follows an 11-pick draft for the
Cowboys that included eight defensive addi-
tions. Dallas selected two defensive tackles
in last week's draft, spending a third-round
pick on UCLA product Osa Odighizuwa and
a sixth-round choice on Kentucky's Quinton
Bohanna.

A year earlier, Dallas spent a third-round pick
on Oklahoma product Neville Gallimore, who
showed flashes of potential as a rookie in 2020.

In need of cap space, Dallas scanned its roster,
saw its depth at defensive tackle (which also in-
cludes starter Trysten Hill) and identified a way
to save some money.

Releasing Woods costs the Cowboys a reliable
defensive tackle, but saves them $2.13 million in
2021, which was the final year of his deal, and
doesn't add any dead cap to Dallas' 2021 total.

Another candidate for such a release, should the
Cowboys deem it necessary: receiver Cedrick Wil-
son, whose contract nearly mirrors Woods' deal in
that it is in its last year and doesn't account for any
dead cap.

We'll see what other moves await the Cowboys, who
now have $9.6 million in cap space, per Over The Cap.
