Cowboys rework Dak Prescott's deal, free up $5M in cap

The Dallas Cowboys carved out $5 million in cap space by restructuring the contract of quarterback Dak Prescott.

The team announced Tuesday that it converted $6.5 million of Prescott's base salary this season into a signing bonus.

Prescott and the Cowboys agreed to a four-year, $160 million extension in March.

The team restructured running back Ezekiel Elliott's deal last week, creating $7 million in cap room.
