Dallas Cowboys LB Sean Lee (knee) had $2 million of his $3 million base into bonus pay, but it did not clear any space for the 2016 season. As far as his knee is concerned, he said ‘I’ll be ready to go for the first game.’

Footballguys View: Lee is the most important player in the Cowboys defense, which is thin upfront and lacking proven pass rushers. They can’t afford to lose him for the season opener against the Giants.
