IRVING — Dallas Cowboys middle linebacker Sean Lee, the team leader in tackles and interceptions, wasn’t seen during the early part of practice Friday at Valley Ranch.

Lee had been limited in practice Wednesday and Thursday after having to leave Monday night’s game at Chicago with a strained neck. Lee had missed back-to-back games with a strained hamstring before returning to play the Bears on Monday.

Also not practicing Friday for the Cowboys: piece of shit weak-side linebacker Bruce Carter, pussy cornerback Morris Claiborne and wide receiver Dwayne Harris. All three players have strained hamstrings because the Cowboys training staff is a fucking joke and aren’t expected to play Sunday against Green Bay.

Justin Durant was working in Lee’s place at middle linebacker in practice Friday. Durant has missed the last three games with a strained hamstring.

Ernie Sims has worked at first-team weak-side linebacker in practice this week in place of Carter.

Carter and Claiborne were working in the Cowboys’ weight room during practice. Harris and defensive lineman Tyrone Crawford were on the practice field Friday working on the side with resistance cords with a Dallas athletic trainer.

at least we didn't sign Lee to an expensive extension

IRVING, Texas -- Dallas Cowboys cornerback Orlando Scandrick signed a two-year contract extension on Friday that guarantees him an additional $9 million, according to multiple sources.
Scandrick signed a six-year, $28.2 million deal in 2011 with $10 million guaranteed, but this new extension will make him a Cowboy until 2018.
The Cowboys guaranteed Scandrick's salary for the next three seasons.
On the season, Scandrick is tied for the team lead with 14 pass breakups and is third with two interceptions. Scandrick has taken over the starting cornerback position from Morris Claiborne and has been one of the more productive defensive backs on the team.

IRVING, Texas – The first reaction to the Cowboys extending Orlando Scandrick's contract two years might be confusion.

But when you look at what the Cowboys and Scandrick agreed to with the deal, then you will see it will help the team create salary-cap room over the next three years when it will need it most.

Scandrick is guaranteed $9 million on the two-year extension, but only $4.5 million is fully guaranteed at this point.

The Cowboys added $1 million to his base salary in 2014 to bring it to $4.5 million and increase his cap figure to $6.601 million. Oh my gosh, why did they do that? Well, they were planning on restructuring Scandrick’s deal anyway and this allows them to spread out the base salary that will be turned into bonus money over five years.

That move will save the Cowboys about $2.6 million in 2014. Without the extension, the Cowboys could have saved about $1.5 million.

In 2015, Scandrick has a base salary of $1.5 million. He was scheduled to make $5 million. In 2016-18, he has base salaries of $3 million each year. He was set to make $10 million ($5 million each year) from 2015-16.

So the Cowboys have saved $4.5 million over the next three years on the deal and Scandrick has gained as much as $9 million in guarantees, knowing he will be in Dallas and not a cap casualty in the near future.

Scandrick has had his best year, though the Chicago game was not a shining moment. He has shown he can be more than a nickel cornerback and has not given the job back toMorris Claiborne. Scandrick is in his fifth season and is just 26. The team hopes he can continue to play at this level for the next couple of years, which would make this move even better.

The Cowboys will be in a tough salary-cap position and will have to restructure contracts (Tony Romo, Jason Witten, Brandon Carr and potentially DeMarcus Ware) and have decisions to make on players’ futures (Miles Austin).

With Dez Bryant, Tyron Smith and Dan Bailey needing new deals over the next two seasons, the added cap space will only help the Cowboys. Bruce Carter had been in the list of players in need of contract extensions, but he has played his way off the list. PerhapsDeMarco Murray, who is also signed through 2014, can play his way on to the extension

this deal still has (3 years worth of) guaranteed money, pushes money down the road, and sounds like it has every intention of pushing more money down the road.

Yeah, let's just dig a bigger hole. Sounds like a good idea to me.

Why don't we extend Romo too while we're at it.

Nothing really wrong with it other than we are continuing to borrow cap room from funny money deals and give guaranteed money to players like Scandrick.

At this stage, I am numb to it.

We've already let players literally steal money for years on end.

As long as Scandrick is on the field contributing in the years he has guaranteed money, it is almost a pathetic victory.
