DeMarcus Ware and the Cowboys are officially battling over a contract situation
The Dallas Cowboys had not asked All Pro pass rusher DeMarcus Ware to accept a pay cut, but that is about to change.
NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport is reporting that the team contacted Ware on Tuesday to pass along the message that they “definitely” want to keep him — but not at his current salary of $13 million per year.
The sticking point is Ware’s salary-cap figure, which increases 98 percent from $8.1 million last season to $16 million this year.
