WR Michael Floyd 23, 3 yrs 5.2 million SPD 90, CTH 85, CIT 88, RTE 80, RLS 89, AWR 57
MLB Brandon Spikes 26, 1 yr 5 million

I do this trade because I would like to get younger at WR and also upgrade my LB spot and having Spikes help Lee in the middle really gives me the athleticism I want in my front 7. Also it helps me out to get out of Austin's contract.[/QUOTE]
Trade Rejected
An important issue was raised with this trade. The Cowboys have $3.23M in cap space and Austin has a $7M bonus. I'm pretty sure the bonuses are prorated, so I don't know exactly how much is left with his 4 remaining years, but it's likely it would put the Cowboys over the cap (especially when you factor in taking on the contracts of Floyd and Spikes).
