The Facts:
The Cowboys announced that Austin agreed to restructure his contract. The team also announced a previously reported move to alter the deal of TE Jason Witten and others. The moves are designed to drop the Cowboys under the salary cap before the start of the league year on March 12.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
According to PFT, Austin did not take a pay cut, but did shift some of his $6.732 million base salary to a signing bonus in order to spread the cap hit out over the three years left on his deal. Like all the other restructuring around the league, it is a save now and pay later deal that will mean more salary cap squeezes in the years to come for the Cowboys.
