Nose tackle Jay Ratliff has met with the Kansas City Chiefs and Chicago Bears.

Ratliff was released by the Dallas Cowboys earlier this month with a failed physical tag due to a lingering hamstring injury.

The Miami Dolphins are also interested in Ratliff.

The Dallas Cowboys have agreed to sign Everette Brown.

Brown was a 2009 second round pick out of Florida State by the Carolina Panthers.

Brown was with the San Diego Chargers in 2011, was cut by the Detroit Lions in 2012 and cut in late August by the Philadelphia Eagles.

The Dallas Cowboys are currently projected to be at least $31 million over the 2014 salary cap.

One NFL executive said that the Cowboys face "a train wreck" in terms of their cap issues.

The next closest team is the New Orleans Saints at $13 million more than the cap.

Jay Ratliff was released this week and will count $7 million against the cap.

The Cowboys will be forced to cut more players and slash contracts to get to the cap.

The Dallas Cowboys are no longer sold on DeMarco Murray as their franchise running back.

With Murray again missing time due to injury, the Cowboys are internally considering upgrading at running back, "possibly in a big way" ahead of the trade deadline.

Murray's productivity has not been an issue when he has been available to play.

Chris Greenwood turned down practice squad offers from three other teams to remain with the Detroit Lions.

The Dallas Cowboys, Philadelphia Eagles and Seattle Seahawks expressed interest.

Greenwood was selected by the Lions in the fifth round of the 2012 NFL Draft.

The Dallas Cowboys will be "conservative" in bringing back DeMarcus Ware back from his strained quadriceps.

Ware has refused to rule himself out of Sunday's game agains the Philadelphia Eagles.

“Nothing about him physically would surprise me,” Jerry Jones said Friday on KRLD-FM. “We hope that if we are conservative -- and he’d be the first to tell you if this were the Super Bowl, he’d be playing in it unquestionably, or if this were frankly a key game at the end of the year -- but he and we want to look at the bigger picture, which is the season. So we probably are being and will be conservative there. 

“But nothing surprises me. He’s Superman.” 

The Dallas Cowboys have released Jay Ratliff.

The Cowboys put Ratliff on the PUP list at the start of training camp after he suffered a strained hamstring in the conditioning run. 

Ratliff is a four-time Pro Bowler at defensive tackle.

The Cowboys didn't see Ratliff play a single snap for the $18 million guaranteed he received on the his extension that began this year.

DeMarco Murray will miss Week 7's game for the Dallas Cowboys against the Philadelphia Eagles with a sprained knee.

Murray could return in Week 8 against the Detroit Lions.

Murray was injured in the Cowboys' win on Sunday night over the Washington Redskins.

The Dallas Cowboys lost to the Denver Broncos in Week 5, but they managed to stay in the game and even had a fourth quarter lead.

Tony Romo threw for 506 yards with 14.1 yards per attempt.

“You certainly want to play with that same style,” Jason Garrett said. “Statistically, I don’t know if we’ll replicate that. It hasn’t been done very much in the history of the franchise. So you just try to play with that same attacking, aggressive style.” 

“There’s no other way,” Dez Bryant said. “I think he’s exactly right. There’s no other way to put it. We are explosive. We are, and that’s our identity, an explosive offense. I think we showed that.”
