The Cowboys released Clinton-Dix on Thursday, Todd Archer of ESPN reports.
Clinton-Dix being released frees up $1.5 million in cap space for the Cowboys. The transaction comes as something of a surprise, considering that the team saw fit to ink Clinton-Dix to a one-year deal back in March, a move which reunited him with coach Mike McCarthy. The decision to now part ways with Clinton-Dix could be an indication that the Cowboys are confident in the health of Xavier Woods (groin).
