The Dallas Cowboys have released five-time Pro Bowl offensive tackle Flozell Adams(notes) and safety Ken Hamlin(notes) two years after both signed long-term contracts.

Adams was coming off his 12th season and was the longest-tenured player on the team, having started 178 of his 182 games for Dallas. All of his Pro Bowl selections came between 2003-08.

“We will always be grateful for his outstanding durability, dependability and contributions to this team,” owner Jerry Jones said in a statement. “I don’t know that you could ask for any more than what Flozell Adams gave to the Dallas Cowboys for 12 seasons.”

Hamlin was a Pro Bowl pick in 2007, his first season in Dallas after spending the first four years of his career in Seattle.

“We appreciate what he brought to this team, and this defense, as a solid player and a competitor,” Jones said of Hamlin.

The cowboys get worse every day in my opinion.They have a dumb coach who is in over his head if they want to win a superbowl, an owner who waste's money on trying to have the best stadium rather than help out the team, a VERY over-rated quarterback in Tony Homo, and now this? The Cowboys have so much history but so little future it seems.....

Yea that stadium they built is definitly making Jones cut back. They havent really even signed anyone this free agency,now there cutting Hamlin a defensive leader.
