Todd Archer/ESPN.com - The Cowboys have re-worked the contract of Tony Romo to save $6.552 million against the 2011 salary cap, according to sources.

Dallas did the same with linebacker DeMarcus Ware and wide receiver Miles Austin earlier this offseason.

As a result the Cowboys have roughly $18 million in salary cap room as they enter the season.

Romo was scheduled to make a $9 million base salary in 2011 but the team converted $8.19 million into signing bonus, which gives Romo a base salary of $810,000.
