Cowboys officially released WR Miles Austin

The Dallas Cowboys were reportedly set to release wide receiver Miles Austin, who was designated as a post-June 1 release. From the Dallas Morning News:

"The Dallas Cowboys have also decided to part ways with veteran wide receiver Miles Austin and will designate him as a post-June 1 cut, according to a source.Releasing Austin saves the Cowboys $5.5 million against the cap, but they don’t get the credit on those savings until after June 1. That money will likely go toward the Cowboys signing their draft picks this year."

Then Ian Rapoport tweeted out that Miles Austin had been officially released. Could be Rapoport just rehashing the news, or it was officially filed. It would be interesting if they outright released him.
