Cowboys' Jeremy Mincey reports to camp; gets at least $500k raise in 2015
OXNARD, Calif. - Dallas Cowboys defensive end Jeremy Mincey ended a brief holdout over a contract extension by participating in practice Sunday at training camp.
The team restructured Mincey's deal to give him a $500,000 raise (minimum) in 2015, according to Clarence Hill of the Star-Telegram.
Dallas coach Jason Garrett said Mincey would get lighter work after missing the first three days of camp, including the first padded practice Saturday.
Garrett declined to discuss details of a conversation with Mincey, but the eighth-year player wants an extension after leading the team with six sacks and providing stability to an improving defense.
The 31-year-old Mincey, who showed up at the team's training camp site Saturday night, is set to earn $1.5 million in the final year of a two-year contract. He faced a $30,000 fine for each day missed.
