    Marion Barber's time with the Dallas Cowboys has finally run out.

    Team owner and general manager Jerry Jones met with some players on Tuesday morning and told them not to bother reporting to training camp in San Antonio on Wednesday because they will be cut.

    Barber was one of those players, a league source told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter, along with Pro Bowl guard Leonard Davis and kicker Kris Brown.

    Cutting Barber frees up $4.75 million in salary-cap space. It is possible tackle Marc Colombo, who also met with Jones Tuesday morning, could be added to the list in the near future. A fourth-round pick in 2005, Barber established himself as a tough runner with the ability to get in the end zone, but after signing a seven-year, $45 million deal in 2008 that included $16 million guaranteed, his production fell off.
