Honestly why bother? He doesn't have an NTC, and he's got one year left only. Dallas is not near the cap limit, they have no major RFA's to sign, at least not ones that will cost them an arm and a leg, and Cole's contract isn't totally onerous.
I'd rather take a chance on him restoring some small value to the team or becoming a half decent trade deadline asset then waste money on buying him out.
