2021 is going to be a tough yr to find money.

Dallas cant afford to franchise Dak. So they either have to work it out to get a low 1st yr with a deal longer than 4yrs. Or slap him with the tag with the intention of trading him and draft a QB. Or just let him walk and draft a QB like BYUs wilson.

Players def need to be cut
Zuerlein, Brown, Canady, Thompson, C Jones. Frees up 9.5mil

Dallas def needs to keep Cooper, which will probably mean Gallup will be gone. So i see Cooper getting a restructure next yr can see them taking 15mil of his 20mil into a new signing bonus. Will free up 10mil.

With that Dallas could have close to 55mil in cap space. With a big part of that going to Dak if thats the route they go which i think they do. But i also think his first yr will be a low number. And i think he will sign for a longer deal with them injury guarantees to be high.

With Martin showing he can be moved outside and if McGovern can show something the rest of the yr, i can see Collins being traded. He would easily get Dallas a 2nd or a 3rd and something else.

Dallas def needs to bring back Aldon Smith.

Then there is the reports earlier in the yr that teams will be able to borrow from future caps. Because every team is going to feel the pinch of the cap in 2021.

Im starting to like what im seeing from guys like Gallimore, Jaylon and Wilson on the defensive side. Jaylon gets alot of flack because he's always on the screen. But there is no player on this defense that puts in more effort. The DTs have been covering him more and shielding him from opposing OL and hes been making plays. Wilson is playing like his JR yr in college where he was all over the field making plays. He's a hitter and IMO he makes Woods expendable this offseason.

Dallas has 1 more yr with Lawrence and they can free themselves. He's very good against the run but teams would rather take their chances loading up on his side and letting the right side beat them. I think next yr with Aldon having a whole offseason to get in football shape teams wont be able to do that anymore.

Dallas has questions going into next yr but they have alot already in place. Dallas will be fine with a healthy OL, Dallas will be better with a defense thats 1 yr into learning it.

How can you have a cut list that don't include Crawford. Perhaps he's just gone anyway. i though Gallup was under contract till 2022

Even if they cut the Cap to 175MM next year Dallas will be able to resign Dak and have money left over. They have 28 Million to roll over this year and next year they have 165MM committed to 40 players.

Even assuming a cap of 175MM they can restructure a couple of contracts and they wont need to cut anyone.

After the Brett Maher disaster there is ZERO chance Zeurlein is getting cut

Interesting stuff Lat. I enjoy your posts, whether I agree with them, or not it's always food for thought.
