Dallas had $34 million in cap space at the end of this season and according to OTC they have $22 million in cap space for 2021 right now.
My question is, will that $34 million roll over into 2021 giving us $56 million in cap space?
If so, then I would imagine we are going to be in great shape cap wise next year. Especially compared to teams like the Eagles. They're around $50 million over the cap next year and looking at their contracts it's going to be tough to trim the fat from what I'm seeing.
If we sign Dak long term, he'll probably only have a cap hit of $22-25 million for the first year in his deal. Hopefully by 2022 the pandemic is behind us and with new TV deal the cap will rise significantly.
Cutting Chris Jones would free up $2 million.
Don't see any other releases that would create additional cap space since most key players are in the early years of their deals. Possibly T. Smith, but there would be an $8 million cap hit and only $5 million in cap space. Makes more sense to keep him for another season and hope he is healthy.
I guess the point of this thread is to discuss next year's cap situation.
