Is this an addition to the 19 million in space we already have since they raised the cap to 180 million?
That changes things. If they get Dak under contract we will have money to improve our team. There needs to be some urgency to get this contract done by both sides. Both the Cowboys organization and Dak want a long term deal in Dallas. Let’s get the deal done by the start of free agency.Believe that is the case. Insurance money in case they need to tag Dak again lol

Honestly were better off with Dak. If and when he signs it'll be maybe a 20 mil cap hit so factor that in with the draft and a bunch of really good guys taking 1 year rental deals we will be in good shapeThe urgency is to get some team to give you top picks for Dak before the draft. Most cost effective strategy Jerry could take. No way we are competing for a SB anytime soon with our defense.
I've been hearing the issue has been with Daks agent. Didnt want to keep negotiating last year due to him switching agencies and this year they havent met. Hes thinking more about his pockets than Daks futureThat changes things. If they get Dak under contract we will have money to improve our team.

Yep and eventually he'll need to get some of these deals done now that he's with the new agency. He had 3 guys play on the franchise tag last year, including Dak.I've been hearing the issue has been with Daks agent.

In the end it was very smart, we weren't winning in the playoffs with Dalton. Don't get me wrong here, I am NOT saying Jerry did a good thing.We clearly didn’t need that $25m given the quality team the Jones’ put out this past year.
Listen we can ignore the elephant in the room all we want but the Joneses are not trading Dak. I mess around on other threads proposing us to draft Mac Jones and trading Dak for multiple picks. It’s fun in fantasy land but that is not gonna happen. I cry with laughter when I here the talking heads say Dak does not want to be a Cowboy or Jerry does not want him.The urgency is to get some team to give you top picks for Dak before the draft.

You can fix a defense in one offseason.The urgency is to get some team to give you top picks for Dak before the draft. Most cost effective strategy Jerry could take. No way we are competing for a SB anytime soon with our defense.

Dak can always override his agent. Dak has lots of pressure on him from the Players association to get top dollar. It’s not as simple to get a contract done as many think. I laugh at the notion this could have been completed two years ago. France wants Dak to be a free agent.I've been hearing the issue has been with Daks agent.

He can cash in sure. But how much more money a year does Dak make being the QB in Dallas? He makes bank in endorsement money. You think he would be getting all of that money playing in Jacksonville or Washington?There are about 14 teams that need a QB. That's about 44% of the league. If I was Dak, I'd be trying to cash in too.
The salary cap going down is going to effect some big money players, but it's really going to create a lot of minimal contracts for the bottom end players. The UDFA market over the next couple of years could hold the keys to victory.
Ok so if we let Jaylon and the punter Jones go that will save 9 million more. Is there any other way we can get cap relief besides restructuring?No. If you are looking at Over the Cap and it shows over $19 million in cap space, that includes their estimate of the rollover. Spotrac shows us with $27 million in cap space and that's also with the rollover added in. One difference is Spotrac is using $185 million as the NFL hard cap and Over the Cap is using $180.5 million.
So it's not clear how much space we have, it's probably somewhere between $19 and $27 million but those numbers INCLUDE the $25 million in rollover dollars. Dak alone will eat that up + some.
The only way we get cap space to remake the D, for example, is restructure more contracts which likely will include Elliott which would be stupid IMO.
