Kick that can!



(He's presently scheduled for "zero'' salary in the final year of his contract, when he's 33. This move will change that.)

‘Change that’. As in add even more to the $13.2 million they will already be paying in 2025 to not even have him under contract.

The team just digs those holes deeper and deeper.

This was bound to happen. It was the whole reason for the two voidable years on the end of the deal.

 

[DoctorChicken]

Probably to make room for Brady as Dak’s backup

 

[CATCH17]

Sooooo does this mean we can cut him in a couple years?

 

[Risen Star]

But team sources tell CowboysSI.com that part of the construction of the deal, when executed, will give Dallas about $16 million in 2022 cap relief.


Hey, that might be enough to retain Randy Gregory.

Pass rushers dont grow on trees!

Cowboys!

 

[Risen Star]

Is there any way we can restructure where it changes the team he plays for?

 

[Silver N Blue]

Cut him now…who cares about the cap. Lose with him or lose without him with a rebuild.

 

[ChronicCowboy]

Just means we have to keep him longer. Go Cowboys

 

[CATCH17]

Too late for that.

I suggested getting Tom Brady on a 2 year deal and letting Dak walk.. We’d be sitting nice right now.

I don’t know what this team is going to do really lol. They need a Super team to compete with all these juggernaut QBs. Luckily a lot of them play in the AFC.

 

[Vanilla2]

Definitely didn’t see this coming

 

[pancakeman]

I get that their win numbers were inflated by a weak division etc. etc., but the idea of a third-seeded team switching to rebuild mode (esp. when there's a decent chance the first and second seeded teams will lose their HOF QBs) is absurd.

 

[DCreppinBoysfan]

Nfl should addopt a luxury tax idea like the nba that allows you to go over the cap to resign your own players if you want. Not my money but it pretty safe to say that the Cowboys can afford to pay the tax bill to go over. Don’t abuse it though

 

[JeffInDC]

Ummmm, I take it most of y’all don’t remember that Jerry and Stephen pretty much told everyone this would be happening when the deal was done. If the team is around $20M OVER the Cap, what do y’all expect them to do to get under? Cutting the Big $$$ guys puts them FURTHER OVER the cap…all these deals were made with the flexibility to restructure them.

 

[Pantone282C]

Cowboys put a lot on the back end for a front end win that didn't happen.

 

[reddyuta]

I would pass on signing Gregory.

 

[unionjack8]

Tad hitting twitter like " ya'all see how much of a team player Dak is?"

 

[CalPolyTechnique]

There's a little known stipulation in Dak's contract where he gets extended every time he helps the team go one-and-done in the postseason.

"Line'em up!!!" -- Dak

We still gonna be paying him in 2032.....

We don’t need a rebuild. The problem is we will probably just let good players go and try to build a cheap team around Dak.

Eventually Parsons will be the highest paid Non-QB in the league though.
