So, the obvious question has to be asked…what are these dunces hoarding salary cap for?

It makes absolutely zero sense. I can understand not being overly active in the FA market, but you could have just kept Cooper....you could have not restructured Dak, etc. and still had the same impact. They lost talent, lost cap space to future years.....it looks really silly if they don't do something for 2022 with the space they created. If not they've just put themselves at a handicap for future years to have cap space on reserve.
I agree with part of what you are saying, but given their current cap space if they don't plan on making any additional major moves they could have kept Coop for this year and unloaded him next offseason. So instead of dumping coop for a 5th round pick they in theory could have kept him for 2022, used him in whatever role they wanted and probably got more for him next year once more of his guaranteed money in his contract was paid off.They didn't want Cooper any longer. He was paid like a top 5 WR and produced like a #2 or #3 WR. They needed his cap space to lock up a young talented Gallup and are reportedly looking to trade for another WR. Cooper was wearing real thin on me and I'm glad he is gone. Whatever the reason was, Dak couldn't get him the ball enough to keep paying him that money and lose Gallup in the process. Best move they made this offseason. Wish they could have got more back in the trade but that's just more proof of how far Cooper had fallen.
Not a popular slant among the “we suck at everything crowd”.They didn't want Cooper any longer. He was paid like a top 5 WR and produced like a #2 or #3 WR.

But why restructure Daks contract this offseason then? Instead of carrying over the saved money, why not just pay him this year and not have to worry about adding money to future years? Is it just because rollover helps in 2023 whereas most of the Dak restructure impacts further down the road? Is the rollover money capped or can teams take it all with them? Honest questions as I admittedly understand a small piece of how the actual cap works.I don't see why this is so difficult to see.
They want to have a few bucks available in case a 7-8 million a year player wants to sign for 1/2-3.
They need to sign a draft class and the rest can be carried forward....as we constantly make Prescotts 40 million count only for 20 as of now.
