What a rip offCorrect. Against the cap. He’s gotten the money already

So we owe him 90 million for real? 59 for this year, then 36 next yearYes. That’s what dead money is. Denver has 85m in dead money they’re still paying Wilson. They’ll be paying I believe 38m this year while Wilson is playing for Pittsburgh. The two team play and he’ll actually make over 2m to play that game for the Steelers, courtesy of the broncos
Uhh!! So it's 59 this year and next year as a FREE AGENT, we're still on the books for 30+ million?Yep, this is why you can’t just automatically restructure contracts to open up cap space year after year as some suggest. Eventually that catches up to you and the bill comes due.
Yep, they can lower that amount in both years for 2024 & 2025 with a cut or trade after June 1st but it kicks a few bucks into 2026 that they would owe.Uhh!! So it's 59 this year and next year as a FREE AGENT, we're still on the books for 30+ million?
So he plays out this year at that big number and becomes a free agent and we STILL owe him money without doing restructuring or anything??
This is true, he'll land in Washington if they don't draft a franchise QB with the #2 pick.Dak’s smartest move is becoming a FA and just keep hopping teams like Cousins. If Kirk plays out his Atlanta contract he will have made 400 million in football. What has Kirk won?
Dak’s will get the biggest contract in NFL history next offseason folks. Bank on it
They hoped it would be more with the contract signing they didn't know this would happenThe contract was negotiated by the most incompetent front office in football. (No trade, no franchise tag) They gave all these concessions to a guy with 1 playoff win.
That's cap space. He already cashed the check.So we owe him 90 million for real? 59 for this year, then 36 next year
I laid out the details of options in a thread just posted if you’re interested . This is most likely option:Does anybody know what the consequences and schedules are for Dak and the Cowboys from here on out?
If I'm not mistaken he is a free agent after the season is over?
Is the option to be a post-June 1st Cut still alive?
Is he still due his 5 million $ bonus on March 18th?
What will his cap hit be if he plays out the season?
Can he hold out and if so does he get paid?
Thanks
Emmit Smith did not get paid?Holdouts never get paid. That’s not an option
Cap hit is 60m this season. 36M in dead money next season.
Of course he can still be a post 6/1 cut.
He is a free agent after the season.
If that's the case, you do the post - June 1st cut on Dak to save cap money.I am starting Lance this year sit Dak.
And Emmit Smith.You don’t get paid for missing games. Period.
I don’t think you understand the question or the answer. They get paid when they play. They don’t get paid when they don’t play.Emmit Smith did not get paid?
Zeke did not get paid?
I'm kind of confused, nothing new.
Living in the South East, I don't follow / get the Cowboys per news.
This is my dumb line of thinking, and keep in mind, I'm not a Dak Hater or Dak Lover...
Dak isn't a bad QB by any means IMO although he can make some boneheaded decisions given his time in the NFL as a QB, that leaves you scratching your head, but then sometimes the coaches blow it IMO by their own bone headed decisions.
The Cowboys have an issue somewhere, be it coaching, team ownership and players in the mix.
Given today's free agency market, if I'm Jerry, it makes no sense to "blow up the team". Reality is they could be a few good players short to make a run to the SB (reality is they are always "up at the top" in the division with the Eagles it seems since Dak's been playing).
Way I see it, blow up the team and you may be at the bottom of the division for some time. Hey, take a couple of years, "develope" a new team, but guess what happens when players contracts are up? You're going to have to pay them, and then you're right back to square 1, where it seems the Cowboys are at right now.
I mean come on, there is no way the team doesn't have the money is there to bring in some people that could help?
The thing that blows me away is the it seems the rest of the division is spending money to try to help the team in the standings immediately once FA hit. I honestly have no clue what Roseman is doing spending all the money on "expensive" players, but I will say the guy has balls and would have loved to be a fly on the wall listening to him explain his line of thinking to his boss. That said, sometimes when you got balls, you're in the unemployment line LOL
Just seems stupid to blow this team up and have to start from scratch when they are so close...
I mean if Dak isn't Jerry's "guy", bite the bullet and move on. That said, not certain if Lance is the answer.
Correct, but they should plan for that, and add the necessary pieces while the window is open…as was the case the last few years.Yep, this is why you can’t just automatically restructure contracts to open up cap space year after year as some suggest. Eventually that catches up to you and the bill comes due.
