FEATURED Free Agency 2026 thread

Most teams manage the cap with a computer program. Jerry uses an abacus and #2 pencils. It’s only prohibitive to him.

Not sure about the abacus, and we have seen what he can do with a pencil.

And we just literally gave away Solomon Thomas

Those were some important 7 slots to move up in the 7th.

This is good. Get rid of the poor scheme fits. Give CP what he needs. You know, the way every other franchise is run?

Yet people will find angles to hate it somehow.

Not sure I get this OSA move unless they are trying to do something else in FA. Brings Peter Woods in play at 20

Have you seen our LBs? CBs? These are the guys he needs?

And no, you can't fix all that in the draft, especially the way this team drafts.

Rome wasn’t built in a day. No way to remake the whole D in one offseason

So what exactly should the Cowboys have gotten in exchange for an undersized DT entering his 10th season?

This was just to unload his contract. I am sure they shopped him around and could not get a better deal.

So it's not about giving him what he needs?

Seemingly has perfect size for a 3-4 end, no?

I’ve seen him listed from 6’2 256 to 6 2 295. He looks brolic to me. I don’t like giving him away but the fact they did it let’s me know they were gonna cut him.

Was always going to take at least 2 off-seasons. Maybe more if they dont use fa more.

CP must like big DTs. We have 4 left on the roster and all of them are over 300 lbs. The two we just traded were under 300 lbs

That was about getting cap space.

I think the Cowboys want three 300-pound guys inside with EZ and Gary standing up on the edges.

 

[CT Dal Fan]

Commanders playing with monopoly money at this point.

But why unload his contract.
It's 2.5 mil for a good depth piece.
He was a solid, serviceable, backup DT for us .
He was ranked in the top half of DTs last year. For 2.5 million.
Why do you feel compelled to move that player? And you just traded OSA which means Thomas would get more snaps.
What do we have now if Quinnen goes down? Nothing. We had a solid veteran at low cost. Why move that guy?
We jumped up 7 spots in theb7th round.
