Cowboys create more than 19m in cap space with three restructures

[gtb1943]

No, that was the only reason they did it. Those are automatic things

dude, you really do not know what you are talking about
Jane Slater is just one of them that showed how wrong you are

 

[Loso86]

Gonzalez isn’t realistic but let me dream for a second

Why? Neither was QW

 

[Flamma]

And yes, we know Pickens can’t sign right now.

I don't know why they would bring that up in this situation. Even If they could sign Pickens, that would open up about 15m in cap space, not cost cap space.

It will cost cap space when they’re able to sign him to an extension, which isn’t now

 

[Kwyn]

So they can get Maxx now. Quite easily

So, Jane posts a gif of cold water being splashed on the Crosby chatter, looking for clicks

Then she decides she needs some more engagement so she does what we all do and goes to overthecap.. she tweets it out again, this time she’s hypothesizing .. about Crosby

She’s always been one of Stephen main leak outlets so for all we know, he’s writing these tweets for her

 

[DarkVader33]

They cannot extend Pickens at this time can they?
I really do not think they will do Dak. They have already done Q
So by process of elimination that means bringing someone in

They can’t change the tag deal. However, I’m not sure I’d they can sign him beyond this season but I don’t think so.

 

[DarkVader33]

There are No FA's out there worth anything like that much

It would have to be a trade scenario for that

 

[DarkVader33]

maybe towards some Maxx space

Nope

 

[DarkVader33]

I doubt we will trade for Maxx but it is interesting that his salary is 30 million and we just freed up that amount. I can dream about. I think that would put us where we want to be barring injury.

Keep dreaming. Lol

 

[Majic]

We cannot possibly consider giving up any further draft capital

 

[plymkr]

Keep dreaming. Lol

Lol, I know it’s a dream but until Maxx isn’t traded or finalized, I’m going to keep hope alive. Man that would be sweet

 

[ScotsCowboy]

Could boost our LB room with Wagner and IOL with Robert Jones or Graham Glasgow, and still have plenty cap space left for a trade deadline move.

The Max Efect

 

[Coogiguy03]

I dunno a Crosby move is a lets win this thing this year worry about it later move. It would be a real all in by Jerry.

Yeah he's going to catch us off guard later with it

 

[b0xZZ]

Pretty much. 5-6 years of Dak left barring catastrophic injury. Not a fan of the scenario but the reality of it is what it is...

5-6 more years of coming up short

The Dallas Cowboys have created a little more than $19 million in salary-cap space by restructuring the contracts of three players, sources told ESPN.

Veteran defensive tackle Kenny Clark, cornerback DaRon Bland and tight end Jake Ferguson had their deals re-worked to give the Cowboys flexibility as the 2026 season begins or allow the club to carry over any unused space to 2027.

According to the NFL Players Association website, the Cowboys had roughly $14.2 million of cap space prior to the restructured contracts.

If the Cowboys want to make a significant trade before the deadline later this season, theoretically they would have the room to do so. Last year, the Cowboys added Pro Bowl defensive tackle Quinnen Williams from the New York Jets with a trade-deadline deal.

Probably to be rolled into next year. Or, if anything, maybe it'll be used to help extend Pickens (which should actually create more cap space too).

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

Correct, they can not extend Pickens until the season is over

Fur sure, but, when that time comes, I think the restructures should be able to help make that work, and, depending on the language, the extension could give us a little more cap space too.

 

[Jipper]

We cannot possibly consider giving up any further draft capital

This!!!! We are basically sitting out after the 3rd

 

[CashMan]

The Max Efect

They freed up the jersey number and now just freed up cap space. My guess is, after a game or 2, they make the trade. 4 games at MAX before they make the trade.

 

[Denim Chicken]

They're about to hit you with an Overshown contract out of nowhere
