No clue what it means or how/if it impacts us negatively ..............

Fairly certain those are contract restructures.

Be patient. There will be plenty along shortly to explain why this is terrible by our front office.

I think they either make a trade before the deadline or extend pickens once they can...i like the aggressive approach

Keep on pushing money down the road

Have to try something different

I think it depends on the results on the field
If it works, fine
if not, you are a bum

This, as much as anything else, is a symbol of Jerry actually *being* “all in” and just *talking* about it.

It will all work itself out.

True but I'm not sure you do this w/o a long-term plan. In other words, it makes you wonder if they are targeting certain player(s) on other teams (possible trades) who may or may not be available but wanna have your ducks lined up just in case.

With the Bland and Ferguson restructures the Cowboys pushed pretty much all the money into the future they could which they usually don’t do. That being said a lot of the other teams more heavily use void years which essentially do the same thing.

Right!

You're right

Not too long ago I created a thread about cap management and the cowboys. With this spotrac tweet, I should go back and do Part 5

Basically, the $94.56 million is the definitive, statistical proof of "Part 4” of my other thread

• It shows that Jerry Jones did not just talk about a shift; he actually maxed out the credit card with seven different salary conversions and pushed a gigantic pile of debt into the future.
• This is proof that Jerry has officially abandoned the 20-year "pay-as-you-go" safe play he ran ever since he got burned after the end of the 90s Cowboys and adopted the exact "Howie Roseman” mindset that has become the symbol of how aggressive, rich teams chase super bowls. .

True but I'm not sure you do this w/o a long-term plan. In other words, it makes you wonder if they are targeting certain player(s) on other teams (possible trades) who may or may not be available but wanna have your ducks lined up just in case.

Actually, the cap management is done explicitly without a particular player or move in mind. Teams running their cap this way build the overarching strategy with a dedicated set aside for “capitalization on unexpected opportunity”

Making such a long term financial commitment, that moves away from twenty years of established Cowboys cap strategy, can’t be done with a single player in mind.
