Lets hope we manage it wisely and dont give the jj Wilcox's/Barry church's/ of the world any of it......

I don't get too excited about this, because this just means everybody has more to spend, so the overall prices just go up.

Every year the cap rises it makes the people who call us irresponsible for pushing money into future years look more and more foolish. Anything we pushed forward becomes a proportionally smaller amount each year. If we just played it straight we would make less effective use of the cap money.

Jacksonville and Oakland are 70mil + under the cap. Plenty of other teams are 30mil + under the cap. Guys like Lamar Miller ain't coming to Dallas when they can get paid somewhere else.

 

[RS12]

I wouldnt mind saving some of the increase as rollover to pay the O Line down the road. Like to see them stay together as long as possible.

Yeah but even with our crappy last 20 years guys still want to wear the star. You hear it all the time from all age levels

 

[SacramentoKing]

More money for QB contracts lol

 

[rynochop]

Yeah, all you, I'd sign this guy for the right price, guys better be prepared to get over paying guys a ton of coin.

 

[JakeCamp12]

Our only advantage is that our line is so good, that Miller may want to come here just to be able to raise his profile in the NFL. He could put up some serious numbers with this Line and a healthy Romo.

But there aren't that many teams looking for a starting back.

Both Jax and Oakland have options.

Lots of teams do and aren't looking at spending say $4 mil on a back in order to give him 20 carries a game, because they don't need that type of back.

Off the top of my head, the teams that could be interested in Miller-

-NYG
-Det
-SF
-Hou

Exactly. This free agency will have more money than any in Salary cap history!
Prices will be insane.

Could be a ton more teams interested.
Many teams go RBBC and Miller is an excellent fit as a back in a committee. 4-6m is not too much to pay a guy as part of a two-headed attack that does it all well.

Dallas fans love the dude and we aren't the only ones.
He is my only real RB target in FA but he might get 7-8m a year. This FA will be crazy.

And this fact could reland Rolando McClain, Claiborne, and Greg Hardy back in a Star.

Its too bad certain people dont realize things like this, like how $15/hr minimum wage would just mean gas,food,utilities etc would all double or even triple as well....

49ers have Hyde and Bush although I could see them try but not serious offer

It drives me crazy that we don't maximize the cap. We have a cash advantage and won't use it.

We went crazy when the cap was stagnant and now that the cap is exploding we want to go with the austerity budget.

It is mind bottling, especially since we are in the twilight of Romo's career. DEN showed us how to go all in.

Todays players want paid or win a championship more than wearing the star....its competition all the way around...not much loyalty to team anymore....

That has to be factored in.

If a free agent ever said "wearing the star " was more important than money, I would question if their brain was functional.
