That's not true at all. The Cowboys waited to ask Carr for money until after the draft and all the teams had spent their money and
filled their rosters. The Cowboys have until the 1st of June to dump Dez or get him to take a big money hit. Carr gave up the money
to stay one more year and Dez will have to make a decision to stay for less or get a 1 year prove it deal with some other team. That's
how Stephen will play it.
Carr’s story is not a good comparasion IMO.
First of all, Carr wasn’t one or Jerry’s guys. Jerry has never done one of his guys wrong and cutting a player now when you have had all offseason is not a Jerry move.
Second of all, Carrs market was considerably less IMO. We have seen receiver make Bank this offseason that have considerably less production than Dez over the last 3 years. That’s not even factoring in Dez’s peak years.
Lastly, we have already paid 8m to Dez in advance that is going to be on this cap with or without him. We paid that money to him with the assumption he would be here this season. Our cap gain if we cut him is minimal especially since free agency dollars have dried up. Next season is the most logical time to cut Dez.
All of those factors are going to come into play. Dez has considerably more leverage than Carr.
