? You’ll have to explain what you mean by that.
But regardless, even if those very high cap hits were to be true there’s still plenty of room.
That $125M in cap space includes:
Tyrone Crawford making $9M- shouldn’t happen
And also includes Tyron, Martin and Martin making a combined $49. That is easily rectifiable with an extension, or possibly even a cut.
And for the record, I’m not advocating a massive free agent haul. I think we can easily fit in 2 guys in the $8-12M range per year...pretty damn reasonable and not hard to pull off if you ask me
actually ur position and mine r not that far apart, though the reasoning is different.
u cannot just say the 1st year of a multi year contract is substantially less than the remaining years and then discount those contracts.
that is because stephen is trying to get around the need to restructure ((push current year salary minus minimum salary into a restructuring bonus to be divided into the remaining years)
u have to take into consideration who is coming up in 2021 from the class of 2017 - cb, s (ignoring taco...)
u cannot assume any of tsmith, martin and tfred will be cut as tfred seems to be recovered and tsmith improved his play and is a good value for his contract.
stephen is a bean counter that wants a conservative financial strategy.
he does not like the multi year contracts with a small 1st year and then the constant restructuring every year.
this is what i mean by taking into account the likely cba changes to maximize the amount of money available within reason.
otherwise, stephen's modus operandi will result in what you are seeing now.
and it will be liked this until basically all the core players are locked up over next 2 years and wasting their prime.
i understand cowboys were punished for pushing salaries into uncapped year.
i am not advocating that.
however, that does not mean we should not take account of that year in the regular course of doing business for multi year contract restructuring.
what cowboys and Commanders did in 2010 were described by espn:
"According to sources, the Cowboys and Commanders
took immediate cap hits during the 2010 season that normally would have been spread out over the length of the contracts, giving them an advantage that other NFL owners found unfair."
