Cut D-Law: resign Randy Gregory & Dorance Armstrong Jr.. Already have Tarell Basham and Chauncey Golston signed. Could bring in a free agent on a cheap 1-2 year deal.

Trade or cut Amari Cooper: use the $16 million savings to resign Michael Gallup (should be much cheaper to keep due to injury riddled 2021 season and very low stats because of it). Try to resign Cedrick Wilson and/or Noah Brown on team friendly deals. Introduce Nathan Vasher and some practice WRs while possibly drafting another WR in mid rounds.

Time to cut Tyron Smith: start Terence Steele in his place. Redo La'el Collins' contract to create more cap space. Try to resign Ty Nsekhe on another cheap 1 year deal if he is still willing to play at his age (36). Time to give Josh Ball some play time. Also, move Isaac Alarcón to Left Tackle which was his natural position when playing in the Mexican collegiate leagues. Possibly use a 3rd or 4th round pick on another O-Tackle.

Cut unreliable Greg Zuerlein: use a late round pick to draft a Kicker. Bring in another veteran Kicker to compete in Training Camp.

All 4 players suggested cuts or trades above ^^^ saves the team money and creates cap space to sign other players on cheaper deals. Time to cut overpaid/underproducing old (and injured) veteran players.

That’s an awful DE rotation.

You made OT weaker, much weaker.

I can see trying to move Cooper in a trade. Makes some sense given cap constraints.

Greg Z has to go.

After looking at the cap charges for next year, our current cap situation, and their production....here is who i think will be cut (or traded) barring some renegotiation.

Amari Cooper- By cutting him we will save 16 million on the cap. No way he can play under this deal with our current cap situation. I think a trade is a strong possibility as his base of 20 mill can be renegotiated by the new team easily.

D Law- We will save 8 million by cutting or trading him. I think there is a chance we can trade him but we can't afford to pay this guy his 27 million dollar price tag this year for his lack of production.

Tyron Smith- We will save 5 million to cut him. This one is tough because his price tag is still low at 12 million. It will depend on how we feel he can be replaced and if we need that 5 million.

Greg Z- We will save 2.5 million...no brainer.

I will not be surprised if all 4 of these players are not on the team next year, what do you think?

At 12 mil Tyron is a good value even if he is injured 6-8 games a year. Having a HOF left tackle for 10 games a year at 12 mil is valuable.

D Law is still a good player, but he's not going to be a guy that gets 8+ sacks a year. My question is who the heck will play defensive end next season if you let him and Gregory walk? You have to keep one of those guys and I would much prefer D law.

Cooper and Greg Z I agree will be gone.

Baloney. You just don't know what you're talking about. Tyron Smith is unreliable, oft-injured and gets beat often.

D-Law is way overpaid while he underperforms. The DE rotation I listed of Gregory, Armstrong, Basham and Golston could be good. That's not including Micah Parsons. Could possibly use a mid-to-late round pick on another DE.

Time to make changes due to cap constraints and certain players being overpaid while underproducing. Don't be afraid. Cowboys can no longer afford to overpay a handful of veterans if they want to afford to keep a decently good team.

Have to restructure a few of those players. Its Not like your going to cut this talent and expect to replace at a cheaper price .Don't want to make the team even worse then what it already is.

IMO we all overrate Gallup….he doesn’t get open…that’s why he’s good at contested catches, he has to be. Amari’s contract sucks…as does several others on the team but if you paired Amari with Brady or Rodgers, he’d probably have 1500 yards

And you don’t think you are overrating Cooper ? He is nowhere near that good. Over 30 players had more receiving yards than Cooper.

That DE rotation is bottom third of the league. Thinking it will be good is just ridiculous. LOL at thinking a mid round pick at DE makes it better too.

Smith was one of the better rated OTs this year. He missed some games, true. He has a pretty market friendly deal when you look around at other OT contracts. He’s the best OT we have and it’s not even close. The drop off from to Steele at LT is massive.

No, he doesn't.

Also, some of you don't seem to understand how valuable it is to have a great OT for 13 games as season. It matters.

Yep.

Plus thinking Basham, Armstrong, Golston and Gregory is a good DE rotation. Hahaha. Even with Parsons sliding there in situations, that’s a mediocre DE rotation.

Cooper is more valuable than d law. Stop blaming receivers a d start looking at your “ franchise qb”.
Cooper still gets the top corner. The few Gabe’s we do feature are our best Games offensively. Dak is about to go through his second pro bowl receiver. Then lamb become ju ju smith. Then guys will star bashing him. And finally after years, welll unite on this point. The q b is Dak.

I think you are right, JJ has to cut all them players to pay Dak next year. What do you think?

3rdEyewarrior · Jan 22, 2022

Washington will sign cooper or Green Bay. He’s the easiest to cut but it’s not his fault Dak won’t throw to him. It’s not his fault his qb doesnt see him deep down the field. D law is the one guy in the team after Dak who is way over paid.he’s worth 12 million a year based in. His play. Dak is worth, 20.

La'el ranked just under Tyron by a few percentage points, plus they both had similar stats. The slight difference is their contract difference and age. La'el is 28 and going on 29 years of age, while Tyron is 31 and going on 32.

Didn't Prescott get sacked like 5 times by the same DE a couple years ago when Smith was out? It's ideal to have him for every game, but I don't think Dak has the pocket awareness or the pocket movement to deal with consistent pressure from his left side and have success the same way Rodgers or Wilson did throughout their career.

3rdEyewarrior · Jan 22, 2022

I also think less is more. They have too many receivers. If it was just cooper a d lamb, we’d thrive. Dak is t smart enough to manage having three good receivers.

reddyuta · Jan 22, 2022

i would cut the oline coach first,our oline group has let our team down.

It don't eat me up...I know what is coming. I think it does eat you up...but if that is your standard, have at it...everything will be fine in your mind.

I know what to expect the next few years while the "I'm a big Mutha...er" takes this team down with him because, well, he just needed some money to, you know, eat.

Pay Callahan what he wa ts to come back. Trade for Payton. Everything else works itself out.
