It rose 10m a year for the last 2 years after being stagnant for 5 years because of the lockout and pressures from the owners.
The formula is rather simple and the revenues keep skyrocketing.
It was 133m in 2014 and 143m in 2015

So I think we are projected at 20 million or something under the cap plus the 10 million increase would put us over 30 million under. Cutting players like Free and Carr plus restructures on players like Romo, Dez and Tyron could give us what 50 million or so.
We could get anybody we want in FA. Lots to work with. Would love to go in the draft with most holes filled

Id say it will be about 158 million, Alot of people believe we're gonna have a huge jump, we are sitting very well with the cap.. Cutting Carr and Church will give us another 11 million or so , 50 million sounds right.

Good for owners that have hefty war chests and want to spend to win like Jerry. Bad for the owners that use their teams as purely a source of revenue.

I would not restructure Romo.
You either have to go year to year and hope he makes it to two years more or risk taking a cap crippling hit $30+m hit if he has a career ending injury. Turds like Carr's contract are one thing but Romo's deal could wreak havoc.
I'm not sure about Dez either. He has been terrible this year by any standard. He seems to have regressed and I'm beginning to worry it's not all injury related. I'm not saying he is going to melt down but it's troubling enough that I don't tie myself to that dead money.
I remember when Aikman and Irvin went out bang bang in a row. Something similar with Dez and Romo would similarly impact the organization.

I for one am for getting the most cap space by restructuring guys like Tyron who will be here multiple years down the road. However how in the Hell would somebody want to restructure Romo. He has missed significant playing time this year and isn't getting younger and rest assure he will get hurt again most likely next year some way some how. That would be idiotic to do, push money to the future on a guy you have no idea rather he will play one year or three, be the best qb in the league or the worst. PASS

I eouldnt restructure anyone I can think of off the top of my head. That's a tool when you need it but we don't need it so no benefit in doing it
As for cutting a guy like Carr and letting Mo walk then you may be paying a ton of money for two more cb's because they aren't getting cheaper. If I could sign Mo to something structured along his ability to be on the field I would then cut Carr and draft a guy as well. If you can't sign Mo then cutting Carr leaves a big hole to fill and you have to know you can fill it before you start cutting

Yeah resigning Mo would help but he's hurt again. If his upside is 12 games a year then I'm not offering him much unless it's year to year.

That might make you more comfortable in cutting Carr. We have them both over a barrell really.

Haha, Dez has a bad game after being injured most of the season and he's regressed, lol. This after setting the Cowboys single season TD record last year

Was just saying, it doesn't matter what I think. It matters what Jerry thinks and he even thinks we still making the playoffs this season and keeping Romo for then instead of IR.
Again I'm saying what I think the franchise will do and Jerry believes Romo will play 6 more years and in that case he most likely will restructure Romo the same with Dez

Come on man. It's been several games at this point and the drops and wrong routes are what they are. He isn't going to get half of the TD record prorated out at this pace. When you do worse than you had before it's a regression. I realize that he's been hurt. I realize that he's dealing with the worst QB play in the NFL.
I love Dez but let's be real. Watching him develop as a player has been a joy to watch. I'm not saying cut him, ask him for a paycut or anything of the like. I just want to wait and see some more before I give him more up front money.

I love how every year we talk about how we are going to be in cap hell down the road. Then someone points out that the cap is rising consistently and that what look to be big deals now will be a much smaller % of the cap in the future. And then someone says "but it won't keep going up." But then, it always does.
