Twitter: 2021 salary cap set at 182.5 million

[Bowdown27]

We should see some good quality free agents for cheap........excellent time to bargain shop

That’s my thought. Guys will not be getting big contract number offers because of the cap. Should have some pretty good talent available.

With alot of teams trying to get under the cap, there will be alot talented bargains in FA this year. Like someone else said, it's a buyers market since FA's don't have much leverage...

 

[Hawkeye0202]

I don't know if you're being sarcastic but it honestly is. If you are a bargain shopper and the economy is down(salary cap)....if you do it right, you can come out of this with some gems.

Hell no........I'm for real (LOL)
In other words, some damn good players are likely getting cut. I doubt most wanna sign any long-term deals since the cap will retreat to some normalcy next year.

• Dallas will currently have about $2MM in space

• Can easily make in excess of $40MM with a few safe restructures.

• Dak only takes up about 11% of cap space in 2021

Can you repeat that? There are some that think his contract is why we wont sign anyone. not because we just never sign anyone lol.

 

[John813]

Loomis and Roseman have their work cut out for them.

 

[Hawkeye0202]

My guess .......they ALREADY have a few players targeted. One of the major reasons for getting Dak's deal done before the free-agent opening period.

 

[jazzcat22]

Get ready for a lot of restructured deals league wide. As well some decent players will still hit the FA market, without costing against the comp pick formula.

Will McClay has probably already been on top of the possibilities.

 

[Vinnie2u]

Bring in a run stuffing DT. a LB and a Safety. That’s what I want for Christmas.

 

[TexasBacon]

Ironically not signing Dak last year and waiting until now is probably going to help us significantly more since his contract is now able to be structured to accommodate the lower cap this year. Once the new TV deal money kicks in we may actually never be in cap Hell because of Dak because the cap will skyrocket. Had they signed him last year the big money would be hitting now and we'd be in a much worse place.

We'll have plenty of money to work with in free agency and probably able to get alot of great one year deals on some good defensive vets that we can hopefully retain 1 or 2 of in 2022.

 

[jazzcat22]

That $2.5 million is roughly all that the Cowboys have in current cap space.

No free agency for us this year.

That may be a good thing.

No more Dix, Worley, Poe and others. We lose players, get 4 comp picks. As the draft is really the way to go.
Oh I am sure after some restructuring, they can sign some of their own, as well a few low level FA's as gap fillers.
But as we all know, it still comes down to the draft.

 

[Frozen700]

You all got what you wanted.

Rejoice.

Better hope Dak can carry.

Remember reading an article a few years where the writer interviewed a former NFL scouts/personnel. It was interesting he mentioned all GMs have a pro scout and his job is to keep an updated list of every NFL player's contract. The scout will them broke down by duration, players ages, playing time, performance, and so on. In other words, any given week or day he could project the certain players/ position availability.

So yes I'm sure McClay and MM are well aware of who likely getting cut........

Yep. Sign a one year deal for cheap.....sign long term when the salary cap goes up...Cowboys have to be in on this.

 

[Hawkeye0202]

sound like a 12-year-old

 

[Stash]

Actually, with a rookie pool needed of about $7.5 million, they still need to come up with $5 million to get under the CAP.

Yep.

 

[Stash]

That may be a good thing.

Yeah. Based on recent free agent moves, I’m not sure it’s a bad thing for this team to sit out.

 

[Whirlwin]

When do we get to compete again?

When we get a head coach they can actually match the players to the scheme.

 

[Whirlwin]

I would love for the draft to be, before free agency.

 

[Risen Star]

When we get a head coach they can actually match the players to the scheme.

One day, maybe not in our lifetime but while our kids or grandkids are still here, we will find a head coach to unleash all our talent.
