CFZ 2023 Dallas Cowboys Contracts

[Avery]

Main UFA targets next year:

Donovan Wilson
Tony Pollard
Terence Steele (he's RFA)
Brett Maher
Cooper Rush
Noah Brown
LVE

All these depend on price, but these are guys I'd want back. Guys like Fowler, McGovern, etc. are more disposable, but again, if the price is right...

How Tyron Smith plays this latter stretch and the playoffs should factor into his cut decision. A Zeke cut feels inevitable.

It will be a further changing of the guard.

My predictions:

FAs who will want enough money that Stephen may pass out:

• Dalton
• Pollard
• Steele/Wilson (agree w JD Kapow, can see them leaving with a Stephen Jones classic undercut offer)

Contract reworked:

• Dak
• Zack
• possibly Tank again
• possibly Gallup again

Cap Cut:

• Zeke
• Tyron

Free Agents will attempt to sign similar to ones Kearse, Hooker, Dorance and others got:

• Steele
• Fowler

Guys we're maybe going to lose because they cash in on their highlights this year:

• Cooper
• Maher
• Noah B
• D Wilson - Market is full of a lot of good Safeties though if not re-signed.

Age/Injury Cut or No Re-Sign:

• Hankins
• Washington

Guys they let go because of youth backup (assuming they play well rest of year):

• Anthony B (Joseph)
• McGovern (Tyler)
• LVE (Clark)
• Schultz (Fergy)

Steele is an RFA

Zeke: gone
Shultz: gone
Dak: just eat it next year then cut
Rework Tank, Martin, Armstrong, Gallup

Season is starting close down, and here's a look at where we stand. Some big decisions to be made.

Brought a lot of players back this year, but could be a different team next year.

Cowboys are on track to only be $2 million under the salary cap.

Biggest Dead Money we can't shake - La'el Collins, almost $9 million

Biggest Cap Hits assuming they don't rework their contracts: (numbers rounded)

1. Dak $49m
2. Tank $26m
3. Zack $20m
4. Tyron $18m
5. Zeke $17m
6. Gallup $14m
7. Dorance $7m
8. JayronK $6m
9. JourdanL $6m
10. Micah $5m
11. CeeDee $4m
12. Hooker $4m

Free Agents:

• Dalton Schultz
• Anthony Brown
• Fowler
• LVE
• Barr
• Jason Peters
• Goodwin
• Hankins
• Noah B
• James Washington
• Carlos W
• Cooper Rush
• Connor McGovern
• Terrence Steele
• Donovan Wilson
• Jake McQuaide/Matt Overton
• Tony Pollard
• Brett Maher
• Gifford

High Priced Free Agents:

• QB - Lamar Jackson, Tom Brady
• RB - Sequon Barkley, David Montgomery
• OL - Quenton Nelson, Orlando Brown, Elgton Jenkins
• DB - Derwin James, Jessie Bates, Chauncey Gardner Johnson, James Bradberry
• Front Seven - Rojuan Smith, Javon Hargrave, Poona Ford, Lavonte David, Bradley Chubb, JJ Watt
• Dalton Schultz is probably the biggest name at WR/TE.

Out of the top 4, only #3 is worth the money.
