2023 salary cap set at 224.8 million

[Aven8]

Hurts new contract supposedly going to be over 200 million. Soon enough the league will all be expensive QB’s

 

[atlantacowboy]

It looked like he was doing that in his last 2 games when he was making business decisions so what else is new.

Well, I just hope Jerry and son remember the kittle play before caving.

Well, I just hope Jerry and son remember the kittle play before caving.

So do I.

This is good news for Dallas who should be well under league average heading into next year.

Right now is the time to start acquiring youngish, proven talent for the future and moving on from guys like Zeke and Dak.

 

[Carson]

I am not an expert on cap, but if we had $6.3 million in cap space before this, we should add an additional $16.6 million in space. If it jumped from $208.2 million to $224.8 million putting us around $22.9 million in cap.

Now I know every site is different and I’m sure we are negative something lol

 

[Hawkeye0202]

Just enough to cover the increase in Dak's cap hit.

Bingo! This allows them to avoid restructuring or extending him to reduce the $49M cap hit for 2023. It'll be interesting to see what they do.

 

[Coogiguy03]

Man, I can only imagine all of the free agents we're going to sign.

Is this sarcasm???

 

[Hennessy_King]

Somebody give @Risen Star a job please. Hes too quick with the breaking news

 

[cowboys5xsbs]

So are the bengals.

And they will take advantage of a rookie qb deal.

Dallas had Dak at 700k and didnt do anything. It is still mind boggling to me.

We had romos dead cap still

 

[phildadon86]

We had romos dead cap still

for 4 years?

 

[Mark]

What this really means is that the price of tickets, concessions, parking and cable/streaming services will continue to skyrocket to finance this madness.

We are 7.5 mill over

 

[cowboys5xsbs]

for 4 years?

2017 and 2018 were Romo dead cap years and 2020 was daks big money year

 

[phildadon86]

2017 and 2018 were Romo dead cap years and 2020 was daks big money year

So in 2019 they should have gone all in.

Thanks for clarifying.

 

[FVSTONE]

No choice. We gotta re-sign our guys. Diggs will be more than happy to sit out until he gets his extension.

Diggs needs to take a year off to work on his "FETUS" style tackling. It's not playing well in the NFL......................

 

[Pass2Run]

Check out the Bears.

I would build that team around Fields.

 

[Pass2Run]

I just hope the team is not entering another big dead money phase. There was a 3 year stretch during the Garrett era when the Cowboys were among the worst in the league year after year.

He was trying to bring in the right kind of guys to be like the Rams.

 

[NoLuv4Jerry]

They are but I hope they throw stupid money at Barkley and Jones. We shouldn't be the only team saddled with overpriced RB and QB. Barkley and Jones definitely have more upside than Zeke and Dak!

I agree that at this point there is more upside to that duo....that being said.....the best version of Barkley/Jones will not be better than the best version of Dak/Zeke

 

[FTWayne]

Sweet, maybe we restructure dak and give him more money with a double no-trade clause.

 

[cristglo]

According to OTC were already over the cap ($9,719,623)
