Perfect........ya we can manage without an extension as Cap boy Stephen is on the Job baby!!!
So we got the luxury of proving them years for MM and Dak or it's hit the road time.
FA ............common now when the last time we spent serious cap cash on those?????????????

 

[_sturt_]

But seriously... how does this revelation change the Dak contract situation, if at all?

 

[big dog cowboy]

Even higher than we expected? I'm sure the upcoming FA's will be thrilled!

It doesn't at all. Nothing changed today.

 

[America's Cowboy]

Dak still needs to give a discount!!!

 

[JBS]

We can pay Dak 70M a year now

Not really seeking conclusions so much as I'm seeking lines of reason that lead to conclusions.

And unfortunately, that's probably how his agent is thinking right now

basically we were projected to be between anywhere from $-16 to $-14 million with a projection of 244 million.

The additional $11 million puts us closer to being under the cap.

You simply restructure Martin and we are under now.

You don’t have to extend him now to to get under and still have wiggle room

Restructure Martin, Tank. Extend Lamb. Cut LVE, Rush and Gallup and you are easily +10-$15 million with Gallup giving you an additional $9 million post June

We are really in for a massive wave of talent coming in a few weeks.

Everybody get down below.

Rockport, I want you up here with me.

Keep your discount bud as with the increase even the buffoons we have running the joint can squeeze in the 59 cap hit.
FA,s common now............

Dak's salary cap hit doesn't change because the salary cap went up. It's still far too high and hinders the team unless he gets an extension.

With the proper adjustments with certain contracts/cuts, as we do not spend heavily in the FA market no matter what Jerry is telling us winner-winner chicken dinner!
They can fit that 59 million and trust me you will witness it live and living color........patience.

I don’t think so anymore. The extra 11-12 million puts Dallas more so around negative $3-4 million now.

You won’t be big players in Free agency .. but if they extend Dak they could easily get around 40-50 million in cap space

How the salary cap has grown over the years.

All true, but it does give the Cowboys more options if they are struggling to come to terms with Dak on an extension. It doesn't change a ton in the grand scheme but does give the Cowboys some leverage in negotiations if Daks team is playing hard ball as it's easier to get under the cap prior to the start of the league year without Daks help.
