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
what about a restructure with dak how much would that give us in total, let's not factor in the june money that doesn't help us any time soon

:lmao2: at all the freaking out some were over the salary cap. All of a sudden we are close to even.
As I said, I don't get into the salary cap dilemma as it always works itself out.

Yes there are still issues, like the big chunk owed to our QB. They still need to create room to sign some of their own FA's, any extensions, and the pool for the draft picks. Which can come from Gallup be named a post June 1st cut.

But this is nothing in which they have not been through before. Except the exuberant amount owed to Dak.
But now it is all within a reasonable reach to get things done.

They can restructure a few contracts, and release a few players. Releasing Rush will save $2.5 million in itself.
2.5 can get you a good starting 4th Cb from the bottom barrel

Restructuring is bad and adding void years doesn’t help.

This pretty much means Dak could be on his final year if they choose to.

The odds of Dak getting a massive extension have now been trimmed...........significantly!!

explain explain, why not??? oh my gosh i'm starting to smile, time for a change around here!!
Gives us more room to absorb his 59 million cap hit not a paycheck.
Never forget we also have the post-June 1st cut which will leave us with MORE cap room.
Carson has posted an informative post concerning this above.
No way Jose does Todd dance on the Star at this point..........NO WAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What we don't know or trust is the goofball GM of ours..........

It's too bad Cowboyszone isn't in charge of the salary cap, Jerry Jones is.

For this interested at an easy $82 million in cap space

Well, this means "going all in" can get stupid expensive now for 2024.

Currently at $-3M in cap space.

Get a Dak extension done and bring his cap hit down to $39.45M (for easy math reasons) - Opens up $20M

Get a CD extension done and bring his cap hit down $10.99M (for easy math reasons) - Opens up $7M

Get a Martin extension done and bring his cap hit down $18.5M (for easy math reasons) - Opens up $10M

Restructure Diggs - Opens up $9M

Restructure Steele - Opens up $6M

Restructure Wilson - Opens up $2.5M

Cap increase - Opens up $30.6M

Leaves us with around $82M in 2024 cap space. Jerry needs to stunt on the FA market man....

You also can release Rush and LVE for an additional $5 million giving you $87 million in cap

I don't think it's going to change anything in regards to Dak, because that would imply Jerry wants to get rid of him.

It might change things as far as a free agent (Chris Jones?) but then again, every team is getting the cap increase.

30 of that goes to Micah though, and I think we're currently around 16-20 mil over the cap actually. So that leaves about 32-36.
