Not that I dont want them....but you have to work long term with them. That might free up enogh to sign one starter in FA

Spencer has all the leverage right now. It's a terrible position for the Cowboys to negotiate from.

Really, the same from Romo -- he has all the leverage as well.

Romo and Ware?

 

[Beats_By_Zeke]

which 2 players are we talking about?

 

[Bowdown27]

Tony romo and spencer

 

[Vintage]

Ware and Carr?

You are clueless about a lot, huh?

 

[The Natural]

why are we talking in code

 

[NEODOG]

Romo $16 mil
Spencer $10 mil

 

[AbeBeta]

Romo $16 mil
Spencer $10 mil

Looking around the NFL, those are not unreasonable salaries

The key is to get a deal done with at least one of those guys.

Hopefully its both of them for the sake of our salary cap. I prefer it be Romo. I can settle for Spencer on a 1 year 10 million dollar deal.

While I agree, simply put a long term can reduce both numbers to more favorable cap figures though

If we can at least get Romo done, we'll probably have around $8 to $10mm extra under the cap. That would be enough to get 2-3 mid-tier FAs.

Sure -- and I think one of those will get done this week.

But one thing to keep in mind -- with all the complaining about "kicking the can" for contracts. Here we have two deals that are pay as you go ... does that seem favorable?

I didn't realize we would have that much to play with. How much would it be if we got both done?

Not with those figures or positions....Especially snce I dont believe paying our QB franchise $$$$ until this team proves to be a winner with him at the helm--good yes...NOT GREAT

Reducing each cap hit by 5m would help in FA and wouldn't kick too much extra money down the road. But that is incumbent on the idea of keeping them for 3-4 more years.

So you hate Romo. Do we really need another thread about that?
