AFC potential cut candidates: Nick Chubb, Joey Bosa are potential cap casualties

[thunderpimp91]

He’s near end of career.

And UFA soon.

Take the savings and use them to sign Tyron.

I'm just not sure how you replace the guy and dont leave another massive hole on the DL. I would have to believe a short extension would be more likely to help the cap situation than cutting the guy

I agree ........it's not about the sacks with him but he's one of the best DE run defenders in the league. Keeping him for around $10M is an easy decision for me.

If I had to pick DLaw or Tyron, which we are going to have to do, I think Tyron stays.

 

[Cowboysheelsreds053]

Bosa vs Tyron Smith in Training camp would be legit for the 6 snaps till someone pulls up lol.

Knowing our luck, Joey would sign a 1 year deal with the 49ers and then stay healthy with a career season.

Lol, this

 

[Adreme]

Surprised that DLaw isnt mentioned….unless I missed it.

Saves 10 mill post June.

Uh he has a salary of 10m, not much, and is by far the best run stopper on a team that needs to get better against the run. He is not a cut candidate.

 

[Adreme]

Lol, this

It is amazing how healthy players get once they aren’t on the Chargers.

 

[Chasing6]

He has been our "best run defender" for 10 years now. 10 years where the run defense has been terrible. Perhaps it is time to get a new "best run defender".

That is not how that works. Time to get other plays that don't just rush the passer.

 

[Vinnie2u]

If Jerry & the gang would of listened to me last year and draft a RB round 2-4 we wouldn't have a RB problem.. Now we have 4 TE's on the roster fighting for 2 positions and no RB's worth a crap..

 

[FVSTONE]

My goodness......some good players ( could this be Jerry's "all in"? )

Bosa?????? When was the last time that this dude played in a season where he didn't land on SD OR LA injury list?????? LOL!!!!!

 

[Toro9]

I'd like to take Chubb for a couple years but RBs simply shouldn't get big 2nd contracts. I think even Jerry knows that now. The poundings these guys take is second to none. Hit on every play and expected to keep going year after year... Nope. Unless you're a scatback and know how to go down without getting hammered, you won't last very long.

 

[CowboysLakerBamaFan]

Both of those guys would be GREAT pick-ups! unless they are hurt.....

Which they are

And old too

 

[TNCowboy]

Give me Chubb all day. Incentive laden deal. When healthy he’s a top 3 back in the league

Did you see his injury? I have my doubts he'll ever be the same again.

 

[Coogiguy03]

The Cowboys will look at neither of these guys.

Oh yes they will they're injured we love them

 

[Captain-Crash]

Bosa will end up with his brother.

 

[GimmeTheBall!]

Surprised that DLaw isnt mentioned….unless I missed it.

Dflaw is too tired to play in 2023.

 

[Cowboysheelsreds053]

This, let’s get younger not older, especially at these positions.

 

[plymkr]

So we are going to need a #2 WR?????

Should we keep an eye on 24 for a replacement?



The Cowboys are currently projected to be $19.7 million over the cap (second-most in the NFC) and are yet again searching for the right piece(s) to make a run into February. Neither Gallup nor Cooks seem like a fit for the WR2 shoes behind CeeDee Lamb and either/both would save the team money if released. (Gallup would likely need to be a post-June 1 cut.) Hopefully for Dallas fans' sake, the 'Boys can find an answer for that glaring WR2 hole in free agency or the draft.

I thought Brandin Cooks played well towards the middle of the season and beyond. He’s no CD but few WRs are. I’d like to keep Cooks depending on salary. Gallup is gone.

 

[plymkr]

Dflaw is too tired to play in 2023.

Lol. Right. We don’t want to burn him out anymore or take away precious time he could be selling protein shakes.

I’m not anti DLaw, but post June cut saves the team a lot of cap.
