Thank you for that lengthy but precise explanation brother.Yes. Standard cut the Cowboys receive the cap savings immediately. 4.25mil to re-sign guys in March. The dead cap is accelerated signing bonus which is only 2mil left. So cap hit of 6.25mil -2 mil dead(2022+2023 SB) = 4.25 instant cap space
Post June 1st cut the team doesn't get the cap savings till... June 1st. Which would be 5.25mil in 2022 but a dead cap of 1mil in 2023.
6.25mil - 1mil dead(2022)=5.25 on 6/1
