Bob Sturm Prediction: Cowboys Moving Around 2024 Money for Dak Deal before Week 1

[phildadon86]

After all the cuts, and the new CD contract, Dallas has $12.x million in free cap for 2024.

How good is Zeke?

Also the cowboys have 28.5 million without taking lambs deal into the equation. And he is on the last year of his old deal.

Maybe I am wrong. Cap isn’t my forte but they have room.

So has it happened yet? Is it gonna be today?

Bob?

Or they could be moving money around for Micah who is on deck to become the highest paid defensive player in NFL history. If the team flames out again this year, Dak will be seeking his paycheck somewhere else.

Micah gonna get paid.

Next Summer for real.

He’s due $20+ mil in base next season, with the 5th year option.

Probably goes the same route as CD.

Huge signing bonus that is split over the multi year contract, for cap savings.

70 mil signing bonus
30mil per year

Not a Zeke thread, but Zeke scores a lot of TDs and makes a lot of 1st downs.

That is what Dallas is buying this season.

10 TDs
50 1st downs

It’s like the movie MoneyBall.

How many of those can the other RBs give us?

We need to score 40-50 TDs this season.

If the Cowboys sign Dak they better get rid of the no trade clause. Then trade him!

They better hurry. Our week one game is 8 days away. I know they will sign him. JJ loves to wait so it makes a bigger splash.

RBs don't get better with age. You are trying to tell us we bought a Zeke from a few years ago, not the current Zeke who shouldn't even be in the NFL.

What about Bob?

 

[BoysForLife]

He freaking loves him some Dak

He certainly spends a lot of time polishing Daks boots...

 

[DallasDW00ds0n]

Poor Bob. Lol

 

[StarBoyz83]

Micah gonna get paid.

It'll be more like 35+ per year but I agree this is what will happen

 

[Flamma]

So this is moving around Lamb money. BTW, why does Aiyuk's contract details look so much better than Lamb's? He's only getting 4M less a year, yet Lamb's cap hits are way higher.

Great stuff! Love it! Keep it coming!

 

[5Stars]

Call him the "word"...

 

[DCwarrior]

Anti Dak hopium smokers still don't see the light?

I mean, they are moving money around. Never mind that Dak is pretty much similar to Matt Ryan in terms of regular season wins and Ryan was nearly Falcons for life. What would be different here?

Ryan went to a SB!

 

[VaqueroTD]

Where is @DallasEast with another Home Alone countdown on Bob Sturm?

Starting to see how I too can be a media guy. Throw it out there that it’s going to happen now. Ignore the wrong predictions and hype the one that went right.
If you throw enough you-know-what at the wall, something will stick.

 

[DandyDon52]

I initially predicted the deadline would be before the season starts.
Jerry is a caveman, so it may just happen.
With the jones boys, anything is possible.

I think they should wait, keep people talking about it ! Then give him a 70 mil deal in off season,so people will talk about that too!.

Pay Dak
