Boys restructure Steele contract saving 4.5 million

[_sturt_]

Boys restructure Steele save 4.5 million with boys having about 22 million restructuring ceedee and Dak's what are the boys up to

I might not be the first to comment (too lazy to go look, what else is new ) that Steele was predestined to be an off-season cut. It, at least, now might be plausible that they'll keep him.

first off the point was why restructure anyone right now, there is no reason.

But, since you are dwelling on Steele….So you disagree that Steele was bad last year?

what I think means nothing. Why would they restructure a deal? no clue, Im not sitting in meetings with them to see what they have planned. So therefor I wont criticise something I don't have info on.

 

[Blast From The Past]

Probably nothing they like to do this every season and not do nothing but would be nice if they did.

Probably let it roll over to next season to sign xyz player (Micah)

 

[Buzzbait]

He's more likely right. They are likely going to just roll it over to cover the next batch of contracts they sign for players already on their roster.

It certainly won't be to add outside NFL talent to get better.

You're right, he'll HAVE to do that to help pay for for those large expensive contracts, it's called robbing Peter to pay Paul.

They are going to need to free up a lot more for Parson next year.

Not really. The top-paid NFL defensive end is getting $34 million APY. Parsons' will be higher based on when he signs, but because there is no guaranteed money on his fifth-year option, it's likely that the first year will be less than the $21 million he's due.

For comparative purposes, Lamb got his contract this year while set to play on a fifth-year option of $17 million. His first-year cap hit for the extension was reduced to $8.7 million.

Dallas' contract structure is usually a smaller first-year salary and huge base the second year that can be automatically restructured to allow other free agent signings (typically our own and then cheap, one-year deals for outside FAs).

Making room for Micah.

 

[Chasing6]

Need to upgrade the RB position.

Deep RB draft class next year.

 

[Vanilla2]

Is Jim brown sitting at hom eon his couch? Who the hell are they going to add at the RB position today?

Maybe the eagles will trade Barkley. I’ve heard Dexter Coakley is as hot commodity.

Creates cap space to roll into next summer

To do nothing with

Finally, great to see Jerry freeing up some cash to resign Aubrey.

There is no reason to do this at this point. They have plenty of cap space to do whatever they may want. They need to get cap hits off the books, not kick them into outer years. Steele is a guy that was bad last year. If he isn’t better this year, he is a candidate to possibly be cut. So, why we are restructuring him is confusing.

My question is why restructure for the purpose of rolling it over….assuming that’s the reason. You’re borrowing from future years only to roll it to future years. Where’s the advantage?

Also….Steeles 17m for 2025 is already fully guaranteed. Unless traded, which this team doesn’t do, he will be here through at least next season.

4.5 mil rollover into 2025 > 1.125mil over 5 years.

Short term cap space is greater than smaller fixed losses spread out over 5 years.

Damien pierce. D’Onta foreman

 

[DUO_CORE]

And Zach Martin, and Tyron Smith, and Demarcus Lawrence, and Ezekiel Elliot, and Daron Bland, and Brandin Cooks, and Jake Ferguson

Lots of potential contracts next offseason

I think you meant Tyler Smith…I hope we don’t have to pay the Jet’s player contacts! lol

 

[Manwiththeplan]

They are pretty deep at receiver. They have a good one that was inactive against the Browns. They actually upgraded when they let Gallup go. There is a shortage league wide at offensive tackle. Our ace in the hole is that in an emergency Tyler Smith can move out to tackle.

I think they have a lot of guys who are solid #4 WRs who have potential to be a #3

Brooks, Tolbert and Turpin

But if Lamb or Cooks went down I don't trust a single one of them to be the #2

 

[HungryLion]

It is just really rare to trade for a RB in season that ever makes a difference. Id like to see our RBs and see what they can do.

I’ve seen our RB’s and know what they can do. We shouldn’t pretend like our current RB’s are some crop of unknowns.

We have thrown 24 darts at the RB board and still have no RB 1. We had our chance in the off-season

No, he's dead.
