First off you came at me all hostile and with some sort of entitled heir of superiority because I made a comment about the Cap. Where we got sideways is my comment about "It's hard to keep a straight face with the argument when you total 31 million in dead money" I wasn't questioning you.
I'm not trying to step to anyone, I 'was' trying to have a discussion with you. But apparently your high horse is so tall you can't engage or educate others with your superior wisdom.
I guess you couldn't see who I was alluding to with my DE comment. We couldn't afford Demarcus Ware because of the cap bungling. We couldn't afford Demarco Murray because of the cap bungling. In large part we had to let Leary go as well because we didn't have the money, it was tied up in the Romo dead money. Which by the way was a terrible bungling of resources, because he kept kicking that can down the road when that 'Guaranteed' money would have been paid years ago instead of paying for a player that is off the team. Why did he kick the can down the road? Because we had no cap room.
I'm not disagreeing with your overall premise at all because I understand the cap raises and based on simple percentages it's not always bad to punt money down the road. You missed all that though in your rush to make sure you are the Cap "God"

You decided to get froggy and started to mock my comments so I took you as another troll and you have done nothing to dissuade that notion
Your little snarky remarks were noted and responded to in kind
It doesn't help that you are 100% wrong in your analysis.... DWare, DMurray and RLeary were let go because their SALARIES were too high compared to their value.... it had nothing to do with the cap
DAL would have saved more cap room with DWare with a simple restructure than his release,,, he was coming off several down years to injury and we were switching back to a 4-3 so they thought he was expendable at 12m ...... and they were right.... we got Mincey and 6 sacks for 1m instead DWare for 12m
DMurray went to the highest bidder and RLeary was never worth 35m with his knees and he proved that in DEN
There was no cap bungling.... just some poor signings.....it is one of the biggest myths around here.... it was tight a couple years but we still signed FAs like Carr and Melton and GHardy and extended all of our stars like Romo and Tron and Dez and Church and Witten and Lee and Free and Ratliff and Austin and MBIII and RWilliams and TFred and TCrawford
