Cap Hell?

[cowboybish]

We are going to be in cap hell if we keep these three. Parsons is going to want the world. Should we consider trading Prescott, Parsons and Lamb? Can we get a first round pick for Prescott and Lamb and maybe two for Parsons? Take a QB with best pick. Take a LB & OL with the next 2.

There is no such thing as cap hell in the modern NFL with restructuring.

 

[Carson]

Cap hell is a myth.

Saints have been in cap hell and still field decent teams and sign players.

Not saying Follow their method but its easy to maneuver

I really wish people would understand this and wring hands less

Tell me you don't understand the salary cap without saying you don't understand the salary cap.

Technically there is not cap hell.

All situations are different. saints have continued pushing it and are against the wall now.

We simply resign Dak and restructure Martin and Diggs and have over $25 million in space

As long as the cap keeps going up you can manage it.

Cap hell came when the cap was stagnant.

Sign and restructure… not a big deal sheesh!

If there is no cap hell that why can't we sign tier I free agents?

They can.

They choose not to

Go to your mirror, look in it and say “There is no such thing as cap hell in the NFL unless a team wants to use it as an excuse?”

Correct and I believe extending CD gives us some room too

 

[KingintheNorth]

Cap Hell is an excuse for Stephen to be lazy.

Cap hell is a myth.

True, but Jerry hell is real.

 

[JeffInDC]

According to Over the Cap, simply restructuring Dak's last year (because of the Void years built in), Martin, and Diggs gives them $22M+ in cap room. Then, if they extend CeeDee, that would probably drop his $17M+ cap hit down to $10M or less. So, they could EASILY have $30M in Cap Space for FA WITHOUT EXTENDING DAK. And, they would have $95M+ in '25 with 40 players signed.

The salary cap is real. "Cap Hell" exists. Dead money results in fewer salary cap dollars available.
Yes- restructures can kick the can down the road.
Yes- the salary cap increases over time.
None of that changes the fact that every team has limited salary cap dollars.
The idea that "Cap Hell" is a myth or does not exist is one of the dumbest ideas ever. Sure, you can restructure Dak, sign Parsons to a record deal, etc..., but don't pretend that doesn't limit available cap dollars in the future- no matter how much the cap increases.

You're overestimating Stephen's cap management skills.

 

[TwistedL0g1k]

Ezekiel Elliott will count $6M against Dallas's 2024 salary cap. Those are real, current dollars. That's $6M that cannot be used to bring in a quality free agent, or used to retain a current player.

No amount of future increases in the salary cap change that fact.

Just one example. "Cap Hell" is shades of grey.

I dont think that is correct man.

Dudes are gonna get cut.

I think Gallup is gonna get cut for sure. That saves 9.x million.
