Cap situations next couple yrs

[LatinMind]

Total slaary of players already on contractfor 2014 is 134,842,557
Dead money 11,781,101

Total cap money is 146,623,658

This is the first time ive ever looked it up for next season. Its not as bad as the 30+ mil

And to add to the cap dallas has its own RFA to tender
Dan Bailey
Chris Jones

Then have questions about UFA
Jason Hatcher
Brian Waters
Danny McCray

Dallas will most likely need 2 DT, Atleast 1 DE. I think resigning Hatcher is important, but i doubt it can be done.

One thing is see about Romos contract is in 2015 he has 15 more million guaranteed. 7.5 mil is guaranteed in 2015 if he is on the team on the 3rd league day of 2014. And another 7.5 is guaranteed in 2015 if he is on the team on the 3rd league day of 2015.

So if hes on the team on the 3rd day of 2015 15 mil of his 17 mil base salary will be guaranteed. so in essense 23,273,000 of his 25,273,000 cap will be guaranteed. you save a little over 5mil if you cut him. This is a great yr to draft a QB. Let him sit and learn for a yr and send Romo packing 2015.

19 mil will be Dead money but his contract actually guarantees if Dallas wanted to cut him he would have to be cut as soon as the league season starts or before. It wouldnt be a dragged out process.

Not only that but Dallas has other FAs to account for.

2015 FAs
Demarco Murray
Bruce Carter
Dez Bryant
Tyron Smith

Thats a big deal. And all are UFA

Murray Dez and Smith will get deals mandatory. The question is Carter but i think this guy is too talented to not get it together. and he will be resigned to.

This is the time to start eating that money for mistakes.

Starts this yr with Ware, and Austin if you ask me. Release both.

I can handle a rebuild. But i cant handle 12 mil a yr players nonproductivity.

As i said this is the perfect yr to draft a future QB.

Bridgewater
Mariota
Manziel
Hundley
Carr
Tajh
Mettenberger
Murray
McCarron
Morris

Smith is the only player on the list that should be extended. The rest can go find $$ elsewhere.

There isnt 51 players on contract for next yr. theres 48 i think it was. and as of ur right now ur math is a little off. But i think the number might go down some if they decide to get money back from the Ratliff robbery

I just used the #48 salary for #49 through #51.

I agree. Draft a QB this year. As high as we can get one.......then draft another in the later rounds......!!!

QB will be deep in the upcoming draft.........

Were going to need a QB, ready to go.......in a few years anyway.....Jerry will probably draft a WR. Or TE

To me, it's close enough to know we can make a key acquisition this offseason.
