Could this be the last year we see DLAW

[Risen Star]

Oh, I'd love it if it is. Can't stand the dude.

2022 Dead Cap: $8,000,000
2023 Dead Cap: $11,000,000

2022 Cap Savings: $19,000,000

@stasheroo these are the type of business decisions I'm thinking of. Although 2 weeks ago I'd have scoffed. At this point I'd rather keep Coop. Always been a Dlaw supporter but damn it's gonna depend on how this season finishes up. Love to know Jaylons numbers as well. I dont think Zeke is going anywhere yet.

Yeah, but you think everybody is a JAG, and between JAG's and Jerry your keyboard has a a J button wore to a nub.

Not even considering the internet porn.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

One can only hope and pray! I’m tired of having players who underperform after getting paid.

That's literally every player in the league. Nobody gets paid and gets better as they approach their late 20's lol.

I know he will be playing with a fire under his *** for the rest of the season - it's a win, win for us but he is a bum.

So basically your not saving anything when you consider that you have to pay someone else on the DL--that's likely not as good.

And the Jones' son that likes to bargain bin shop so...
Inferior talent and more rollover cap room.

yaaaaaaaaay...

Let’s hope so.

You have Parsons, Odigi and Gregory on the DL now with Gallimore coming back

That money is better off going to Gallup, C. Wilson, Neal, Kearse, Kazee or other players on 1-year deals.

 

[Sydla]

The numbers above appear to be wrong.

His 2022 cap hit is 27 million and 2023 is 29 million.

If you cut him after this year, you save 8 million in cap space with a 19 million dead money hit. If you cut him after 2022, it’s 18 million in saved space with 11 million in dead money.

These are pre-June 1 numbers.

Word up.

 

[My3Sons]

He's going to be here for another season or two- sorry. His play and reliability may have declined some, but he is still a high quality player at an extremely important position (DL) - an area the Cowboys have been weak at for a long time. This, combined with his contract, ensure he'll be here for a while longer.

Not really. He cost 27 million against next years cap to keep. I don't see 27 m in value there. They will bite the bullet and punt him.

 

[Captain-Crash]

hopefully all the "hot boyz" are gone.

 

[RandyOh]

we stuck with him. Thankfully with Parsons showing potential to be a defensive superstar, teams will start to scheme to stop Parsons instead and allow Dlaw to work more 1 on 1s.

 

[TNCowboy]

He’s gone. $8M in cap savings next year, and $40 million in cash saved the next 2 years. For a guy who turned mediocre the minute he got paid. $50 million for 11 sacks in 2 years.

 

[fredp22]

next year is the out year for the contract. I think the team will ask him to rework the contract for a lower number or face a June 1 cut that would be an 8mm hit

 

[Ranched]

Dlaw, Jaylon Smith, LVE & Crawford just to mention a few.

What are the actual cap numbers on him? It’s hard to throw someone off the team without understanding the full impact.

Assuming Dallas doesn’t do another restructure on Tank’s deal next offseason, that dead money drops to just $19 million in 2022. That means the Cowboys could save $8 million in cap space by releasing DLaw outright or $19 million if they make him a June-1st cut.

Could this be the last year we see DLAW…. Why, he is often hurt and after watching Gregory, Odigi and Parson play against the Eagles I wonder if it could slow the progress of these young hungry rookies. IMO DLAWs play has declined, his cap hit is rising which could force the front office to either extend or restructure his contract. Do you get rid of aging often hurt DE or do you simply ask him to take a pay cut or be cut? I mean heck a 2022 June 1st release or trade would net the cowboys $19mil in salary cap savings.

I done with D Law

There is the rare exception to that. The exceptions are usually QB's.

No.

dead cap would be 19 million.

likely RGreg’s last season with us.

DLaw is strong vs run too.
