but nearly 9mil in dead cap if cut for Tyron and 6 for zeke. so iMHO if zeke restructures to 2 yrs 12 he would be easier to keep. i mean hes paid that regardless. would Tyron restructure down that much? have to watch dead cap as well. but TS saving us 10mil if cut says hes likely to not be here over zeke should Zeke agree to that deal.
Tyron is owed 8M in dead cap if cut BEFORE June 1st.
If cut after he would cost 4M this year in dead cap, 4M next year
A vet min deal plus say 500K a game bonus.
2m vet min base, 2M likely to be earned bonus(4 ganes x 500K). 4M cap hit. --8M in cap hit total, Down 9M from current.
Max salary of 10.5M --that Dallas can control via making inactive or releasing per game.
Zeke is harder to handle because his dead cap is higher. He has 11.8M in dead cap and a lower base at 10.9M.
There's no benefit to a release and re-sign with him that I can see.
But you could just designate him a June 2nd and move on. You'd eat roughly 5.8M in dead cap this year and the same next year.
Or Zeke takes a haircut to get down to 5M base and restructre that 5M to cost about 6.5M in cap hit to have hit versus 5.8M to see him go.
As a 2nd RB and short yardage guy he's worth 800K more IMO.
BUT, he could be a progress stopper and at some point that band-aid comes off.
Does he really wanna be here one more year?
Does this team want that security blanket in blocking?
Guess we shall see.
Guesstimate:
10% chance Tyron is back on current deal.
20% chance he is back on a restructured/new deal
70% chance he is gone.
0% chance Zeke is back on current deal
40% chance he is back on restructured deal
60% chance he is gone.
