Taking a look at the cap space for 2021 the Cowboys appear to have 36 million in cap space.

This is without Dak on there and with guys like Crawford no longer on the books.
If Dak signs a long term deal then I dont see an issue at all. The hit will probably be in the 30M range even if his salary average is 35.
With rookie signings this would appear to give us plenty of room to sign all of them, however we would be right up against the cap.
This however, would be before any restructuring would take place or letting go manuevering. Which I would like to see them keep to a minimum.
It appears the Cowboys have definitely prepared well for this day as they have all the money for these guys going forward.
As long as the Cowboys continue to draft well, I dont see the cap being an issue at all. The ONLY big signing in the next two years is Gallup and LVE. I dont see them keeping Gallup, unless he signs for something under his value. I just dont see it happening.
Zeke and his 15 million comes off after the 2022 season so we see reprieve there.
Maybe the Cowboys let Cooper walk after 2022 as well and keep Gallup. That would probably be my play. No need to have a 20M receiver on the team if you definitely dont need him.
I think the play is to sign Dak to 4 years and that is the window. In that time we draft his replacement and groom him. If we havent groomed a young stud at QB then evaluate the state of the team then.
