Tasty.

 

[dallasdave]

That's something positive, to start the season with

 

[DeaconMoss]

Thats a vet FA salary in itself right there.

 

[Risen Star]

You could look at it as this year's rookie class is already paid for with that added cap room.

 

[dallasdave]

A good investment for the future.

 

[Setackin]

Every penny counts!

Yep, it'll be pretty close to that...maybe even a little less.

By restructuring or releasing Carr and Free, Dallas could create upwards of $15 million in cap space. And by extending Dez, he won't count all that much toward the cap. (That's why Dez has more leverage with the franchise tag than Dallas, because it would kill that cap space.)

Dallas can pretty much sign who they want. I trust Will McClay to evaluate bang for buck and put together a plan to VASTLY improve the defense next season.

Imagine last year with a prime pass rush, better free safety play, and a running back that can hit the home run.

When do they actually announce what the cap will be?

Should be less.

I wonder how much dead money there will be in 2015. Austin? Ware? who else?

I saw on twitter Miles still has a $5m cap number and somebody else for a $1M. Can't think of who at the moment.

And don't forget that we will want money to carry into the season for any veterans that need to be signed over the course of the year

5.1M for Miles Austin, 2.3M for Kyle Orton, 221K for BW Webb, and then another 370K for training camp guys along with types like Holloman, Will Smith, Ken Bishop, Matt Johnson etc

That's a lot of money for damaged " Hammies ".

I'm not sure but obviously it has to be earlier than the new league year in March.

 

[Eskimo]

There really ought to be a way to get that cap back for Orton and his pretend retirement. There is a serious hole in the CBA there for players who pass their year-end physicals who then feign retirement/injury as the case may be.

When will we know what the actual cap is?
