Hey Cowboys family, pretty boring these days without football, I just wanted to touch on the contracts of players on this team.
We sign our players to deals as they should be, but later in the contract we restructure money in the contract to push money down the road. Now I've heard plenty of people on here sat that this is built into the contracts upon signing the deal. But then what happens when have to the up paying that huge number, we again have to restructure again.
My question is, why can't we front load the contract when the player is actually coming off a good season(s) to get the new deal. You'd expect them in the first two years to still be on their PEAK, as opposed to back loading the deal when the player is several years into the contract and their play maybe has declined for whatever reason. I mean how many big deals have we signed over the years, and players didn't pan out all the way through the deal, yet at the end of the deal there's a huge cap number.
Could someone please help me understand this, hope everyone is having a great summer!
