Twitter: Cowboys restructure Prescott and Martin

[jgboys1]

Restructure; not an extension yet.

There is still hope.

Cowboys are doing as all other teams do. This is not isolated to the Cowboys. Our focus is on the Cowboys but look around the NFL Eagles have 54 mill in dead money this year yet we have some who will tell us that we should follow how they do business.

As for your Eagles comment, they are the POLAR OPPOSITE of how we manage the CAP, they trade draft picks, go ALL-IN, tear down teams and rebuild.....they will make a run this year and then break up this band.

 

[Doomsday101]

What other teams have does effect us....that's why we overpay OUR GUYS as in most every year we are so short of CAP Space (compared to other teams) that we know if the player hits FA we are unlikely to be able to compete.

Just saying the CAP's increasing needs to be put in context, rather than the caveman analysis of 'have CAP, spend CAP'.

Everyone overpays their guys damn look around at the contracts being dished out and what teams are willing to pay in FA. Much of what teams are doing does center around the cap and the expansion of the cap, these deals are not do haphazardly I know people here love to think Jerry is an idiot with no clue but the cap and contracts are setup to allow them to work within the structure of the salary cap.

Dallas now with $14.1 million of cap space; with more to come from Tyron Smith's restructure and Zeke's restructure or release. They can also tinker with Michael Gallup's deal and open up another $7.8 million.

But the real question is will they do anything with the available cash.

 

[rags747]

Martin has been restructured a couple of times already,no?

 

[fivetwos]

Does anyone know if we added years to Dak's contract ?
Or did we just shift the money around ?

The short version…..no on the years, but it now makes an eventual extension more necessary, so in effect, yes.

They aren’t looking to move on from him any more than Jerry is willing to sell the team, so you’re stuck with this for the foreseeable future.

The good news is more and more teams are spending 40m on QBs who are even worse.

 

[DandyDon52]

uh oh. The greedy quarterback surrendered money back to his boss. This is the kind of cooperation between boss and employee that might favorably lengthen their partnership for several more years. Will CowboysZone survive this latest news? Stay tuned true believers!

No $ was surrendered lol, they just pushed the money from this year to 2024. That means the cap hit for 24 will be way too high.
But this does give them another year to see how dak does with MM running offense.
But they either HAVE to extend him, or eat a massive cap hit in 24.

They should draft Duggan, and then they could give him a try in 24 if dak does not do any better in 23.

 

[CT Dal Fan]

Before the Dak haters line up on a cliff, remember the Cowboys added two "ghost" years to his deal with the idea of doing these restructures and pushing the money into that part of the contract.

No new money involved, so take a deep breath. It was accounted for when he signed in 2021.

That 14 million right now isn’t accounting for Steele’s contract so it’s closer to 10 million.

Well the fact they did not extend dak now, says they this might be a prove it year for dak.
If he does the same or worse this season, then they might have a plan where they dont extend him.

The restructure surprises me, I thought they would extend him now.

 

[Zekeats]

Now we got Dak for another 10 years....

*** they’ll never learn. I wish there was no football till 2028 when this fraud is gone

 

[Staubacher]

Dak may not be elite but his agent sure is.

 

[Zekeats]

Correct. He’s in year 3 of a 4 year deal. His cap hit is $52 million BEFORE this restructure.

They will extend him a year or two to drop it next season.

Yuk

Do you honestly think they would risk being relevant for a period of time in order to find a better QB?

I don’t, and Im not fully convinced they need to, they just need to use the one they have correctly….and now that several other QBs who are documentally worse have gotten the same or more money, just maybe coach Jerry’s ego will allow that to happen.

The moves not only get the Cowboys under the 2023 cap of $224.8 million before March 15, the start of the league year and the beginning of free agency, but it allows them to be players on the market as they look to improve the roster with outside additions, while competing to re-sign some of their own players.


The moves, however, do not preclude the Cowboys from signing Prescott to a contract extension, which vice president Stephen Jones has said is on the team’s list of things to do.

It may even increase the likely of them doing so.

As while the Cowboys lowered Prescott’s cap figure for 2023 from $49 million to $27 million, his 2024 salary cap hit, in the final year of the four-year, $160 million deal he signed in 2021, has increased to more than $59 million.

Sweet. Terence Williams resigning incoming. Dak needs a body catcher to throw less picks.

Body catching would certainly be better than the North Dallas Volleyball Team we had at receiver in 2022.

Dak has all the cards, im sure if the season didnt end (with as many questions about him than answers), i'm sure both sides would of agreed an extension that paid him position setting amount ....moving forward that would of given us another couple of years of minimal (bonus relieved) years.

We had to restructure him to get any sort of decent CAP relief and yep it's a prove it year...we'd save $34m as a post june 2024 cut, if we think extending him again wont get us to the promised SB land.

makes sense in 2024-2025 market and tv money goes up.

So Dak's going to get France to take a team discount and do it in less than 5 months, not the 2 years he took the first time as it appears the FO (for all Stephen's bravado) appear uncertain of Dak's future. I'd be scared if Dak/France talked a contract extension as it opposes their "we'll prove ourselves" rhetoric of the last negotiation.....though I would respect him if he accepted he needs players around him and took less money to ensure succes.
