Twitter: Cowboys restructure the contracts for offensive lineman Martin, Smith & La'el Collins

[ShortRound]

Finally feels like we're moving, doesn't it? Cowboys!

YeeHaw!!

Lotta cap space now. Between Dak and these guys we're almost 40 mill down from where we were yesterday

 

[CWR]

Wow that sounds like enough to get a legit player or two. Jerry always keeping it interesting.

Thanks for the cap update. I wonder if we are about to go all in?

 

[Carson]

Coop next? Let’s go shopping next week

I just hope those offensive lineman are good to go for a few more years

congrats, OP, on beating @Risen Star to the post.

A mega contract for a mediocre QB who broke a leg and dislocated an ankle and restructures for two OL, Smith and Collins, who played a total of 2(?) games last year before surgeries. Yeah, what could go wrong with this thinking?

On the bright side, at least it wasn’t restructures for Elliott, Lawrence, and Jaylon Smith. Keeping my hopes up for all three being gone next year.

If they also restructure Coop and DLaw, which are probably more obvious than Smith and Collins, and then cut Jones, and a couple of others, we should actually have quite a bit to play with.

I'm not sure where that math is coming from. Dak didn't clear any space, he cost space. He's just cheaper than he was last year. Spotrac didn't update the restructures, but our top 51 was 2 million under the cap. Add the 17 million makes 19 million under the cap. Add rookies, and as of right now Dallas has 10 million. I'm sure there's more to come however.

That’s my feeling. Coop and Lawrence. Have good chunk to work with.

His cap hit last year was over $31 million and the tag this year was $37.7 and his new cap hit is $22.2

Keanu Neal seems like a target. Imagine we'll grab a 1 tech as well and a vet CB on a year to year deal (Sherman would be my choice).

Make those moves and we will be well placed to go BPA at #10. I'm hoping for the TE

He would have counted 37 mill. Now he counts around 20

What his cap hit would have been was never realized. That's not clearing cap space.

If your car doesn't start and you have to pay 50 bucks for an Uber, but end up starting your car and only paying 5 for gas. Do you then say, WoW! I have 45 extra bucks.

Yes. Yes you do because you were stuck with 2 costs and you had to pay one no matter what and you got to pay the lesser one.

The chances that Jerry goes for an OT at 10 just took a hit.

This tells me Tyron fully expects to play at least two more years.

Would have. This is what happened. Forget what could have or would have. Dallas had a certain amount of cap space before they signed Dak. Dak was not on the books. After signing Dak Dallas has 22.2 million less as a result of that signing. Then add the 17 million in restructures.
