Twitter: Cowboys restructure Witten's contract

[Risen Star]

The Cowboys have restructured the contract of 11-time Pro Bowl tight end Jason Witten, creating roughly $3.5 million in salary cap space, according to sources. Witten is the second contract the Cowboys have re-worked in the last week, along with Pro Bowl center Travis Frederick, which created nearly $7 million in cap room.

No surprise there, we need the cap space. I’m just surprised it’s taken this long.

That means he is definitely staying for 2018.

Hopefully Fleming and Martin. Locks up offensive line depth and we can focus on MLB

Big salary increase for Jeff Heath incoming

Same ppl praising this will be pissed when he retires and is collecting a crap ton in dead money. I’m very against restructuring unless it’s for top FAs...

 

[Nightman]

Told ya suckers

Drips and drabs...... all ends up at the same place

That is 38-40m in cap space so far this offseason

Yeah I am waiting on details. I don't want dead cap money tied to Witten going forward.

Don't disagree. It should be a pay CUT nor pushung money out..
