Cowboys restructure WR Michael Gallup contract, free up $7 million cap space

[TheMarathonContinues]

Depends on where Bobby wants to play at this stage in his career, and unfortunately I do not believe that Bobby is a big fan.

Seems to like Quinn and he likes money…..

A signature Jones contract for the Cowboys to keep players on payroll beyond their productive years and send them off with a balloon payment to be taken as a dead cap hit.

 

[Ekspozed]

I was hoping to be rid of him in 2024

 

[Silverstar]

Anyone like the idea of having Marcus Peters opposite Diggs?

 

[Mannix]

The biggest question left today, is who they will rework next to free up Noah Brown money???

..just keep Gallup out of pre-season. And he'll be fine for reg season. ..

Im fine with the cowboys not getting every big name

but as ive said, fill the holes with people who are good at filling holes

if theyve been cut by 5 teams then we don't always need to be the ones to give him that 6th chance especially if they are at a thin position where they might see starting time

Are you fine with them not ever getting ONE big name? Or would you like them to continue on the straight and narrow path to nowhere they have been on?

Now cut Zeke and re work #77s deal.

No. They are gonna wait on Zeke. They want to keep him but he's got to come to terms with making significantly less.

[Typhus]

Thought he was interested last year.... or was I taken in by Jerry Spin?

Who doesnt want a star on their helmet... still.

 

[Davidlee1973]

Yes please and thank you

And yet they do nothing

 

[Risen Star]

We're about to do something big.

 

[Kingofholland]

Lol restructuring deals on dudes who had their worst year to date sound plan

7 million spread over 3 years won't make a big difference whether if they keep him or cut him. Clearly though they think he will take steps forward in 2023.

Thank you for clarifying

 

[xwalker]

Does this not push the money down the road and make it harder to get out of the contract earlier? Genuine question?

The player gets his 2023 salary in March instead of during the 2023 season...

You could of walked away from his contract free next year. Now you can't, and anyone with a brain would of chose that option.

Wrong!

That is an uninformed person's perspective.

I think they will keep Zeke on the roster at his current cap number, if he does not take a pay cut, then they will see what they come out of the draft with, and if they like what they have they will cut Zeke and he will be hitting free agency at a really bad time.

Time is on the Cowboys’ side this time around and Zeke knows that this could happen to him. So as time goes on the pressure for Zeke to take a deep pay cut builds, day by day. Cabo, in reverse.

Ok thank you. Put my foot in my mouth playing semantics with the terminology lol

 

[Mr Cowboy]

Typical Cap Boy move. Create space, don't spend it.

They just needed a little more cash for the yacht trip to the French Riviera.

Heck it might be for OBJ. I know he set his price at 20 mil per but ain’t nobody giving him that. Might have to settle for something in the 12-15 range. Seems like they’re working on something. Who the heck knows…
