Twitter: Cowboys restructured Martin's contract, clearing $13M

Fantastic. Looking forward to choking on Martins dead money for years to come. A true hall of famer if I ever saw one.

 

[The Quest for Six]

Dallas is now cap compliant by 3 million for the start of the 2024 season next week..

 

[Risen Star]

You're totally off. You extend Dak if you plan on signing free agents. You do this just to get under the cap.

This is the first of a series of moves.

Now get strapped in to your booster seat, hater. We will force feed you all these top signings. I'll even make choo choo sounds.

yeah, already choking on Zeke's and Collin's dead money and probably add Gallops dead money in June

 

[MyFairLady]

The higher the salary cap goes up the larger the advantage is for teams that do not spend their money on magic beans.

 

[Risen Star]

No need, better off giving Dak the ability to play for his next contract.

Nope. You load up when you're around the rim like this.

Let's not discount being around the rim.

Around the rim.

 

[Streifenkarl]

You don't make this move unless you're planning on signing all the top free agents.

Well I know you're the king of sarcasm on these boards (if not cynicism ) but they COULD go all in with this. Lets say they restructured Dak etc. AND signed the best available FAs or even made a couple of trades LA Rams style then I could see a strategy there for '24 and '25.

If all it is is restructuring those contracts and going into the season with 30 mill under cap or something I would just scratch my head. Then they would have just extended our path of suffering.

6 million more for Tyron Smith. I guess it was worth it for all the super bowls we played in with all the hall of fame talent.

You've got it pegged. I can't wait until next week.

Not gonna lie, how the salary cap works confuses the hell out of me.

Not gonna lie, how the salary cap works confuses the hell out of me.

All it is now is backloading contracts, moving the cap to later years as the cap rises higher and higher

 

[Sandyf]

With the restructure of Martin salary these are the numbers.
Cap space counting all current contracts is $3,155,939.
Cap space counting top 51 contracts is $8,960,939.
The only number to know going into the March 13th new NFL is the top 51.

 

[Creeper]

This restructure pushes $26 million into voided years when Martin may not even play for the Cowboys. This means they will almost certainly extend him after this year.

LOL.

Your bitterness over Martin is one of the weirder things on this site.

 

[Silver N Blue]

Oh the excitement of the All In 3 for the price of 1 organization.

 

[Risen Star]

We're even acing next year's offseason too.

He was doing a bit. Just assume that in most cases when he comments. He doesn’t mean half the things he says. They are for effect.

 

[Jimbo123]

Extend Lamb only if they plan to resign Dak. No Dak, it would be senseless to extend Lamb, unless you're sold on Cooper Rush.

 

[speedkilz88]

The anual Martin restructure.

It's brown hog day.

You have a "brown hog day" in London?

 

[jazzcat22]

We should be under now. And we know the Cowboys aren't done. All their multi-year contract are built for restructuring now.

All those who kept saying all off season WE DON'T HAVE ANY SALARY CAP ROOM!!! well, here you go.

This is why I never get caught up in all of that. It always works itself out. Or, I say Stephen, as well as all the teams work it out.
They plan for this type of stuff.
