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

[jazzcat22]

Does this mean we can keep Dak on his current deal without an extension?

This is why I never get caught up in all of that. It always works itself out.

Kind of depends on your definition of "working out". IMHO the way this "works out" every year is the same. It "works out" by losing in the first round of the playoffs with an old, top heavy, thin roster that folds like a cheap suit.

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

LOL!!!

By redoing Diggs you are +20 million. Extending Lamb gives you about +30 million

If you extend Dak it’s easily 70-80 million in cap

Where’s the cap hell?

Yeah but they don’t use their cap space to improve their team they use it to…..I don’t know what they use it for honestly.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

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

I’m trying to win this year not 10 years down the road.

Hahah you got me

You have a "brown hog day" in London?

My bad, I meant groundhog.

I've put My voice recognition on Cockney mode, hopefully that should salve the poo balm.

Martin is going to leave a mark at the end of his career in dead cap money. Jerry will gladly pay it though.

You'll be here in 10 years time saying this is the year Dak eventually get us to a Championship game

It's already paid.

I never said it was our year. I said I want to win next year. I’m guessing you want to lose? Not sure what you are arguing right now.

Is this enough to put us under the cap???????

more restructuring to come. gallup probably released, that's another 10M. Dak will get redone (whether we like it or not). so we should have ample cap room.

 

[DuncanIso]

Everyone said we were 9 million over right? Seems like they should put us under now?

Estimated +$4 Million

Also, Martin isnt UFA until 2026 now.

need at least +20-25 million, just to operate.

Its a shame your favourite players dead cap is still hurting this team isnt it?

I don't think the extension's as certain now. There's no necessity, it's just as likely they restructure some of the base salary.
What's against the extension is that it'll take so long in negotiation then the top tier of FA'S will of signed....at which point we may as well test Dak in a 'contract year' (let's see him earn that massive contract).

 

[DuncanIso]

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.

The cap problems we have are for real.

Expect more restructures/cuts this week.

We need 20-25 more just to operate with.

Pray they dont extend/restructure Dak.

I think Dallas is playing this smart. They dont have a lot of cash to play with atm.

Restructure on Dak would push that 29 base + 5 bonus into 2025+

And I dont see Dak going for that. He want's MEGA Millions.

We need to accept that the failings of the team to: stop the run, run the ball along with Dak's lack of composure when the pressure's truly on (+ really difficult schedule) aren't going to be overcome in one post season.
