Snacks doesn't play 3T

He can on run downs and short yardage.

TS was the cap equivalent of Dallas Cowboys Bank of America...
His contract was equivalent to the modern day Mahones deal.

Assuming Poe comes back, we're plenty strong at 1T, with Poe and Woods.

Didnt they rework Smith's contract once before?? I do love this class act of a player.

I look at smiths contract.. yes he doesn’t play in a couple games a year but holy crap we are underpaying by like 6-8 million a year compared to these other left tackles. I believe that gives us 14 million on the cap now and we can restructure him next year too and save another 7 million. We will have no choice but to restructure next year with the cap at 175 million (as of now) But with all the contracts we have we can have up to 67 million in cap room next year if we wanted. We’re good on that

This move, although it gives cap space for 2021, could also be a move made at the request of Tyron Smith. Speculation on my part, but I recall Orlando Scandrick having liquidity issues and get salary advanced to him in the form of a bonus. Maybe Tyron needed or wanted liquidity and the Cowboys obliged because of how good a soldier he has been and how good a player he has been.

Again, purely speculative on my part.

Logan ryan?

I bet they’re making a move for Earl! Just shows you the teams find out about this stuff before the fans. Hoping for no more then a 4th pick in the trade, not sure a 6th or 7th pic would get it done and someone will trade for Earl.

2030???

constantly reworking contracts pushes them out years to spread bonus money, its how money is freed up , i was exaggerating but the ya its going we will owe TS money 5years after he retires..
