Exactly. If teams are honest about rebuilding you should off load older talent that is expensive. Not extend and get a net gain of zero or worse on the ROI. Keeping a guy like ET on rebuilt defense at 10+ million will just make fans even more mad IF the LOB replacements are sub par and ET looks a super star.From what I've seen of their cap situation, they certainly can afford to give him an extension, but it appears that they simply don't want to do it. Everyone knows that they're in a rebuilding phase but they won't publicly admit it. Got to keep the money-paying fans "fooled" I guess.
If Dallas is as interested and as OK with giving him the extension as this source says, I'd ramp up the pressure and let some further details "leak".
