Current Cowboys cap space 2025

No they don't. They can cut him, which gets them out of paying the salary.

No

No they don't. They can cut him, which gets them out of paying the salary.

The money is guaranteed of at least $129 million so that much he gets anyway even if they cut him.

How does Martin's retirement affect the cap for 2025? I don't recall if he had guaranteed money for this year or not.

We could have done some things last year to create CAP space too. Jerry waiting almost until the beginning of the season to do some of them.

Yes, we can save $37 million restructuring Dak. But should they? That restructure would at over $7 million to the CAP each year for the next 5 years if they want to cut Dak after the 2026 season. I would want to leave that door open. The other restructures are okay.

The big question is, even if you clear this CAP space what will Jerry do with it? My guess is he doesn't need this much CAP space because he will sign a couple of low cost free agents but no one significant.

They have to find a way to get off this guys deal . What was his last big moment? He’s getting less confident , leas healthy , older and more expensive

We don't need cap space for vet minimums.

Regardless of what side you are on with dak (letting him go or a fan) they literally just hired a coach no one else wanted or cared to interview who may not have gotten a serious job anywhere else to be our head coach because he’s close with dak…..

He’s not going anywhere - certainly not a June 1st cut next year (baring catastrophic injury) the Jones’s love him

So, even with Dak's contract, we are under the cap. If we can get Parsons' contract done, Lamb restructured, Diggs restricted, and Steele restructured to add to our $2.47 mil, that should be about $55.97 mil in cap space. We can do a lot with that and not even restructure Dak.

Restructuring both Steele and Diggs would seem nonsensical as both are going to be likely cut candidates for next season!
Only one j1st cut will be available so one’s entire dead cap will be accelerated into next seasons cap!

Exactly. Restructuring that toxic mess is like prolonging the pain.

This, I am all for not touching Dak.

He has 26 million dead cap. His deal was redone a couple years ago so they could designate him June 1st in this eventuality. His base would have been around 10.5 million which is about what his dead cap will be for this season! Or that’s what I read anyway!
