Designating him as a June 1st release means that his cap hit stays on our books until June 1st so it would not be updated until then. It just allows the player a better chance to sign somewhere while teams have more funding available (per se). On June 2nd the savings would show up against the cap (the 10.9 since it was June 1). We cannot use that money until that point (so most of it will go to draft picks).

"With a post-June 1 designation, a team is required to carry the player's full cap number until June 2 even though he is no longer a part of the roster. The player's salary comes off the books at that time unless it is guaranteed."

Yep. One way to look at it is Elliott's June 1 cap savings basically covers the incentive cap hits that could potentially come from Tyron Smith.

I'll clear something up before it gets misunderstood. The Cowboys don't have $50M in cap space, they created $50M leaving us with about $22M-$26M of operating cap space. Todd didn't mention we were in the hole.

They also need about 10m just to pay the draft picks. Zeke cut was for pollard, another $10m for gilllmore, $10m for the rookies and they’ve got about $15m. Which is probably a carry over to next year.

Interesting that they're restructuring contracts OTHER than Dak's.
