Very reasonable hits.

Per OTC:

If his contract voids there will be $54.29 million in dead money. This is likely spread across two years but we are looking to confirm that. The new contract reduced Williams 2026 cap number by $13.08 million and his 2027 cap number by $11.01 million.

So, his contract could be set up like Zach Martin's, where it voids a week or two into the 2031 season. allows the Cowboys to post june 1st cut him-to spread the dead cap, or extend him.

I saw it's really 9 years 5, then the 4 void years

I wonder if this will allow them to Maxx out their spending for 2026?

I’m team screw them picks….even for one or two years I wouldn’t have regrets. I’d take one year of going all in then zero

Don’t care what he costs. I was young the last time they didn’t desperately need the type of player he is.

Would you pay a 1 and 2 for Crosby? I would if it's a 2027 2 and 2028 1. Baltimore showed that Vegas shouldn't expect to get two 1s, but that doesn't mean Crosby doesn't have value. I mean, I'd try less than that, but I would be willing to go that high. Maybe a 1, 3 and Eze.

Great contract for a great player. It’s structured in a way that doesn’t kill the team while also providing maximum money to the player while he’s in his prime.

This is awesome. What's next?

I looked up Big Q's guarantees, since those are what really matters in the NFL. If you don't have guaranteed money, you are just a week-to-week contractor.

• 2026 and 2027 salaries guaranteed at signing.
• 2028 salary fully guarantees in March 2027
• About a quarter of his 2029 salary guarantees in March 2028, and that is probably the Cowboys' soonest out.

This extension basically has Big Q tied to the team for 3 years minimum, probably 4. Three years is the normal "real" duration for NFL mega-deals, but I figured I would check.

Yup.

They can cut him in Spring 2029 and escape.

49ers has so much money to spend. They are $67,633,279 under the Cap which is wild.
