Don't expect much from Cowboys in Free Agency

[big dog cowboy]

I doubt if we will be very active in Free Agency this offseason. With Dak's salary, $40+ Million

A) they never are
B) Seriously???????????? Read up on the salary cap.

They don't make cap decisions based only on the current year. The average of all players on the roster over multiple seasons is the basis for making decisions.

As of today they're projected to have 86M of cap space in 2024 and 208M in 2025.

They have room to push cap hits into future years.

You forgot:

I am not sure why this board remains in a constant state in panic with Diggs and Micah’s deal in the future. Micah doesn’t need to be paid for another THREE seasons.

People act like Dallas is the only team in the league with a QB being paid highly and no other player on the team gets paid.

Chiefs
Mahomes $46, Clark $30, Jones $28, Thuney $22, Kelce $14. I’m sure they find a way to lock up Orlando Brown as well.

The Jones propaganda machine is your answer...

I doubt if we will be very active in Free Agency this offseason. With Dak's salary, $40+ Million, and having to try to sign Lamb and Diggs to extensions. I expect them to try to retain Donavan Wilson and Steele. Who they put the Franchise tag on will affect their FA approach also personnel wise and financially. They may be forced to sign a fairly high priced WR to complement Lamb because Gallop doesn't look to be the answer.

Gee, what made you think that?

Doesn't matter what moves we make, as long as we have the same QB, it's a mute point. 40 pass attempts for 200 yards and 2 picks to single handedly lose the game. Expect the same or worse next year folks. Facts.

Steele was an impressive find.

edit* same with Wilson really.

Wasn't expecting them to be. Only serious contenders do that.

Diggs salary cap hit will not happen for 2 years and Lamb will not happen for 3 years. Until then they are on rookie deals.

Meanwhile they could restructure Dak's number down to 26m today (saving 23m) and with that alone have money to work and there are more things they could easily do if they decided to. At the end of the day they are just afraid to go for it.

Edit: Basically do not buy the Jones spin. They are trying to make excuses for why they are not spending money but the truth is they are handicapping themselves by trying to win by only using 1/3 of the ways to build a team and largely ignoring trades and FA because doing the latter 2 hurts their egos and they cannot accept that they are not the smartest in the room.
