The Cowboys are going to restructure Dak again and extend him for at least 2 more years. That's going to give them a big CAP save. Get ready for it.

I think Zeke and possibly Tyron Smith will be released. But as we found out in 2022, CAP space doesn;t matter because Jerry won't use it to sign top tier free agents. Anyone costing over $6 million is out of the question.
If someone comes in and makes a trade offer for Tyron they can’t refuse, then they might do that. His dead money hit would be a little over 8m, combined with Zeke’s you’re pushing close to 20m. At only 17m cap hit he has way too much value per his performance at the position!

I don't look at the dead money. I just look at the CAP savings. But I prefer to take the dead money all at once rather than do a June 1 cut and split it over 2 years, if it can be done.

I'm fine with the re-signing of Big Hank at NT because he did a good job and his cost shouldn't be too much.

The FA WRs don't have the high caliber names, but DAL could find some help at WR3 with say a Mercole Hardmen, Parris Campbell or DJ Chark. In this case, I'd rather draft a WR...cough Charlie Jones.

It can’t!
