Expect more of the same in 2025

As of right now, with no moves, we have $20m of cap space in 2025. A couple moves and that number balloons up. He is lying.

$20M is gone after you do the basic stuff like sign a backup QB, punter, long snapper and a couple smaller raises guys like Turpin. Opening money up is just going to allow you to keep a few guys like Hoffman, Dowdle, or OSA. They might have some cap flex to bring in a mid tier FA if they really want to, but thats about it. I really don't get the optimism about the 2025 cap.

In theory they could do a true all in year and worry about cap issues in 2026/2027/2028 but I'm not seeing a team that is close enough to have a true all in year with. Last offseason was the better bet to go that route IMO.
 
We’ve been saying 25 is gonna look a lot like 24, and I have to wonder if MM would even want to stick around and deal with the same garbage.

My one hope is they don’t restructure Daks contract we need to just bite the bullet and make restructures elsewhere that is if there are any.

Maybe we move a few pieces for some picks and pick up a few comp picks. This is gonna be ugly.
 
You forgot 2026, 2027, and 2028....the doings of September 8th assured that. Even if Dim wasn't extended, our WR corp is TRASH...I'll repeat that, TRASH.....and yes, I am including Ferguson in that as well. At this point, all this organization is good for is comedic relief....might as well add to it by extending Corky and watch this S show REALLY burn to the ground. Get your popcorn ready!!!
 
This period of a down cycle would be much more acceptable and understandable if they actually took a real shot the last few years instead of being worried about future cap problems….and they still now have cap problems.

Just beyond dumb.

If this is the case (it is), please draft Jeanty or a receiver in the first round.

I can not stand seeing Jalen Tolbert or Brandin Cooks play WR anymore

I have no answers, on how to fix this team, it’s beyond screwed up right now. They should’ve drafted a quarterback, the last three seasons. And not traded for a loser or re-signed a broken one.
 
How about all the dead Dak money that’s being pushed into 2030 and 2031?

When is the supposed window to win under the “secret sauce” plan?

These two are just pathetic. They aren’t at all qualified but happen to own the team and want to be celebrities.
 
I’m not kidding Jerry sold his soul, and the team suffering it’s payback time,
If I was a player, I would not wanna come to the Cowboys right now. Yes I know it’s stupid propaganda but Jerry is evil lol

That money is nothing, they keep increasing the salary cap. Yes, it was a stupid signing, but it’s gone forget about it. That is not what’s hurting this team.

I think this is the best route to go too. I'm thinking 2025 needs to be used as an actual rebuild year. Eat the major cap hit on Daks deal and itll free up quite a bit of money for 2026. That would give you two additional draft classes and a real chance at building through free agency to make a final run with Dak while Parsons, Smith, Lamb, Bland etc are still in their prime.

I don’t care who comes here, we’re not going to be able to keep them healthy, we don’t have any freaking coaching. It’s beyond screwed up.

Agreed.. No accountability. I'd of cut that guy that touched the ball in the last 2 minutes. Serious. Stupid shouldn't be rewarded anywhere-except in Dallas :facepalm:

He wouldn't of been allowed on the plane if that were Jimmy coaching....Cut right on the spot with a bus ticket back home....
 
They need to draft men, we have all the Cowboys going. I’ve been saying it for three season, we have a bunch of wimps on this team.

They roll over over $20 million. I agree, they can have $100 million With 1-2 restructures

They can get extra money through restructures, but it won't be coming from Dak. They're committed to getting rid of a large chunk of Dak's cap hit next year. They didn't need to structure his contract that way. It was done intentionally. It is staying at 90M

As soon as I seen the way his contract was structured, I knew 2025 would be much the same as this year. No team can win with their QB at over 30% of the cap. They'll be missing a lot of pieces.

I would’ve never happened. if it did, it would’ve been on Jimmy, he would have himself a bus to get home.
