Flurry of activity gets fan interest up

[John813]

I can never keep the rules straight so correct me if I'm wrong but all of those extra void years become irrelevant if he were to retire or the Cowboys release him early doesn't it? That has always been my primary concern with doing it on a 3rd contract like this, but I'm also not confident I have the rules right either.

Correct. It's just for cap saving purposes for spreading out the prorated bonus while he's still here. Short term gain, long term "pain".

They accelerate into one big cap hit as soon as the deal voids. What they could do is redo the contract similar to Martin's where the void expires after the start of the 202X season so his dead cap hit is split into two seasons.
That's if he plays out the deal. A june 1st cut acts the same way.

I have mentioned in several posts that just because they have moved the money it doesn't mean they will spend it. It could very well be added to next year's cap.

I would love for them to go balls out over the next two years and try to win....if it doesn't work, completely blow it up. Take the hits, clean up the cap over two years....field a terrible team, get high draft picks....get your QB and start all over.

One thing to keep in mind is the Cowboys currently have the 5th highest cap hit for 2026. That numbers $226M currently is likely to go up if they extend Parsons, 5th year option Tyler Smith, and sign FAs this year. They also have several players to make decisions on that are due for raises such as Bland, Turpin, Tolbert, Ferg, Aubrey, Sam Williams, etc.

Good chance they try to save $20M or so for rollover cash for next year.

There is already about 80m in restructures available for next year and that is before Parsons deal which will probably add a lot more to that amount. And like you said we could carry over a bunch of space from this year if Jerry continues to be Jerry. The only ones likely to get resigned are Bland, maybe Ferg, Aubrey and Williams if he produces in his contract year.

Close to half that $80m is in one player though who may or may not make sense to restructure a year from now. If Dak can rebound then yeah the Cowboys will have all the cap flex in the world for 2026, but I'm not sure that is a given. Also have to factor in Tyler Smiths 5th year option which I think is $21M?

Well, the only two numbers I’ve mentioned are the money we get from DAX’s contract which already happened you can go to spot track or over the cap and see about the numbers for Parsons. I have posted them numerous times and it’s really not that hard to find them.

No thats not what i meant. I can find those numbers by my own.

You are stating that fan interests got up because of our FO activities.

You sure have that info from some statistical site or provider that did professional research on that. I would like to see those.

Jerry Jones would have made a really great Propaganda Minister for some 3rd world country.

With the new cap space and one move, the Cowboys can help CeeDee Lamb take his game to the next level.

Don't even pretend you already know the answer... Now tell us you work for the Pentagon.

This is what it is currently like to be a Cowboys fan.

The front office does the bare minimum of what a team serious about winning games should be doing and it gets us excited again.

JUst look at the activity here on the board....huge bunch of activity with the news that has gone on. I am guessing the mods could provide numbers of posts or visitors in the past week compared to other weeks since the season finished.

Nonsense ...... all it has done is give Jerry's lapdogs and boot-lickers something to crow about ........ until nothing happens during free agency except signing our own guys.
