How Cowboys compare in spending last 4 years

What point are you trying to make?

Looking at future obligations is meaningful. Looking at dead cap space is meaningful. What are we supposed to glean from this?

Impressive...I expected us to be spending a TON more

 

[drawandstrike]

There's only like 4 teams that have spent less than us. And look at the Eagles....LOL!

 

[drawandstrike]

What penalty will the 12 teams that are over the cap get if they haven't gotten back under it by the end of the league year? What steps can they take to get under the cap again in time?

 

[CATCH17]

The Eagles have nothing to show for all of that money spent. Geez.

 

[Teague31]

How can the eagles go so far over without some sort of penalty? Seem to recall us getting whacked for absolutely no reason worth Austin's contract

 

[AzorAhai]

Some of you guys need to understand cash spent and cap space used are not the same thing.

Hilarious.

Eagles have been the new Commanders since " The Dream Team"

Sure they do.

Just smoke and mirrors.

Has any team ever been penalized for being under/over the cap?

You don't remember just a few years ago when Dallas and Washington got hit with big penalties?

Yeah Seattle has overspent by what I can see

that was for breaching the spirit of a non capped year aka Mara didn't like Snyder and Jones doing what they were allowed to do

 

[drawandstrike]

here's PFT's write up on this. It explains what you're looking at in the tweet above is the COMBINED spending from the past 4 seasons.

Those were for violating some unwritten rule that had been evidently agreed upon unlawfully, outside the CBA.

Wait. I was told that we were a top spender.
