I don't know if the site below is correct but according to it the Cowboys have 25 mil in dead money this year and almost 8 mil next year. So 17 mil less dead money next year before cuts. It also shows dead money for each player if cut pre june 1rst and after

I went to a lot of trouble explaining Romo's contract.
Romo's 2015 cap hit is 27.7 million. His dead money if he retired would be 27.4 million. We would actually open up 300k against the cap.
Any what's more likely is that if Romo wanted to retire we would make him a June 1st cut and spread that hit over two years. The dead money for 2015 would be 10.7 million, which would then open up an additional 17 million dollars against the cap. The dead money for 2016 would be 16.6 million, which would be a cap hit of 8 million.
The Cowboys really do have a tough decision to make regarding Romo in 2015, he has a really high base salary, and you have to ask yourself at this point if it makes sense to prorate that further. The answer is probably not. A lot depends on how this year goes, but as big a Romo fan as I am, it might make sense to move on after this year. Especially with the offensive weapons that we have. The money can be used towards the defense.

Base salary can be renegotiated. Not sure about guaranteed money though.

A good share, and the cap should go up...what, another $8 million...followed by another $12+ in 2016...that's a lot of maneuver room. And the upcoming contracts, will reflect just how the team views the talent being considered for a new contract.

Please don't call another's posting, just outright dumb...that is a close neighborhood for telling an adult just to shut up.
Approach a subject disjointed from the person making a comment. That is the polite method...in first and third person references.
I would agree with that, anyway...

I've seen a lot dumber..... I think he's trying to say for Romo to reduce his salary even if it's by a small fraction.

Why should he give any back? He has earned every dollar ifyou ask me. From the constant carrying of the team, to the inept roster moves, the unnecessary blame at times, the gutty performances, the stupid biased stats made up for him, etc. Sure his play at times could have been better, but the great Peyton Manning and Tom Brady have had their share of bad games too. No he's not them, but he has earned his salary in today's league.

A selfless person who would do whatever it takes to make an attempt to win it all by allowing an acquisition or two to help the team.

From my understanding next year or the year after there should be a big boost in the salary cap from the tv money.

I will. Because I can tell you money isn't everything and there are some things it can't buy. If I've already earned as much as he has at this point in my career I would.
When I say reduce, I'm not saying eliminating the majority of that 27 mil, I would agree to reduce it down to 17-20 million dollar range. That 7-10 can give us two additions on defense.

Yeah i agree he should not have to give anything back.But i never thought ge was worth that +100 million. Also trust me Romo has made more errors than Brady and Manning long careers combine. Sure Romo can be that comback kid aganist that sub 500 team but until he put in some REAL work its all flash no substance to me.

And this is why it is smart to push $ forward rather than play "pay as you go" - it is like using a credit card with a negative interest rate. The money you push forward is a smaller % of the cap than in the current year

Doesn't matter what dead mo et we don't have next year. Our cap hit for next year is 137,062. That's with out Dez, Murray, and McClain.
But that's with Free who has an team option. We can free up 7 million by releasing Free and 8 million by cutting Melton.

It would be nice if Romo gave back some of his salary to make room but I doubt he does. Dallas will not release him. The most likely thing Dallas will do is restructure guarantee Romo for another 3 years here.
