How to create Salary Cap space

[FuzzyLumpkins]

So what....as long as they happen after June 1st and you haven't used both designations then the majority of the hit will still come the following year.... who gets hurt in April without going on the IR?

No extra risk

Again, your way sees them increase the potential acceleration of dead money for all players and removes the ability to wiggle around. I know you want to pretend that all June 1st cuts save money but that is not the case and that is doubly so after a couple of years of restructuring everyone on the roster.

The of course the following league year you are left with even more massive prorations that hit leaving you in a roster quandary. We were lucky with Romo because he only had one more year left on his deal when he went down. If it had been a couple years earlier when we were still restructuring him constantly and he was carrying a $30m dead money total every year it would have caused serious problems. You want to do that proportionately with every player on the roster in a league with high year to year turnover.

That is precisely what happened with Aikman and Irvin in the early years of the cap. They restructured a lot of contracts to sign Deion and when Aikman and Irvin went down they were caught with their pants down.

And with Lawrence getting tagged and releasing the 2 defensive linemen that leaves about 7 mil of cap space to extend Martin and sign Hitchens and Irving and the rookie class so just where do the Cowboys have cap space to over spend for impact free agents?
.

Nightman showed some examples of how to get more space. In fact, I think extending Martin was one of them, that would actually add space.

This off-season has already gotten toxic. I've seen more vitriol than ever, on a daily basis and it was already sky-high.
I get it, but it's ugly. This is where we see people's true colors.

A lot of posters like Hostile and Trickblue left and post on a different board. They didn't invite the toxic bunch. It's distilled this place.

I was invited. Several times. I even joined. I'm, admittedly, a loyalist to this place. I can't identify why, but I think it's because @Idgit has a vodou doll of me and he won't let go...
I could go over there, but I haven't.

I think it's @Reality 's and the mod's tolerance of my occasional... indiscretions. I do enjoy the mods here.

@Nightman your posts and threads are well received by many in this forum whether we agree or disagree.
It's a shame that a "64" year old would come in here to make childish remarks thrown your direction.
Some comments seem more like a 24 year old still living with mom because dad left town
the minute he realized his kid was a worthless sack of excrimate. Hypothetically speaking, of course.

I, for one, didn't take your 65 million cap savings literally. It seemed clear to me that it was theoretical.
Even before reading your next sentence that stated "they won't do that".

One would think adults could disagree without hate and anger. It sure does seem like the personal attacks are
far more damaging to the CZ than a few cuss words that get mentioned on network television. Now, I'm not bashing the mods
here. They do their best and, frankly, shouldn't have to police everyone all the time. However, maybe someone needs to
tell this newbie to cool it. In the real world, he'd get punched square in the face. Actually, he'd be too much of a coward
to say a word.

Thanks for the support

I know I can rub people the wrong way but I have strong opinions...... but they are based on true feelings backed by my football knowledge and research...... I try not to go off half-cocked on anything I post...... you will find that my posts are rarely ever factually wrong...... people just have different opinions and when I do not run away from a debate they often turn to insults

I can give as good as I get but I try to avoid drawing first blood

I honestly believe my way would work better if enacted but we will never know...... I just want them to be a lot more willing to play in UFA and not just count on the Draft..... they had a few misses in FA but they missed badly in the Draft and in Trades too...... no one ever said "let's stop drafting because we screwed up with Mo Claiborne"

I was invited by Hostile as well but would never join a club that would recruit someone like me as a member

Ha ha ha!

Release Jason Witten and James Hannah-boom close to 9 million saved. We still have Hannah, Gathers and Jarwin. Draft Ian Thomas in the 3rd or Dallas Goddert in the 2nd.

Use the almost 9 million saved and resign Hitchens and Cooper

mr Bleed--- i just cut myself...and i saw some silver mixed with the blue

I actually bleed silver too.

I like the way the blue star appears to bleed out of the white helmet...hence my screen name, and logo.
