Threatened ? Only way in any shape or form I am threatened by you is in your mind or fairy tale world.

Jelly then..... you keep commenting about my handle so you are either a stalker or hater

Neither one is a good look

And that is 2

Mayowa
Vellano

Yes and now name a person other than you that thinks the Cowboys have, will have or could have anywhere close to 65 mil under the cap by the 14th six days from now. Those two amount to a whopping 3 mil of savings on the cap.

*No June 1st cuts and No Rule of 51 savings



That is 65m in cap space with only cuts to OScan, Hanna and Mayowa

They won't do it but I don't want to hear we are in cap trouble...... we are also 65m under the cap in 2019

I think the theme of this is best summed as they CAN free up cap space. But whether the individual moves make sense is debatable. Some do, some don’t, some maybe. E. g., a long-term deal for DLaw frees space this year, but I think FTing him this year and making him prove it for another year is the correct move. It’s not certain he’s not MB3 Miles Austin.

Extending Martin and restructuring TFred makes sense because of what they’ve shown since being drafted - very high performance with zero injury/suspension history and the’re young.

what if we dealt in bitcoins? could this be a way around the cap.

 

[gjkoeppen]

You can't go over the cap with restructures......can't happen .......league won't allow it.......plus restructures create space, not the other way around

In fact, I can only think of one possible way to go the cap and that is in the offseason when it doesn't matter

Besides having a HUGE problem with math, you also have a HUGE problem in comprehension. Nobody said anything close to restructuring contracts in and of itself put's teams over the cap. That's just your poor comprehension rearing it's ugly head. What restructuring contracts does for the zillionth time is it almost ALWAYS creates dead money down the road. That dead money every year is what stops teams, the Cowboys, from signing all of their players they would like to keep and/or go out and over spend for free agents. With your idiotic ideology of just restructuring contracts every year all you're doing is perpetuating that vicious circle of every year have to keep restructuring contracts just to barely get by come the start of free agency. If your idiotic idea was so great then GM's wouldn't say restructuring contracts is the last resort option. It only make sense n your mind in your fairy tale world.

But would it be goodell, the owners or players who set the conversion rate? lol

Hey cern maybe we could convince the league to turn free agency into a week of prime time game shows like Let's Make A Deal where every team that wants play in free agency gets a chance to have the MC (hopefully not goodell) ask the team which curtain they want and whatever curtain they select they get. They could get the player they want or it could be losing their 1st round pick for 2 years or a life time supply of pepto bismol.

I make no claim to capology fame as i'm too busy running my businesses to ever invest that much of my time on something that does not pay. I only have my idea as to how to make things work. always try and stay as far below the cap as possible in order to make an appreciable splash in free agency should the player at a position of need be there. limit the number of big contracts to as few as possible. I've been impressed with the rams decision to let trumaine Johnson, ogletree, one of their best de's leave the team. they didn't franchise a top wr. they're preparing for the eventuality of future deals for goff, Donald and a few others. and we still languish over dez, tyrone Crawford, chaz and bell, et. al. don't mull 'em, cull 'em. and draft well. at least we've done that pretty well lately. i'll leave fantasy financials to others.

This was strictly a MENU ....I simply listed all the different ways to create space

At the bottom I added a couple thoughts about cuts but not many

This is like having a 10k credit card limit and carrying a 1k balance....... there are 9k in purchases available..... some future purchases are vital some are not but sure would help..... and remember that your card has 0% interest rate and offers 1% cash back

This was an A-B conversation....you should C your way out if you are going to screw it up that bad

 

[cern]

your credit rating is a function of how much overall credit you have, but also how much of that limit you've spent. the more you've spent, the lower your rating. that same reasoning applies to nfl spending. our national debt is a function of how much the nation spends vs how much the nation takes in thru taxes, etc. many at the top try to convince the American people that the best possible financial scenario for us is that 1% of the richest control 90% of the wealth, and that the 1% should be taxed at the lowest rates possible in order to facilitate job growth. it didn't/doesn't work. highest debt ever. same for nfl. spend like a fool and pay for it later. cz's leading capologist recommends we always spend the most. and look where we are. seems it didn't work. and it won't.

You have made about 3 comments about being a 'capologist' ....so now I know you are also a liar

When you're doing all of your figuring which is wrong, you have to count EVERYTHING that counts against the cap. Bonuses and dead money not just salaries. The Cowboys aren't anywhere close to 65 mil under the cap. Most people that actually figure these things correctly have the Cowboys after tagging Lawrence at about 3 - 4 mil under the cap. Now if you think releasing those players will really happen and will give the Cowboys another 61 or 62 mil under the cap then you need to stop playing wannabe GM/capologist. Not to mention Stephen has already said restructuring contracts is the option of last resort because eventually it adds more dead money tom the cap. Lastly nobody knows yet what the cap will be for 2019. They haven't even set the actual cap for 2018 yet. Stick to your day job at Burger King..

You did a big song and dance comment where you listed like 8 or 10 players with your C designation which you said was CUT. Stop thinking that you're a caplologist. YOU'RE NOT!!!!!
.

Oh so in your fairy tale world the Cowboys will either cut or trade 8 - 10 players between now and the 15th when free agency starts. Just admit that you're not a GM or a capologist and everyone including you will be happier.

So you weren't playing wannabe capologist here? The only one here who's trying to lie now is you.

come on man--- if it were really as easy as being advertised they would do it...right?....uh wait...its cowboys FO...disregard my reasoning

If you are going to step in and run your pie hole then at least get your facts straight because Fuzzy did in fact say we would go over the cap because of restructures......so peace off

and if you are going to insult someone by sarcastically calling them a 'brainiac' then at least spell it correctly
