Dez had a remaining cap hit of 8 Million for two prorated years of his 20MM bonus over a 5 year contract. That cap hit will be taken no matter what once the ink is dry on the contract, its only a question of when.
Dez had salaries of 12MM for 2018 and also 2019. The Cowboys cut him so they didn't pay him, which is called "saving money".
And he gets paid 8 million per his signing bonu, aka dead money. So it’s not saving money, they are still paying 8 million to Dez anyways. Yeah, when the ink dries they have more cap room, but guess what, the check is still paid out to Dez for sitting on his couch.
And everybody, including coaches, are blaming the WRs that aren’t named Dez.
And again, the real issue is Dak also called out Dez for his garbage throw, for a garbage throw he’s been making regularly even with Dez. How many WRs are you going to blame? It’s a consistent pattern of his, throwing behind his WRs and balls end up getting tipped and right into the hands of DBs. Whether it’s Dez or Thompson or anybody else, It’s the same.
What’s even more comical is nobody even threatening Dak and he was like 7 feet from Dez and Dez, as any WR would do, would expect a ball placed in front of him or at least at him, and dude throws a laser pass behind Dez on a short dump off.
