We can keep whoever we want
That includes signing Dez, Murray, Rolando McClain and keeping Melton. Depending on what Free is expecting throw him in the mix too.
Our dead money is in a much better situation next year depending on what we do with Brandon Carr of course. I would expect Carr to take a decrease in pay. If he chooses not to, like Cortland Finnegan didn't, then we should let him go and receive the substantial cap savings. You can get 2 Orlando Scandrick's for what Carr is making.
Melton will probably get a long term deal by giving him the $9 million signing bonus/guaranteed money with up to a few years added onto the contract. That won't negatively effect the cap.
We should stay away from restructuring Romo but if it is an absolute need to get that 1 dynamic missing piece like a dominant pass rusher. Then we can do it. We can probably do so without having to restructure Romo.
Remember the cap is increasing and our overall team has increasingly gotten younger. After this draft there's not much room to get any younger which is a good thing when knowing the salary cap number for teams is increasing.
The age of this team and the amount of overall salary cap money is finally starting to balance out. That's with knowing we have our franchise QB playing his best football, while being signed for the next 3-4 years. Health permitting like any other QB of course.
