4Y/80M+ is the floor.

He could even get 90M+

Dallas doesn’t have the cap.

It’s all a game to save face.

That 20M pays for Turpin, Hoffman, and Lance.

Lewis needs a deal too.

Won’t need anywhere close to $20m for those players. Hoffman will be league minimum, a 2nd round tender for Turpin is around $5m, and Lance is gone unless he has zero market outside of Dallas.

Not a strong choice of cuts or available funds to work. Wait on Osa to start figuring out roles and relationships.

Osa at 10 mil per year? Sure.
Osa at 12 mil per year? Maybe.
Osa at 22 mil per year? Dude, love having you on the team, but no way.

Always loved Lewis. Hope that they keep him. He is what Parcells called a "glue guy."

DeMarcus Lawrence has been a cornerstone of the Cowboys’ defense since he was drafted with the 34th overall pick of the 2014 NFL Draft.

Over his career, he has developed into an elite run defender with pass-rushing skills. With 61.5 career sacks (all in Dallas), Lawrence has consistently shown to be a reliable defensive end for the Cowboys.

His leadership extends beyond the field. As a veteran, Lawrence plays a key role in mentoring younger players on the defensive line and has been a calming and guiding presence in the locker room.

Re-signing Lawrence would ensure that the Cowboys continue to have a strong voice on defense who understands the culture and expectations of the team.

But Osa is still value paired with Parsons.

Osa at 4/90 is fine IF the structure is team friendly…as in like a 35m base in year four that he will never see, making it essentially like 3/55, and also something they can get out of after year two without difficulty. Don’t go guaranteeing virtually the entire damned thing like they do with some others.

Theyve really gotta stop waiting on guys they want to resign, and having to pay more. I realize this is common knowledge by now but they really do need to get better there.

Another thing that bugs me is if Osa played for another team initially they would never even CONSIDER giving him that kind of money. Just points out the lazy approach and the fact that neither of the GMs do actual GM work.

Yeah, good luck finding an agent willing to take that back to his client.

Probably right. I threw that out there before the five year thing was reported, and people were nuts over 20+ a year for him. Point being there’s more to it than straight AAV.

The fact that he isn’t signed suggests that they are trying to get away with something similar and the agent isn’t having it.

Tagging him is only slightly less stupid than overpaying for this guy and considering the position fixed.

To maintain confrontational the defense has, has to retain a nucleus of strong players. Otherwise investing in offensive improving only keeps them in the game.

Otherwise, keep crying and step up to one's bookie.

They have overpaid at times, but the $90 million over 4 years is a market estimate, not what the Cowboys have shown a willingness to do. From what I've read the Cowboys are willing to franchise him, which would still be expensive, but only a 1 year deal
 
4 seasons at $80 M at #15 for salary. He is young and a top 5 DT at present. He works well with Parsons.
 
With a multiyear contract now in place the Cowboys can push the cap impact on the backend and be as active as they want to be when free agency officially kicks off on March 12.

Whether the Cowboys intend to be overaly active in free agency or not this offseason is anyone’s guess. The braintrust in Frisco typically takes a read-and-react approach to the annual spend-a-thon. They bargain hunt and use the draft to strategically fill needs rather than invest in high-end talent on the open market. That will likely be the case again in 2025 but at least this time they have options that are financially feasible.

They are expected to do the same with Dak Prescott in the near future, freeing even more funds. These moves will clear more than enough money to be active on the free agent market in 2025. The Cowboys have additional internal free agents they may want to lock up before they hit the open market as well. Cornerback Jourdan Lewis and defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence are two of their most important free agents who could leave if new deals can’t be made.

Let's keep score here. Prescott, Lamb, Parsons, Osa, Lawrence, and Lewis. That is a damn impressive off season and tools to be used for real.

Lawrence and Lewis: Neither player stands to break the bank, and both play pivotal roles on the Dallas defense.
