Of course it is BS.Yeah I dont buy that. Daks contract has built in void years. They can and will move that money down the road. As far as this year last I saw we were around 30 million under. That is with Micahs 24 already factored in. They can absolutely pay him now. Additional every single contract I've seen has a smaller first year hit.
According to OverTheCap, we are 31.5m under the cap. A Micah extension according to them will actually lower his cap hit by 18.2m. That gives us 49.7m in cap space, which most likely we will roll a good chunk over into next year's cap, which will also go up from this year's number.
By the way, Bland and Smith could be extended and save us another 4.5m against the cap.
With restructures, Dallas can make the following in cap space:
-Dak - $31 million
-Lamb - $19m
-Diggs - $8.8m
-Osa - $12m
-Ferguson - $4.9m
-Steele - $8m
That is $83.7m more in space that is available with a scribble of a pen.
Instead of restructure, we could cut some guys and make space:
-Steele - $8.75m or $14m if post June 1
-Diggs - $12.5m or $15.5m post June 1
-Hooker -$7m
S. Thomas - $2.5m
Anger - $3m
Schoonmaker - $1.6m
Mingo - $1.9m
Cutting the last 5 wouldn't make a difference on the team but would save another $16m. Cutting Steele and Diggs if they don't perform would add another 4.4m over restructuring if done pre June, or 12.7m after June 1.
So they can make $100m in space on top of what they carry over and with a raise in the cap. The Sirius guy is full of shizz.
