yeah i did. :laugh2:ISUFan22;5035793 said:You did?
KevinU;5035834 said:Kristie,
Not only an offensive line to protect Romo, a legit running game will be another layer of protection for our qb. Nice job.

Honestly- One of the bravest posts I've ever seen on the internet.
but...so short sighted.......
You are assuming Romo will restructure his contract after this year to free up room.
What if he pulls a Carson Palmer and says.....Nope
2013: $1.5 million base salary, $11.818 million cap figure
2014: $13.5 million base salary, $21.773 million cap figure
2015: $17 million base salary, $25.273 million cap figure
2016: $8.5 million base salary, $15.135 million cap figure
2017: $14 million base salary, $19 million cap figure
2018: $19.5 million base salary, cap figure
2019: $20.5 million base salary, cap figure
Are you gonna cut him?????
Good luck with that
Tony Romo has this franchise by the balls for the next 5 years...and it's his to do as he pleases.

gimmesix;5035963 said:Dallas builds the restructures automatically into the contract, like it did with Carr, so the player doesn't have a choice. If the Cowboys need to restructure, they just do it.
I'm sure the players don't mind either since they still receive all their money, just in a different way (bonus instead of base).
& you are assuming that he wont. Given that Romo has restructured his deal before in the past, to help the team, I don't think it would be a stretch to assume that he'd do it again.Floaty;5035902 said:You are assuming Romo will restructure his contract after this year to free up room.

kristie;5036091 said:crap, i wish i had known that. i thought the restructuring of those contracts hadn't done as much as you're mentioning it did.
gimmesix;5036106 said:Restructures (and a few cuts) allowed us to tag Spencer, sign Ladouceur to a five-year deal, re-sign Sims and sign Durant and Allen.
Considering we were going to enter the free agent period over the cap, everything we've done is a product of the restructures (and a few cuts).
Now, Romo's extension opens up money to do more if we want to (as does cutting Spears, but not until after June 1).
Floaty;5036129 said:what makes people think the restructures are already written into the contract?????
Never heard of.....Why would a player sign off on that???? this is all just a falaise.....And just Asinine!!!!!!!
how are teams gonna know what players are gonna ask for????
Sure you can set a budget as a team....but that doesn't mean you can account for everything.
UPDATE: Clarence Hill, Jr. of the Ft. Worth Star-Telegram has just indicated that the club has reached an agreement with Brandon Carr to restructure his deal and knock off an additional $10.5 million of cap space. The restructure was already built into Carr's contract last year, as his 2013 salary of $14.3 million was fully guaranteed.
Are you satisfied with where you are currently on the cap and what you’ve got to do before March 12?
[Stephen] Jones: We’ve got some restructuring but that’s not even the point. The restructures are built in. We don’t have to negotiate a restructure. All the deals we’re doing are structured in there so it’s more just meet the guys, tell them what we’re thinking, tell them what we’re going to do. Everybody’s making a big to do about this. I don’t know why.
