Lots of 2025 Contract Questions

[coult44]

Will we be able to afford to keep Turpin?

Do we give Rico another year?

Do we save anything cutting Mazi?
What about Steele?

Will they bring back Tank, Martin, Lewis?

Do we rebuild the safety corps?

Was Kendrick’s one year only?

What’s the real salary cap issues? Can they realistically afford to bring in anyone other than bargain basement guys? (I don’t want your opinion if they will) can they?

Give them all the MAX amount and extend them all!!!
Mazi should be given a 4 year deal for 160 million while he's still a bargain!
COWBOYS!!!!

Jerry Jones made the mistake of putting every player on notice that they can hold out and Jerry will fold.

A tradition has been established now in which the 1st round pick can hold out with a year or more still left on his rookie contract.

Both Tyler Smith and Micah Parsons have that potential to hold out.

If the Cowboys are to get on the right track then Jerry has to be willing to put his foot down and take the heat from every corner. He has to set a new expectation.

For those whose contracts are up at the end of the season, he needs to be willing to pay only for their expected productivity and not past performances or popularity. This is the area where the GM must be ruthless.

I'd try and keep Turpin.
Dowdle: maybe as RB2, but we need a talent upgrade big time

What’s the real salary cap issues? Can they realistically afford to bring in anyone other than bargain basement guys? (I don’t want your opinion if they will) can they?

The short answer is NO (in 2025). Reasoning being:

- we've got $25-$29m to spend, puts us bottom 1/3rd (its not the CAP figure that's the only problem, its the fact that there are so much more money over the two years and can give two contracts that we cant match).
- that's not including Dead Money, if we dont extend Tank ($8M), Zack (over $20), Cooks ($4m)
- Too many holes to fill, needing basic improvement at (DT, DE, CB, RB,WR) just to fill out the roster
- yes we'll restructure Dak, but it's like paying for necessities on your credit card..... a couple of
FA's arent making us play-off winners,

Dont look to 2026 either, We've only got $71m, but have the next issue of extending Tyler (LT money), Micah ($40m per) Bland, Tolbert, Ferguson, Sam, Clark, Donovan......ok, we wont retain all, but it'll still leave holes.

Yes, Jerry will restructure Dak's money, BUT, look at the 2025 issue: Tank, Zack, Cooks and Dak (existing) $40m. The 12-5 years were built on restructured money that needs addressing, but Jerry's in a bind because Dak probably wont get another contract and needs paying in full in '28, or '29.

So it's bargain basement for a couple of years at least (even trading down in the draft for numbers) ......and hope on CeeDee, Dak, Micah, Tyler to raise their games to the value of their contracts, which will need to be dramatic as we dont seem flush with talent.
