What's Dez's cap hit next year?
Big. What’s your point?
What's Dez's cap hit next year?
12.5 plus the 4 mil allocated from his original 20 mil signing bonus(split evenly across his 5 year contract).Dez is due for 12.5m in new money this year, all in base salary. If he got cut, it is very likely he would get that much in first year salary and SB when you consider the numbers receivers are getting signed for.
4 of it is dead money. So the question is do you want to pay him $12.5 million. That is what is in play here. Considering what other WRs have been signed to, the Cowboys should keep him for that price for another year.Nvm.. I found it.
Dez accounts for 16.5M of our cap in 2018....
They're going to do something to bring that cap number down. Watch!
That is not a restructure..... new money is an extension .....even if it is a pay cutYou do realize that a restructure would involve them extending him further and likely giving him more money, right?
Do you think a restructure is he'll just agree to take a pay cut out of the kindness of his own heart?

16.5 mil.
The Hurns contract is all Dez would get. His name is worth more than his production at this point and believe it or not teams pay more now for the later.If I am Dez i am laughing in their faces..
Go ahead and cut me. I'll just get a raise... Did you see what these lesser WR's just got paid.
Come on man.....Stop it already...

Because the FO is cheap and stupidI should clarify. Not new money persay but potentially guaranteeing more of the unguaranteed portion of his contract.
If it was so simple to restructure with no real pain to us, why hasn't it been done yet?
Dez won't be asked to take a pay cut, per se. I'm guessing they will ask him to take a lower base salary with incentives that allow him to make the full contract or more. That's a true "prove it" deal, and he's already started preparing for it with his route work.
We gave Lee a similar incentive laden contract related to his injuries and availability; Dez's will be related to production.

This is what I am trying to convey to my fellow fans. Dez is no longer who he used to be... He might be lucky to get 8 mil from another team on the open market. So add a voidable year and restructure him down to about an 8 mil cap hit this year so we can bring talent in any other positions.The Hurns contract is all Dez would get.

I like QBs that can actually throw it to a receiver in stride so they do not have to stop, dive, or try and be air Jordan to catch it.I love productive WRs.
One recommendation would be to add a voidable year to his deal and then restructure his 2018 base salary. Restructure bonuses work the same as signing bonuses in that the cap hit can be spread evenly on the remaining years of the contract, up to five seasons. The club could reduce Bryant’s base salary down to the vet minimum for his tenure, $915,000. They then spread that $11.585 million restructure across 2018, 2019 and phantom 2020 at the hit of $3.86 million.
Instead of $16.5 million, Bryant’s cap hit is now $8.78 million ($915,000 base + $3.86 million restructure + original $4 million signing bonus). He’d have an additional $3.86 million in cap hit in 2019 (even if released next season) and would have $3.86 million of dead money in 2020.
Figured the DHC would chime in eventually. Do you have anything to add to the leverage discussion?I like QBs that can actually throw it to a receiver in stride so they do not have to stop, dive, or try and be air Jordan to catch it.
But if he is going to play about the same number of snaps as Butler why keep him if you can get a draft pick this year or next.He only saves 1MM if traded.
So the notion of getting him off the books doesn’t make much sense.
I would add 3 years and 25m.... and I would guarantee 20mI should clarify. Not new money persay but potentially guaranteeing more of the unguaranteed portion of his contract.
