Fisher is now straight up lying about Dallas' cap situation because he doesn't have a clue how it actually works. According to him, while talking specifically about the 2023 fiscal year:

"Assuming the Cowboys execute a Dak Prescott extension some time soon, Dallas could gain about $20 million more in cap room. That can help finance contract extensions for the likes of CeeDee Lamb and Trevon Diggs (and we would argue, for Terence Steele as well)."

Except there's one problem. Dak's 2023 salary has already been restructured down to $1.7 million. There is no mathematically possible way to gain additional cap space from Dak's contract in 2023, extension or no extension. Period. He even links to another one of his articles as if it contains a source to this magic math, when in reality the other article doesn't say anything about it either. And it wouldn't, because it's complete nonsense.

This is Grifting 101, and you shouldn't fall for it.

LOL. Don't you know prorated cap can just vanish just like that?

Yea, that's quite the swing and miss by Fisher.


Edit, Did he edit the article, don't see that in there or am I blind?

It’s still in there, but for some reason I can’t figure out how to post screenshots.

Is this what you're looking for?

Well I agree he's a grifter, but he's almost certainly paid per click. I'm sure he appreciates all the eyes you've just brought to his page.

Open a separate window and go to the PostImages website shown below. https://**************/

From there, all you need to do is click the 'Choose images' tab. It should give you the option to open your cellphone Gallery or computer photo storage file (whichever you are using of the two) and upload your screenshot on to the Post Images page. From there, it will show your screenshot image and list several different tabs to click (copy & paste). Click on the 2nd tab that says, "Direct Link". Once you do that, paste that "direct link" inside the image link section at the top of your post's header as shown below (where the "http://" shows) ...

Paste the "direct link" into the 'image' header, then press 'Insert'. Your screenshot should appear wherever you have/choose your blinking posting icon in your post. Repeat the process by opening another Post Images page to do it (post another screenshot) all over again.

Hope this helps.

I would not be disappointed if Mike Fisher never did another Cowboy story. I would not be disappointed if Skip Bayless never did another Cowboy segment on his talk show. I listen to neither and am somewhat embarrassed that both are so closely identified with the Dallas Cowboy football team.

There are several reporters who are just simply completely clueless about the Cowboys. How or why they are allowed to continue makes no sense to me at all. They are consistently wrong. They are consistently not understanding moves the Cowboys are making and direction they are trying to go. It take no skill or talent to throw crap against the wall just to see what sticks. And when it doesn't it's just rinse and repeat. SMH.

If Fish says they can gain 20 million then they can gain 20 million. He's the preeminent Cowboys insider.

Re-do your math. And don't ask that guy who thinks 12 plus 88 equals 7 for any help.
