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.
