Our Cap Situation In Visual Form

[StarOfGlory]

 

[CATCH17]

For a second I thought everyone else was Dez.


Also, how is Zack Martin already showing up? He's still on a rookie deal.

Glaring issues are Tony Romo still counting that much against the cap, Tyrone Crawford costing as much against the cap as he does, and Demarcus Lawrence not being franchise-tagged yet.

 

[Cowboys22]

You could do the same for every team in the NFL. The biggest difference would be that many team’s top 8-9 would makes ours look ridiculous by comparison. Too much underachieving in those names above to really be competitive.

 

[CouchCoach]

We should cut Everyone else.

His 5th year option is almost 10 mill.

No, he’s on his 5th year option which balloons.

 

[BlindFaith]

Hey, can you do one by positional spend? Online, dline, RB, WR, secondary, QB.

One for us and one for NE.

Crawford SMH

 

[Howboutdemcowboys31]

Almost all of those players besides Fred and Martin have a concern of some sort. But atleast they all are capable. It’s a disgrace what we pay Crawford. Who has injury history AND no history of being a force.

Crawford SMH

Exactly. Easily one of the worst contracts in recent history. The dude is the very definition of JAG.

 

[CPanther95]

We should cut Everyone else.

LOL.

I came back in to see who would be the first to say "Everyone else" is overpaid.

You win.

 

[Verdict]

He is on his 5th year option and that's significantly higher.

 

[Verdict]

Actually Crawford's contract is better than Dez and Witten contracts. That's not saying much.

If you add Witten into that pie chart it drops everyone else into a pretty small slice of the pie.

That's the heart of the matter. You can't pay players 10 percent of your cap to suck. It's bad business.

 

[BlindFaith]

Yeah, add in Zeke and Witten and everyone else goes down significantly.

As bad as Wittens contract is hes still is a top 15 TE and is a solid possession guy.

Rock solid. Concrete solid. Very statuesque in solidness.

And top 15 is very debatable. It actually has been.

 

[Nightman]

The bottom 27 players are equal to TSmith's piece of pie

 

[Prime21]

Tyron has a long contract. If he stays healthy and plays how he should then we can restructure him next year to lower the cap hit. Crawford will be cut after this year. Dez will most likely be cut after this year barring an incredible season. Romo will be coming off the books. If DLaw gets a long term deal his cap number comes down.

Injuries and underachievers have hurt but the pain should be over after this year. If we end up needing to franchise Martin that is much less than a DE.
