Add Tony Romo to restructure list. Cowboys about $1m over cap now. http://es.pn/1dlgg6q”

Manziel to Dallas just became almost guaranteed not to happen.

Just heard they restructured him adding 10m to cap.

It always was that way

Why anyone thought it would is beyond me.

Until death do us part, dear Tony.

I know. I just wanted to put the final box of nails in that coffin.

Cause he's Johnny Football.

Born at halftime of a Dallas game.

Jones has been holding this last nail over the coffin and staring and grinning at you since he signed Romo to that extension last year.

Nah. My nails make it official.

Son of a... does that push more money into later years?

 

[noshame]

Great, Mr. clutch on third down is locked in.

Guess the Ware situation is next on the check list

Son of a... does that push more money into later years?

No. It pays him a lot now and just accounts for it during later years. Reduces future cap space but hasn't added any talent to the team. Hasn't even put them in a position to do so yet.

It also means they'll restructure him next year.

The "almost guranteed" for me is if he falls to 16 we still draft him. Jmo

The restructures add $750k to Scandrick cap per year over next 5 years, $950k on Lee, $2.5m on Romo

Romo is not only Jerry Jones' bride, but also his bank for the next few years.

Jerry did this because he thinks we are close. Just one or 2 more players and we are golden! All he does is kick the can down the road year after year. He is an ego maniac who will not listen to anyone. This is why we have sucked for so long.

 

[Alexander]

Adding the $750K to Scandrick for the next five years is rather inventive. Never seen a third cornerback get used like this. I bet he is happy.

You should be grateful. One year we will win that final game to make the playoffs and go on that incredible run, you'll see.

Yes. And clearly that is appearing a smarter and smarter thing. Cap keeps rising. We spend a smaller % of cap $ by pushing deals out.

Look at what we pushed last year. Is it smarter to pay 30 mill on a 120 mill cap or the same 30 mill on s 133 mill cap?
