Peyton takes 4 million pay cut. Romo should do same.

[ABQCOWBOY]

Nobody, IMO, should expect Romo to take a pay cut. It was the organizations decision to pay Romo what we are paying him and that is his money. Now, I was not in favor of paying him that amount but it's done and gone. Now we have to live with those decisions. If he elects to take a pay cut, that's his choice but nobody should expect him or demand he does. That's not how it works.

A restructure would kill this team. Do you not understand a restructure. Pushes salary to a bonus and make it impossible to ever cut him or for him to retire

The restructure will not kill the team. The franchise qb retiring is what will kill the team.

That is just plain wrong. It has no impact on when to cut someone. Every salary dollar has to be accounted for, now or later.

 

[ABQCOWBOY]

So what? The cap goes up every year. It is an interest free loan or 0% financing. The money has to be accounted for now or later. It is smarter to do it later when the cap is larger and the impact is smaller percentage wise.

So do salaries.

Tony Romo was a significantly better quarterback than Peyton Manning last year and is four years younger. He should be making more money than Manning.

this too

If they restructure Romo they will add only 2.6m to the cap for the next 4 years, but they will gain 13m in cap space
If they spend half this year and roll over half they are still ahead 3.9m next year
It is better to get the space now when they can use it. After next year they can't create as much space because his base salary is only 8.5m and he would only have 3 years left to pro-rate
It is simply math and nothing to be afraid of

Not around here. No one wants to spend any money.

I bet if you agree to take a pay cut, Tony might join you

8th highest paid QB and Wilson doesn't have his deal yet.
Just had arguably the most efficient season of any Cowboy QB in history
Led the NFL in QB rating BOTH the regular season and playoffs

But hey, if he'll take a pay cut after giving back, lung, neck, ribs ...I'm all for it!

If I was making 17 million and I could wi a superbowl by taking a 3 to 4 million pay cut then yes I would

i'm about to take back my 12 year old comment.

you're not there yet. with that, you're either trolling or just something i can't say. either way, my apathy has consumed the rest of my desire to read more of your posts.

I am embarrassed for you. smh

some people are so clueless they shouldnt be allowed to procreate.

Guess you have to just blame the parents.

No salary doesnt. Bonus and guaranteed money is the only thing that has to be acountted for. Why do think it's possible to release a player to create cap space.

Adding 4 million back to the cap would not guarantee a super bowl. Probability wise it probably doesn't change the odds.

Right adding more money to later contracts making it when he retires he will be a bigger cap hit. Restructure will be the wrong move.

 

[Nightman]

My apologies. Guess i was mistaken.

You weren't wrong

A pay cut is completely different from a restructure

The pay cut would save the full amount against the cap with no future implications

Nothing guarantee it but will help sign another player to help you. Dallas only has 5 million of cap space.

Not true. The Beazer just got paid.

 

[skinsscalper]

Thick skulls leave no room for brains.

If I got paid 20 million a year at my job, was worth 50 million and knew that taking a 20% pay could would catapult my company to new heights; yeah, Id take the cut.

Sure you would. I mean because it means more to you to make a bunch of millionaires even bigger millionaires simply for the sake of it. To hell with your own finances, huh? You're either terminally stupid or full of ****.

Right which is what Romo should do. We shouldn't restructure Any more.

 

[LittleBoyBlue]

Besides, I'd rather have this guy.

That's muffed up!! Lmao

Not if he plays for a couple more seasons. It will almost all be gone. Do you plan on cutting Romo next year??

They haven't restructured yet and they plan on signing Dez which will get his hit lowered from the tag.
