Romo CAP hit

Personal Income tax is an interesting comparison.

You can have extra deducted from your pay and then get money back when you file; however, the total amout that you pay in is the same regardless of whether you paid in 110% or 90% during the year.

I was really talking about owing 5k for example and just deciding to pay 8k for no reason

You can do it but it makes no sense when you could invest that money instead and earn interest or just put it into a checking account in case emergencies happen or you want to to a vacation later that year

The funny thing is that there are still people that are confused by that simple part of paying income tax. I've met people that don't get that the total amount they pay is a separate issue from what they owe or get back when they file their taxes.

Right....most people think getting a big refund is like Free Money instead of realizing they could have kept it all year and spent it as they wanted or invested it for the future

They don't trust themselves to OWE money at the end of the year even if it is a few hundred or thousand

That is exactly why some people are so afraid of maxing out the cap and spending cash over cap ...you still have to make smart signings but paying Dez' 17m cap hit when it could be 9m is just wasteful and we can never get that space back

With Romo a June 1st retirement and Martin signed to a 5th year option of 9m.......DAL should be 30m under the cap for 2018 with 46 players under contract

That is with 0 restructures...........there is another 30m available if they wish to go that route and several players that can be cut like Thornton, Hanna and Carroll if he stinks

They still merry not spend. Unlike the Patriots, who will use any technique possible to improve their team, our FO is intent on only value.

they have a RFA tender for 2018 for 4m+ as a 1st rounder

That should work out nicely.
