Romo non-restructured Offseason plan

[LatinMind]

Lets get rid of the headaches in this type of post. The cap the rollover and money from restructures and releases.
The cap im still going with 142.5 and rollover of 3,260,470 Adjusted 145,760,470
9.748,115 under the cap
Melton option not excercised
Dekota released
Weeden released
Free voided
Dallas goes to 19,148,365 cap space

They go to Carr and ask for a paycut, he agrees to a 6mil pay cut on his BASE SALARY.
Tyron takes a 10mil restructure
Dallas goes to 35,148,365 under the cap

Keep Carr on the roster this yr and let him have 1 last chance to win it in Dallas. And part ways in 2016 where his dead money is alot lower. Tyron's deal is just amazing that even taking his 10mil and pushing it back still does nothing to hurt you because there are so many years on it.

Resigning Dallas' own players
This has to start with Dez Bryant, Dallas cant lose him, so i think they need to work out a deal before FA starts. Dallas not working something out yet does kind of sound like they arent totally convinced in Bryants off the field life. Because it clearly cant be another on the field. But i think it gets done.
7yrs 90mil 25mil in Guranteed money(SB and Guaranteed Base)

Think with the lack of DE's that arent tweeners in the draft hurts a little. The ones that are out of Dallas' reach(Lawrence and Dupree) The next tier arent locks to be starters. Lets win the superbowl.

Pernell McPhee 6'3 280lbs DE BAL
SDE if you have ever saw one. Plays in Baltimore as OLB and he's gotta have something to him if he's getting snaps and sacks with all the passrushers they have. tough on the run and can rush the passer. Hungry type of player, with an attitude.
5yr 25mil 10milSB
First yr 3mil cap hit
14,553,365

Corey Peters 6'3 305lbs DT ATL
Back from a ACL tear the previous yr and had a successful comeback. 1Tech who can play the run and give you some rush aswell. Before the ACL tear he was having a really nice yr in 2013. Should be back to full form in 2015. Only 26

Heading into the draft Dallas has its starting SDE and 1TECH spots locked up and already had its 3TECH and WDE locked up. Taking off a big burden of drafting for need.

RD1 Todd Gurley RB Georgia
He should be ready to go by the time the season starts. Might take a couple weeks to get his conditioning up But i dont see how you can pass him up at 27.

RD2 Cody Prewitt FS Ole Miss
Can start out playing in packages and take the next step in 2016

RD3 Cedric Ogbuehi OT Texas Tech
I know some wont like this here, but i would. Stash him for the yr on IR and come out and challenge Free in 2016.

RD4 Cedric Reed DE Texas
A guy who i think is going to challenge on somebodys team for snaps. I hopes its Dallas. Let him battle it out with Lawrence and Mincey.

RD5 Tony Washington LB Oregon
A LB asked to do what Dallas does with its SAM. play the run, rush at times and drop back into coverage.

RD7 Kyle Loomis P Portlant State
Dallas does need somebody to punt right?

Think the Defense would have improved its depth alot.

 

[waving monkey]

I have to say I like it a lot.
One week ago I would have booed this draft but
I have really come around on Gurley at the one.
It makes business sense and football sense ,bingo!

I of course question the second round pick. Thats a standing difference in point of view.

I was just looking at Corey Peters if we can have him at those numbers why not.

I would have likes to see a higher investment pick at the DT

Great off season can only hope it goes so good.

 

[AmericanCowboy]

Im on the Todd Gurley bandwagon!

But i think we resign Demarco ( which isnt the worst thing in the world) and i dont think Gurley is there at 27.

He is awesome to watch.

So, 1st round pick.is hurt? 2nd rd pick won't be good until 2016, and the 3rd round pick to IR for the year?

 

[LatinMind]

Gurley will be ready by the time the season starts.
Prewitt wouldnt start, but is that saying he wont be good?
And yes Ogbuehi would be on IR.

Anything else? If Dallas fills needs on the DL in FA what RD1 defensive player would start?

Anything else.... Drop the attitude.
I read your post, and I was a little taken back, that you would present a draft, that a team, that would be a couple years away, or is a SB champion would take. IMO, the 1st 3 rounds are for starters.

I see no value, in taking a RB in the 1st round, let alone one that is injured, unless they are all world.
Also, taking essentially another Wilcox(not saying same player or skill set), who needs a year or two of development. I am not saying, he wont be good, just, Dallas' window is like this year, if not the next 2yrs.
Then, with the 3rd round pick, you say, take a guy, who will not play this year.



In 2014, Dallas got an NFL ready, dominant(IMO), RG. Then, they traded up, and got a good DE, although he got hurt. Then, in the 4th round, got a solid LB, who can play all 3 positions.

So, what is Dallas getting from the 2015 draft?

I feel, RBs are plug and play. You can make the case that Demarco is really good, but there are a few things that irk me about him. Contract year is the big one, another is improved Oline. Now, if he does this after signing his big contract, in 2015, I will eat crow, but I think I am right. I really think, after watching the transition Randle made from his rookie year, to this year, he can be a 1000 yard back behind this Oline. All Dallas needs to do with the running game, is control the clock.

I enjoy the amount of time, you take to make these posts, please do not the responses as attacking you.

 

[PoundTheRock]

Can't get behind that draft at all. It'd be like bringing the team we have right now back.

 

[Nation]

Dez would have been signed two years ago if he'd have been willing to take 25 million guaranteed. The number it'll take will be closer to double that.

 

[jrumann59]

To the OP I think if I keep a LB I keep Carter, he is younger, has more upside and looks like he was coming on at the end. I like Durant but with Hitchens you already have versatile LB and keeping McClain MLB and moving Lee to WLB you have little more versatility in case of injury to McClain. My question then is who will return kicks and punts though.

 

[Doomsday101]

Biggest need is a pass rush and nothing changes with the OP view.

Carter has been hit and miss. Sometimes he shows great signs and then other times he looks clueless.

 

[Doomsday101]

Carter has been hit and miss. Sometimes he shows great signs and then other times he looks clueless.

Out of all the FA Dallas has he is the one guy I have mixed feeling on. Over the last 5 to 6 games he was as solid as any player we had on defense it was like the light came on and if figured out what it takes to play at this level. On the other hand the past tells us he could drop off the map once again.

Think the Defense would have improved its depth alot.

First of all good work. But i hope we get Beasly a bit cheaper

A bit of a correction. The length of Smiths contract does not matter because every signing bonus (and so the restuctured money) has to be prorated over the actual and the following 4 years. So you cant prorate it over his whole contract (If that was what you were trying to do).

That would mean we'd have 33,148,365 left after restructuring Smith (10/5 = 2 mils/yr with 2 mills added to 2015). Regardless thats enough money to follow your plan till the end.

For completeness here's the rule:

CBA, Article 16, Section 6, Paragraph 5: Proration: The total amount of any signing bonus shall be prorated over the term of the Player Contract (on a straight-line basis, unless subject to acceleration or some other treatment as provided in this Agreement), with a maximum proration of five years, in determining Team Salary and Salary.​

I think he takes a while to acclimate to a new system, similar things happened to him when he came for a 4-3 in college to the 3-4 in dallas it took him a season and then some to figure out ILB

Think the Defense would have improved its depth alot.

Drafting a RB round 1 is a waste of a pick. You can get good RB's in the later rounds.

I think he takes a while to acclimate to a new system, similar things happened to him when he came for a 4-3 in college to the 3-4 in dallas it took him a season and then some to figure out ILB

Part me feels that way as well. I think the scary part is will he continue to play at the level and above from here on out? I think Carter has the physical ability to be a star player in this league but there are times I like many have question his desire.

To the OP I think if I keep a LB I keep Carter, he is younger, has more upside and looks like he was coming on at the end. I like Durant but with Hitchens you already have versatile LB and keeping McClain MLB and moving Lee to WLB you have little more versatility in case of injury to McClain. My question then is who will return kicks and punts though.

Carter was actually our team leader in Interceptions.... He did seem to return to form and I like the fact ( like NE LB's of the past) that we can get some picks from our LB's

Dez would have been signed two years ago if he'd have been willing to take 25 million guaranteed. The number it'll take will be closer to double that.

Dallas is not going to give him 50mil guaranteed. CJ doesnt even have 50mil. he has 33mil in a SB
