News: Romo restructured according to the FAN

[Common Sense]

I have very little understanding of the Cap and how it works. etc etc. All the loop holes, etc etc.

But from what I read, on here, and other forums and articles, no one ever mentioned restructuring Romo in order to pay Hardy and Ro....In fact, the argument was made that there wouldn't be a restructuring of Romo this year.....at all. I'm sure some did mention it, but the line that Romo would have to restructure because of the Hardy signing and draft picks, and Ro was barely mentioned...

And we know nothing can be commented on AP becuase of tampering rules, and that AP/APs agent , the Vikings, and teams that may be interested in AP , are all playing this negotiation game; "The Dance".

ummmm.. These tweets about what its for or what its not for, I dont trust.......no matter who its coming from.... one thing is fact. We just restructured Romo and freed up 13mil....

I really don't understand what's so hard to understand about all of this.

Fisher said were not going after AP, u know wat that means welcome too dallas Adrian. I just can't see him in Arizona. Minnesota trying too play poker but they have no hand.

 

[DallasCowboys2080]

just heard on 105.3 the fan that its rare teams free up that much cap space for incentives for other players at this time. rare but not unheard of. just rare. another words its not typical. SO AP/AD OR WHAT?

 

[TheSkaven]

This is to have room for Mcclain, Rookies, Hardys cap hits and it still may not be enough depending on Hardys suspension length. For those speculating about AP, they simply won't have enough room without reworking Carr and extending Dez. If AP was brought in, they would almost have to rework/cut Carr AND re-sign Dez and even that would likely leave them with little wiggle room. Frankly put, AP is extremely unlikely imo.

They will restructure Dez - whether or not AP lands here. No way they'll let him go into the season with the distraction that would be a franchise tag and a one year deal.

You're underestimating the creativity allowed under the cap. They could rework Dez, sign AP, draft picks and still have room for another FA.

So the consensuses opinion is, they restructured Romo, a move that was discounted by many just yesterday, to sign Ro, make cash available for Hardy and sign draft picks....

okay.

We all realize that AP isn't a free agent, right?

This is the ticket, ladies and gentlemen. My spidey senses tell me that the Cowboys have gotten word from the league that Greg Hardy's suspension, if anything at all, will not be as substantial as the media idiots have been throwing around.

With those incentives being worth up to $8M+ ($11M total contract value, estimated), you have to have the cap room to pay them out - that money isn't off the money tree in Jerry's back yard. With the addition of Rolando it only makes even more sense to add a little more flexibility.

They have not gotten any word from the league according to Broaddus. He has heard rumblings
from inside VR that the suspension will likely be worse than people expect but that the NFLPA
will appeal and most likely go to court over it.

True. But most everybody believes he will be...; a FA or traded.....most likely a FA though.

The same Broaddus who said Kelvin Benjamin would be a scrub at best.

WOW!

Welcome to the team AP.

CHAMPIONSHIP!

Stop!!

Lol

I started a whole thread about the need to restructure Romo the moment we signed Hardy.

of course. draft trade is the understood movement time if any.

Or cheap or young or a model citizen (media drama-wise) or a signing that fits the new Cowboys FO ideology.

Oh, I get it. You're one of those guys who thinks there's no possible way the moon landing took place.

 

[SDCowboy]

That is some serious cap relief. I wonder if it's for anything special.

Take it as you will. It was discussed Tuesday on Talking Cowboys between Brian and Mickey.
I have no idea what will happen and guess what...neither do you!!!

huh? moon landing? That was easy.

But a bunch of sports pundits and fans trying to make sense of the cap and moves made in relation to the cap? Seems to be tricky...

Besides, questioning landing on the moon is sooo old. Its 9/11 now.

He's bitter about losing Murray.

He is hahahh

 

[MagicMan]

Anyone who thinks the FO is happy with starting the season with the RBs on the roster right now are delusional. A team that lives and dies by the run game, has invested heavily on the beef up front, has just let go their All Pro NFL leading rusher, knows not to burden Romo with 30+ passes a game and has established a blue print for victory that emphasizes the run is NOT going to rely solely on these guys and probably even a rookie RB.

Making room in the cap is setting up a scenario where they can make a run at you know who------someone ready to hit the ground running, literally. And take them to the next level. You hand the keys of a Maserati to a pro, not a pmiple faced kid who just got his learner's permit.

Dez alone won't be enough for AP and it definitely won't be enough for AP and a FA. Dez only creates around 6m in room. The Romo restructure has enough room for Hardy, Mcclain and Rookies. That means AP coming likely means you have to do a deal with Dez and likely have to redo Carr almost immediately. That also means the Cowboys would have very little left to carry into the season. I'm not underestimating anything, if anything, your underestimating the number and difficulty of moves that need to be done for AP to even fit financially.
