Salary Cap Numbers

[Mr_437]

Cut or trade Coop save $16M.
Cut GZ save $2.5M.
Cut Jarwin save $4.2M.

Restructure contracts to sign FAs, but I'd leave Tyron n Zeke's contract alone...Tyron could retire and Zeke is gone in 2023.

I had posted this in another thread, but just wanted to get opinions on what we should do

Just ran the numbers on sportrac if you were to do the following:

1. Restructured Dak Prescott
   (Saved: $12,643,333)
2. Restructured Zack Martin
   (Saved: $7,147,333)
3. Restructured Tyron Smith
   (Saved: $6,190,000)
4. Restructured La'el Collins
   (Saved: $5,976,667)
5. Released Blake Jarwin
   (Saved: $4,250,000)
6. Released Will Grier
   (Saved: $1,020,408)
7. Released Greg Zuerlein
   (Saved: $2,500,000)

That gives you $15.6 million in cap space.

If you restructure Zeke - I know, that is REALLY kicking the can down the road it would get you to $24.7 million.

If you cut Cooper and leave Zeke contract to where next year is the out - you get to $31.6 million - Can restructure and get to $28.2 million

If you really bite the bullet and cut Tank/Cooper - you are close to $40 million

Anthony Brown saves another $5 million if released.
McGovern saves $2.4 million if released



If you went the full kick the can down the road and bring the boys back method:

Restructures of all the big contracts - Including Coop/Zeke/Dak/Martin/Collins/Smith

You get to $41 million which would be enough to bring back all the major FA's you have possibly leaving - but puts you in preverbal Cap H-ll

Nice work....you put some thought behind this

This makes it clear that Dallas is in position to do almost exactly what they want with players they think their schemes are dependent upon...now, it becomes player evaluation projections and team stability emerging into the immediate future.

Player evaluations hit high gear once the coaching staff is settled.
