Salary Cap space - Updated

[Nightman]

Judging by the cash flow being reported, I think years 2 and 3 are swapped, but otherwise looks accurate.

I was thinking an Option bonus Year 2 with lower base salaries for Years 2 and 3

The Option Bonus could be then prorated like a Signing Bonus if they add dummy years

The only hiccup is the 30% Rule that is in play because the CBA is expiring after 2020

Contracts can't increase by more than 30% year to year

The Eagles did it and are doing it

They have borrowed 34m from 2021-22 to keep things rolling after winning the SB

The Rams bought a trip to the SB
The Broncos bought 2 trips and a win
The Seahawks bought a trip combined with some young picks

Correct. Our FO needs a serious refresh. Bring in some Harvard, MIT guys to run analytics and the cap. We should have the best analytics, best facilities, best fan experience. Best player experince. Why are we. It the Golden State if the NFL? Oh yeah... we have Jerry & Stephen. 5 billion dollar franchise run like a mom and pop grocery store.

Exactly....less sentiment and more experiment

Looks like they are trying on the field with KMoore so maybe things are a changing

[EMMITTnROY]

My gosh I hope they use some of that cap space to get a Gerald McCoy or a Suh.

That would be the way to go, this would allow the Cowboys to get the best player in the draft , when their pick comes.

 

[GoCowboysGo]

Don’t the Cowboys need to roll over cap room with The big three needing to sign next year?

Cooper
Prescott
Elliott

We can’t spend like drunken sailors

We can

He have 20m-30m this year and 100m next year.... that is plenty

 

[CowboyRoy]

No ...they should always borrow from the future to win now.... it is just smart business and simple math

Having 120m next year is ludicrous without borrowing some of it for this year when we are so close

There is never a cap hell in the future...... never

No it’s actually really stupid. The less you do it the better. But keep talking like you get it. Which you don’t.

Only desperate teams or ones trying for one last run.

 

[CowboyRoy]

We can

He have 20m-30m this year and 100m next year.... that is plenty

And why do we have all that space? Because we haven’t been stupid the last few years and stopped the dumb restructuring program. They got smart.

 

[Killerinstinct]

Sign Amari and create more cap space. Extend Dak with a front loaded deal.

Sign another F.A. Berry? Mccoy? Suh?

 

[CowboyRoy]

If we do this now, we can’t do it in the future. They should be careful about who they restructure and when.

I’m not accusing you of this - I know you’re a cap guy. But there seems to be a notion that the cap is imaginary, that they can just keep turning salary into bonus without a cost. That’s not accurate. Right?

He is 100% the worst cap guy I’ve ever seen. Has absolutely zero idea how to properly manage the cap. His laughable, fantasy theory is based on mortgaging the future for a one year run every year.

With one of the youngest starting teams in the nfl, this is about as dumb a plan as you could possibly come up with. If the cowboys continue to play it smart and do the opposite of what bozo “cap nightmare” wants so us to do, we should dominate the cap management for years to come.

Then trade for brady!

I would prefer to dominate in January.

Fred restructured in 17&18. Smith did in 15&17. Romo did in 14&15. Witten did in 16&18. Oscan did in 16. Free did in 16. That's just the ones I know of. @Nightman may know of more.

So I don't know where you're getting we haven't restructure the last few years. The past 3 years, including 2019, we've restructured 4 contracts. The previous 3 years we restructured 5. That's just my count could be more.

At least have a point and an argument when calling out people.

He just called @Nightman the worst cap guy he’s ever seen.

Yes , I know

 

[CowboyStar88]
