its amazing how you take something simple and try to over explain where you make no sense. Its as simple as this. This team knows how to manage a QB caphit. Romo was never the issue. It was always the overpaying older talent, like the ratliff, bradie james, ect...
With how this team is structured Dak will never be a issue. Because theyre not going and signing the expensive FAs but rather replacing players with rookies. And its working because they are drafting so well.
Dallas has learned from their mistakes, all you have to do is look at the contracts of Tyron, Lee, and Frederick. Where they took small SB that allowed the team to restructure and still never be strapped. Tyron has 5 yrs left on his deal and after this yr will never be over 13.5mil. And they can get out of his deal this offseason with only 5mil in dead money. Same kind of structuring with Frederick and Lee. This team is doing good. Let the do it.
Again, restructuring does not make a 34M AAV into a 20M AAV contract.
When all years are considered it has to average out back to the AAV paid to the player.
It's like a credit card. You could spend more than you make some months or years but eventually you have less available to spend because part of your earnings go to credit card payments.
In Texas if your electric bill is $100 in March it might be $300 in August and average out to $200 over the year. If you only had $200 a month available to pay it, you could charge $200 in August and make a $200 payment in March. There is zero interest on salary cap credit card purchases which makes the concept simple compared to the interest on a real credit card. With zero interest your credit card charges and payments just have to average out to be equal over time.
In your concept, your electric bill would always be $100 because you're not including the credit card payments in your scenario.
In your concept the amount of Dak's contract is not important. In reality Dak's AAV needs to be around 15% of the cap in order to still have cap space to field a competitive team. If his AAV is 50% of the cap then NO amount of restructuring will allow them to field a competitive team over the duration of his contract.
Tyron's contract was team friendly from an AAV perspective.
Restructuring Tyron's contract and using it like a credit card just gives the team flexibility. They restructured Romo's contract multiple times but eventually had to make the credit card payments when his cap hit was over AAV in 2016 and they made 19M in credit card payments over 2017 & 2018 when he was not on the team.
When all players on the roster and all years are considered, the credit card purchases must average out to equal the income (cap space).
Maybe if you tried paying attention to the details I post, you would learn something and quit creating threads with false information.
Obviously you won't pay attention because there is no cost to you to just keep making misleading threads. Why would you put in some effort to be accurate when there is no real penalty for being wrong.
It reminds of online poker. When playing games for free some knucklehead would constantly go All-In which screwed up the games for everybody else. Then they allowed (for a period of time) games to be played with real money. Once real money was involved, even small stakes, most of the knuckleheads disappeared.
