They absolutely can if they want too. They may not like how they would need to structure the contracts but it can easily be done....easily!

It’s getting there, but a guy making 28 and a guy making 30 is still quite a difference from 2 guys making 35+
You initially said 30m plus.

I don’t think these teams care they know the cap will increase. We haven’t seen it because we haven’t seen deals like this but the higher the cap gets the more big deals we will see teams have under contract.

Bengals might be the next time seems like Higgins is gunning for 30 million.

Which is why you’ve seen them not commit to contracts past this year….why the offensive line is full of rookies, why Gallup isn’t here, why Armstrong is gone, why Tyron is gone, why Pollard is gone……they’re showing you what they are doing.
Are you saying they are gonn sign all 3 or let them all walk

Why do you never have confidence in your own opinions. You say a lot of things that you really don’t mean at all, huh?
I never stated an opinion. The difference between me and you is I don’t just say things just to rile up fans on this site. That’s your MO. If I don’t know if the Cowboys will try and sign all three guys why would I say that? You have no argument for why you feel this way you’re just anti Dak and for you that’s enough reason for them not to do it. It’s silly logic.

Nobody likes letting good players leave but that's part of why the cap exists. Keeps any team from just buying all the best players & spreads out the talent for parity.

I'm a team builder, focused on winning on the field so what I would do is probably different than what the "marketing" clowns will do. But how can I argue with all their championships?
Sometimes you have to let good players walk. To me you only keep elite players or players at a position that’s hard to fill. The key is having a plan and if you aren’t gonna extend a guy you trade him with one year left so you can get picks to replace him

Micah will be the highest paid defensive player ever.

CeeDee will want more than Jefferson who just became the highest paid non-QB ever.

Dak will want to be the highest paid player ever.

That would be the highest paid ever at defense and offense PLUS the highest paid non-QB ever all on the same team.

No. Chance.
Lol.....great fan!

Dallas ain’t doing that.

There’s a clear odd man out. Some just refuse to see and accept it.
I tend to agree with this that 1 of the 3 will not get an extension. I just don’t see cap boy doing it. Could you imagine the backlash if they did that and this team was hot garbage or did a 1 and done scenario again? We think this offseason was bad? That offseason would be a meltdown.

While true the Cowboys issues to me doesn’t even need to be bought. You can get a rookie DT and a rookie RB in here and fix your issues in the trenches.

3 on 53 is hard.

Even the Jones boys know this.

You have no idea what the cap is or how their deals are structured to even make such a claim.
Remember how shocked Dak Haters were when they discovered Prescott and Cowboys had viodable 2025 and 2026 seasons...... :laugh: :laugh:

The information had been on Sportrac since 2021....

Dak Haters are guessing their way through with jenky Narratives

You can. Long deals with lots of guaranteed cash and cheap early years for a couple and the other more early salary cap hits and less in the future. It’s all about structure. Whether it’s the best move is a question but it can be done

If you want to get super semantic, Sewell does not make 30m$+. 4/112

It’s not just about the total amount, it’s about how their AAV is relevant to the cap. Julian Edelman had a great take about this on his podcast. The typical team has about 3 players making top-of-the-market money, then 7-8 players making second tier money, and then a bunch of thrifty or rookie deals. How NE was run, why he thinks they were so successful, is their only big contract was ever Tom while he was there. Mccourty and Gronk got positional wealth, but TE and S didn’t really make anything back then. So Belichick’s strategy was the 1 big contract, then 15+ second tier deals to balance the roster. He got rid of Seymour over money, Law, Milloy, Moss, Welker, Revis. He was shedding talent to diversify. Tom was the driving go force for those SB teams, but he doesn’t play Oline, he doesn’t play Dline, he doesn’t play secondary.

Dallas seems to be taking the exact opposite approach. Martin is a top paid G in the whole league. Diggs is one of the top paid CBs in the whole league. Tyler Smith will likely be that next year. And then you add 3 more guys to that list and Dallas’ salary cap allotment will be top heavy in a way we’ve never seen before because you’ve gotten rid of nearly all of your second tier players. Dorance Armstrong, Stephon Gilmore, Tyler Biadasz, Michael Gallup, Dante Fowler, Tyron Smith, Tony Pollard. The guys who were your league average total of second tier players from last year.

How many Cowboys right now make between 10-20m$ a year? Thats a huge cap area to cover. One? No one has EVER attempted this kind of thing before.
