If I am correct, it's the Cowboys who have to absorb Martin cap hit and they have 20 million of cap.
These are the numbers I see on Spotrac:

POST-6/1 TRADE​

2024 Dead Cap: $13,750,000
2025 Dead Cap: $26,460,000
2024 Savings: $1,750,000

https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/player/_/id/14425/zack-martin

I don’t see them dealing with $26 million in dead cap space next year.

They’ve made their bed and now they have to lie in it.

Dak isn’t going to accept any trade he’s not building a mega mansion to be traded unfortunately he’s secured for at least another 4 years. The only hope is Jerry stepping aside and letting a real football guy run the team and we all know baring illness that’s not happening. I agree with you but just don’t see much change unless a new HC who isn’t a yes man is hired and I just don’t see that happening based on Jerry’s track record
I did not say he would. Jerry was dumb again to give him a no trade clause. If Dak was smart now that he got his money he would request a trade to the team he wants to go to.

Didn’t mean to imply you did sorry if that’s how it sounded, I think Dak is happy where he is.

I don't think they need a 5 year rebuild, think they can fix their roster and coaching within a 2 yr period, even with the contracts currently on their books.
Jerry has been trying to rebuild for 30 years. He can't do it. If they had a real Gm it would take a few years to turn this around. If they want a Superbowl they have to move on from Dak, rebuild both lines. They need a running back, linebackers, and DBs. This team reached it's peak a few years ago. They need to blow it up.

Yes, GM Jerry needs a 40 year rebuild.

They need a voice they listen to, where they change their building philosophy. Parcells did that in his time with the Cowboys, Bellicheck/Saban could do the same, but Jerry is going to have to swallow his ego and not hire another puppet yes man.

This team has an amazing ability to paint themselves into a corner.
Stephen has taken over the day to day and actually has been just as bad as his father. Need to promote McClay to GM.

We have been talking about Belichick......I forgot Saban sitting out there. I say add him to the list........he's def a Jerry-type hire. Not to mention he knows Jerry and Stephen very well.

thoughts? a new era has begun and it may last several years, fans need to adjust to life rooting for a bad team. Things are going to get worse
Exactly! I was fully expecting this team to go south this season but when Jerry extended Dak right before the season started, I knew our 3 or 4 year rebuild would turn into a 6 or 7 year rebuild.

Get ready for some really crappy football for the next several seasons!

I wish!

But honestly, I think that both Jerry and Stephen are now all about maximizing profits, in any avenue possible. College games, concerts, boxing, MMA, and now racing.

They're money guys now, not football guys.

They’re chasing the bucks, not Championships.

Every Owner should be focusing on how to maximize profits. However, one does not have to exclude the other.

Does having more playoff home games make a team more profitable? Yes it does.

Does winning a SB, mean a team makes less profit? No, it absolutely does not.

GM Jerry is just an idiot. Do not give him credit for making our team suck to make more money.

KC has an Owner/CEO, a President and a GM we have Jerry Jones doing all 3.

That wont happen. Jerry wont stop being Jerry. Parcells could only take so much and he bailed. All Jerry wants is a puppet. Jerry is making the call on who plays on GameDay.

Jerry should be happy being the puppet.

BB does not want the attention. "On to next week"

Give BB 100% autonomy and Jerry can pretend that all of BB's ideas and plans are his.
