Tyron Smith Restructured Contract

[Nightman]

That's what I'm thinking. You wait until the top quality free agents are signed, and then you do this?

There are automatic kickers I think. Something about the 5th or 6th league day his contract guarantees.

The timing just is strange. Miss out on Weddle. Instantly restructure news comes out.

 

[Alexander]

Possibly a big trade where someone is trying to unload a contract they can't afford.

Not likely.

 

[Nightman]

so we really only have around 9 mil to work with unless we release some other folks

Even less
We were only 3m under the cap before this deal, so it got us to 11m under not 14m

Dont be suprised to see Hardy back in Dallas. Dont see a backup QB being somebody they would need to restructure Tyron for.

LM I'm seeing some very bad things about Hardy today. I guess Woody was on ESPN radio and Broaddus on Twitter (although he won't go into detail) but staff and trainers are weighing in on Hardy's actions last year and it's not pretty. I also think the word is out on him in the league which is why it's been so quiet with him in FA. I'll try and track down some particulars or maybe Woody's Girl has some info.

Bad things like what. And since when has Woodson spilled Cowboy's insights?

Weddle

If this broke about an hour ago, I would be excited, but he's a Raven.

 

[GroundZero1970]

It's for our new backup QB , Manziel come on down

 

[AbeBeta]

Anybody know what Tyron's cap numbers are going forward? In 2 or 3 years, it will skyrocket.

He has so many year left on the deal that we can do this three more times to push money into the future. In three years, his original SB is off the books as well.

I don't know that we should have any concerns about this $ three years down the line given how the cap continues to rise. His deal and hit will be small compared to newer ones

Haven't heard any rumors regarding Hardy, not talking to the Cowboys or any team. I wonder why he isn't shopping his services around?

This is what I find strange- the lack of news/rumors surrounding Hardy.

I just did a quick google investigation and the only thing I see is a blurb from February saying he MIGHT be on the Seahawks' radar. Considering that was like 3-4 weeks ago I'm guessing it's nothing.

If he really has no interest from other teams and we DON'T bring him back on the cheap, I think that speaks volumes regarding how the Cowboys really feel about him at this point.

Ok, that makes some sense.

If you read things from Fisher, he has been gone since February.

Of course, if you decided to go premium, you would know everything right now.

 

[KingintheNorth]

We're signing LeBron James!!!!!

??

 

[Alexander]

I know, right?

Well it could be to spark even more "interest".

Lost out on Weddle, let's see how a little extra cap space excites the rabble.

Instant relevance from what was grumbling.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

This has to be for a trade right? I don't see who's out there worth freeing the money up for.

Ha. I don't really follow any of those guys. Get most of my info from here, actually. Anything worthwhile gets a thread pretty quickly.

Although it hadn't occurred to me until now that we haven't heard anything about Hardy, in general. For a guy who must be great "click bait" material for the media, I'm kinda surprised.

The team turned $9 million of his $10 million base salary into signing bonus to create the room. Last week the Cowboys reworked the contract of defensive tackle Tyrone Crawford that freed up $4.39 million in room.

Indication of a signing about to happen? Chris Long?

Helman once again doesn't know what he's talking about. Overthecap had them at 7.3 million before the restructure. If he would have took the time to check the roster he would see McClain, Wilber and Brown are not on the roster, thus not taking cap space on there. McClain is at least 4 million himself if the reported deal was accurate. The team was probably hovering slightly above the cap. This move was needed no matter what. Either to sign more players or even just for draft picks
