Tyron Smith Restructured Contract

[Sarge]

Hardy ain't happening.

 

[TRUTH87]

i think this space is for rookie class and to possibly use it next season. (The Beards extension)

 

[Mr Cowboy]

Drafting for need with the #4 overall pick is the mark of a truly clueless franchise.

around here that only applies when a QB is a consideration of need. when it's DE or CB, you have to draft for need.

 

[Zimmy Lives]

I haven't heard much regarding Hardy. Any rumors about him being close to getting a contract?

I wonder now if we are considering bringing him back.

If everything Hardy did was a bad as implied, I'm certain there is a contract out there.

 

[TwentyOne]

It's a 10 yr deal and he took a discount, nothing to worry about

Its not like they can prorate the restructure over the whole contract. It can only be spread over 5 years.

 

[AzorAhai]

People really need to stop with the Hardy hopes. It's not happening. Everyone with any inside access to the team has said the same thing. Woodson was talking about it even more. Things like even Jerry doesn't want to deal with him. Seriously how bad does a guy have to be for Jerry to walk away from talent? Other things like its Garrett or Hardy. They aren't going to publicly bad mouth him, but they want no part of him.

Good move

TFred doesn't have to be extended until 2018.

Most FAs signed would be gone by then. No point in waiting or reserving space for something that will happen years from now.

They will keep restructuring as long as there are at least 5 years left.

He is young enough where they might extend him again

Barring catastrophic injury Smith will sign another big deal.

After today's restructure, Tyron Smith's contract still has the final 3 years without any signing bonus proration.

They will keep restructuring as long as there are at least 5 years left.

This was the final year of Smith's extension that included a fully guaranteed base salary, which meant a restructure was a virtual certainty.

He will be a likely candidate to restructure again the next couple of years, if our cap situation warrants it, as Tony Romo's deal is best left alone and Dez Bryant's may be, as well.

I would go ahead with a restructure on Dez this year, but there are no empty years on the deal that don't yet contain any signing bonus proration because he only signed for 5 years.

Dallas can add a voidable option year to the contract in order to get the maximum five years of proration or just do it over the remaining four years for slightly smaller savings.

Bryant's '17 base salary ($13M) just became fully guaranteed yesterday, but it remains to be seen if they will do anything with his deal this year, let alone next.

The Cowboys should exercise the fifth year option on Travis Frederick in the near future, which will keep him under contract through 2017 (and at a reasonable number, unlike top ten picks who get the same as the Transition tag).

But they won't want Badger Fred to play on the final year of the deal in '17, they will try to get a long term extension done next off-season. It will likely include a low base salary in '17 with the second and third seasons being designed to be restructured in order to keep the cap hits low.

Wonder if he will set the record for real dollars actually paid to a non quarterback

There are some edge rushers up there with him. And he isnt/hasn't fought for every last dollar.

This. Also people need to stop with the qb @ 4 nonsense.

 

[CowboyStar88]

Still don't see a clear direction this team is trying to go in. It's like they are okay with just having Romo and Dez back. They've upgrade one position and became weaker at DE. Also we've done poopoo about the backup QB which was clearly an issue last season.

I'm so not excited about the direction of this team. I don't see them competing for the division without upgrading positions.

Not a JG fan.

He was younger than most coming into this, so he has a chance as long as he keeps his play elite.

I would still caution using him as a bank.

 

[DeaconMoss]

As much as we need a qb to groom. I don't think Dallas wants to do it with the 4 pick. A trade and get an extra pick or 2 they might go after one of the so called top 3 in this class.

I think they'll get on but not until the 3rd at least.

QB at 4 is anything but nonsense.
Even mediocre QBs are making bank and are worth a fortune.

Other positions hit FA, good QBs do not. You have to draft them. The higher the better historically.
