What are the cap numbers for next season?

This was his EXACT post

"Over the CAP shows about 26 million for 2018 with current contracts in place and no changes"

Over the cap is the web site, not a statement we are over the cap
Confusing if you don’t know about the site I guess

Haters gonna hate. You are just mindlessly ranting and have no idea what you are talking about.

Haters gonna hate is a cop out !!! 23 years of ZERO CHAMPIONSHIPS, when 80% of the NFL has at least been to those games is where you should really focus your attention!!! Jerrys way doesn't work, Stevens way doesn't t work, JG's way doesn't work, here's an idea, take a few teams who have had successful organizations (anyone but our favorites) for the last two decades and COPY the way they do things. Or, go purge their organization and bring in the people who will do it for you.

He said 26m UNDER the cap and it is closer to 30m with rollover

Then there are contracts that will get restructured - TSmith, TFred, Lee and re-done- Dez, Witten, ZMartin and some cuts- Hanna, Mayowa, OScan

All in DAL has 60m of cap space to work with
DLaw-15m
Hitchens-4m
Irving- 4m
Cooper-3m
FA DT- 8-10m

So bottom line......we can pretty much do what we want

With the cap going over 175 million, along with some key guys getting restructured...it looks that way.

DLaw and Irving are top priority in my book. Gotta have pressure on the QB folks.

Martin is getting at least (probably more) than what Zeitler got this year, which was a 5 year deal worth 60 million, along with a 12 million signing bonus and 31.5 million guaranteed.

Just getting those three players back next year would be great...and expensive!

http://www.spotrac.com/nfl/dallas-cowboys/cap/2018/ looking pretty good from what I can tell $25,000,000 under, DLaws franchise tag and Martins 5th year the only 2 things really setting us back to keep our team intact. So yea..., even better in 2019 when Romo's dead space goes away

If Jerry and Stephen identify a difference maker, this is a year that they can go after him. Unfortunately there really isn’t anything too interesting in the free agent class this year. Jimmy Graham will be available at TE, he would give us another nice weapon on offense. But all in all, I wouldn’t expect much activity. And we’re going to need money to resign the studs from the 2016 draft at some point soon.

just the way our luck runs; the year we COULD buy a big time FA there ain't any worth the money.

Last year's team was championship caliber. Not Jerry's fault they lost to GB. Romo had a couple of shots with a really good team. Crayton dropped a sure TD and the Cowboys lost to NYG. Parcells' game plan against Seattle was pathetic and Romo botched a simple FG hold. Stuff happens. The Cowboys have had some good teams during that period. Just didn't get the ring. If a ring, and only a ring, is your measuring stick, well, then I wouldn't want you evaluating my performance at anything.

 

[Teague31]

Keep Lawrence, Irving and Cooper
Get rid of Scandrick.
Get Martin locked up.

The Seattle game was one we would not have won even if Romo had been able to run it in for a TD. Our D had huge holes and Seattle was pretty much doing what it wanted. Even if we had held on in that game we would have gotten worked in the next one.

Being championship caliber does what? Makes you feel like you're almost a winner? Only half of a loser? Have you ever played a sport? Asking because I want to know if you're competitive. If you're not, it's probably best not to waste our time here. If you are, tell me if you are ever satisfied with second place? Third, fourth, Fifth??? The Cowboys never even get the chance to compete for second place. What are they doing if they are not trying to win? If being good means not even being in the top 7, then ok I guess you prove your point. It's not asking too much of the team you support, (unless you don't support), to compete for at least second place once every 25 years. Any GM with the record of our GM would've been fired at least 15 times by now in the past quarter century. Any coach that loses as min as ours does would've been fired at least 4 times in the last decade. I mean if wining at least a conference championship means anything.

LOL..........Jerry the GM. Looks like another year of restructuring just to get under the cap? Sad.

That means another year of certain posters claiming the cap is a myth and we could sign anyone we wanted. LOL

? He said 26M of cap space.

Over the Cap is the name of the website with cap info.

 

[xwalker]

Trust me ........ by this point, nobody expects you to know anything.

Some a of the rest of us can agree on.

Roy inadvertantly causing everyone else to find common ground in their disdain of his nonsense.

 

[Direwolf63]

We're stuck in a bit of an Abbott and Costello routine here.

Who's on first?

 

[zekecowboy]

Its the best shape Dallas has been in on the cap in a long time. Usually going into next year Dallas is OVER the cap and restructuring is required to get us UNDER the cap.

I don't understand the question.

What does it matter? The organizational direction is not to spend money on free agents.

Are you just curious for other reasons?

When you botch 1st and 2nd round picks repeatedly then you are forced to pay free agents if you want a chance.
