The Who Stays, Who Goes – Defensive Edition considers the performance of players on the Cowboys’ roster and their contractual status for the 2017 season. Click here for the edition covering offensive players and specialists.
To assess performance, I used the grades given by Profootballfocus.com (PFF) for this season for weeks 1-6. Along with the PFF grade, a percentile rating is also assigned. The percentile is the rank of the player in comparison to all of the other players at the position that had enough plays to be ranked by PFF. The higher the percentile rank, the better.
To help assess the likelihood of being on the team next season, the base salary, roster bonuses, and workout bonuses due for the next season are listed below for those under contract beyond this season. This is essentially the new money due for next season and is used rather than the salary cap charge, which often includes charges for payments made in prior years. Because charges for the new money will hit the cap at some point regardless of what the team does, the new money is the additional amount that will be incurred (whether in 2017 or in a future season) based on the player being on the team in 2017. For large contracts, however, such as Tony Romo’s, the salary cap charge nonetheless becomes very important because the large cap charge from prior payments does have a considerable effect on the decision to keep or not keep a player. Salary related information is from Overthecap.com.
For impending free agents, the assessment of the likelihood of returning is nothing more than an educated guess since it is difficult to predict not only what the team will do, but what the other 31 teams might offer.
Finally, the chance of returning means being brought to training camp and not necessarily making the team to start the season. Considering that nothing is really 100%, 100% is used when only an extraordinary circumstance (e.g. horrific injury or off-field incident) would lead to the team not bringing a player back.

Oops, that's right, it's defensive -- sorry!
