Who's the blockbuster player we're gonna sign?

[conner01]

Exactly..........They have a 5th year on Lamb, Parsons is not even eligible yet, and even if you give Diggs an extension it would not kick in until after his rookie contract expires, meaning you still would not need any large cap space for him this year.

In other words, there is no plausible reason for restructuring multiple contracts to free up $20+ million in cap space THIS YEAR for extensions for those guys. You also are not going to restructure contracts to free up cap space to "roll over" into next season and you dont need near this amount of cap space for draft picks, not when you are getting an additional $11 million after June 1st from the Zeke cut, which is more than enough by itself to sign your entire draft class.

The only logical explanation for needing this much cap space right now is to be able to absorb a large contract through either trade/free agency.

I’m not sure how much we actually have right now but we generally take a lot into the season for in season deals
But all money carry’s over if you don’t spend it. I think they will wait and see if the cost of some of these trades come down and some of the ask from a guy like OBJ
A big deal aside we still need 4-5 guys just to replace some we lost but most won’t be high dollar guys. They like a guy like Kearse who really never got a shot but had talent. Maybe a guy who was a good prospect coming out but been held back by injury. That’s kinda how we built the safety position

Probably for Diggs and Ceedee

Safest bet right there.

Good points

 

[Jarntt]

Sign Wagner and extend Diggs

 

[LatinMind]

All this cap space makes me feel like someone major is coming.

Who is this player?

I say Hopkins or OBJ

 

[conner01]

Offensive line help, will draft a receiver

I think the opposite but we shall see. To me at 26 there’s a good chance you can get a day one starter at guard but with the cost of a WR contract they will get picked over early. But at 26 who knows what can happen

 

[conner01]

I say Hopkins or OBJ

That’s my thinking. I think with both it’s gonna take some time for them to come together though. OBJ has to come back to reality on a salary and Hopkins has to see the next two years he’s signed and if he wants more years they aren’t gonna be huge

 

[GoldenR]

Nobody. They'll blink in the OBJ negotiations. Too many teams interested.

These morons are hard at work trying to bring back the same team as much as possible.

Didn't I hear he wants 20 million? Even Jerry isn't that foolish.

 

[manster4ever]

Hard to not believe a let down is coming after a good day by the front office yesterday but I'm holding out hope.

The Cowboys desperately need another WR weapon and I think Hopkins is the best player available (sort of available but via trade) but I don't want the Cowboys to give up a draft pick for him.

I'd rather sign a FA like OBJ, Mecole Hardman or DJ Chark, although Chark is a long way down the list in my book.

Chark is sneaky good...I'm in Lions country and he had a real nice year. But I'm with you, he'd be down my list too. I think they might pop a deal for Hopkins. We absolutely need more firepower outside to peel the top off of D's and he could do it.

 

[bleachedwheat]

Trade for Elijah Moore 4th rounder, sign LB Drue Tranquill 2yrs 9mil, sign G Gabe Jackson 1yr 5mil, sign DT Greg Gaines 2yrs 14mil

 

[JBS]

I say Hopkins or OBJ

It’s fake news

 

[goshan]

we will sign or trade for a WR.
RB and TE in draft.

 

[XXLMike]

Davante Adams is the blockbuster we should all hope for.

 

[Sandyf]

I think you have to bring the draft into play. There are, according to the experts, only 15 guys that really warrant 1st round grade. Knowing that 4 QBs will go top 15 and actually now talk about a fifth could be also. In theory, all elite would be gone by 26.

Figure most WR and CB gone but would go for a TE or RB in first. Yes maybe an OL guy although could see that more with slight trade down.

Just think the big deal coming is going to be a WR in a trade of some sort.

 

[Bigrandrn]

Has to be trade because there’s not much “blockbuster” in free agency…a lot of Family Video’s and Hollywood Videos but no Blockbusters lol.

Freeman video….had 5 day rentals (including video game rentals in the early 90s lol) instead of 3 days!

 

[kskboys]

All this cap space makes me feel like someone major is coming.

Who is this player?

Gilmore. Huge huge acquisition.

 

[Carson]

Gilmore. Huge huge acquisition.

Gilmore was already accounted for before today

 

[rnr_honeybadger]

I really feel that the average Cowboy fan needs some form of rehab to unplug from this mania

 

[Landryhat73]

Why would they extend CD now, they have a 5th year option on him.

Aint that the advantage of taking guys in the first round, so you have a 5th year?

Seems like it would be kinda dumb to draft somebody in the first round and give them an extension after just 3 seasons, defeats the whole purpose doesnt it?

The advantage of extending now is that the money can be spread out further throughout the life of the contact and it will be cheaper this year compared to next.

Thielen is also available...
