Will Cowboys be more active when bigger names start looking for one year deals

[exciter]

Where are you getting 12 ?

Turpin’s tender once signed 5
Figure they didn’t want to go into the season with a bunch of rookie RBs who can’t pass protect with 60m QB coming off injury where his hamstring tore off hip… budget up to 5m
Martins dead cap hit for this season hits June 1st 9.4m
Next year it will be 17, guessing they hold back some for that 6-8… especially in the event they have to tag Micah
Every team tries to hold back 10m for rookie class and in season operating cost and signings
ERFA tenders for Hoffman and Thomas 3m for each I believe
Figure in punter and long snapper
Guessing they like to get a long term deal for Aubrey by mid season.

They can do anything that they want to do.

Elam and Murray are 10m . Elam 2.5, Murray 7.5. Give or take a couple 100k

It's interesting. They could fit a $20m cap hit easily. I don't see anyone who I want to pay that. Including the WR. Maybe Scherff if he is still near what he was 5 years ago. Trade?

The reason it’s in red is because it hasn’t been subtracted yet. The 10.6 listed was what his base salary would have been this season but is now void. His cap hit for this season of 9.4 million will kick in on June 1st.

I'll say this....free agency isn't about great. Great players don't make it to free agency unless they are too expensive or over the hill.

So knowing that.....I can sort of see the method to the madness of finding your own Zack Baun. Or your Becton. Finding your diamond in the rough. So look at all the 1st round busts and give them a change of scenery and see what you can do.

You still have to build through the draft but rounding it out with some solid veterans is the move.

It’s funny I was thinking the same thing. They are trying to recreate what Philly did. Minus the solid draft and grabbing the unicorn that is Barkley in FA.

This team loves to try and recreate what other teams do.

Go back to when they drafted Escobar(no offense here at all). That was to mimic the Pats with Hernandez and Gronk.

They don’t know what they are doing. So they try and copy. Then tell us they know exactly what they are doing.
