Their list of FA’s in 2020 is crazy too, so have to start paying 1 or more of those guys as well:
Amari Cooper
Jaylon Smith
Byron Jones
La’el Collins
That’s a lotta cash. Don’t forget they are gonna have to break the bank on Zeke too. Gurley made the RB go up last year and LeVeon is about to make it even higher.
Oh I agree,
But Romo/Witten/Dez are all coming off their books.
They currently have 54 Million in cap space without extensions or restructures.
That doesn't even include cutting Sean Lee (They probably will) which would add another 7 Million in cap space.

Exactly.
The Cowboys might have a lot of cap space now, but after they sign the guys they need to sign, they won’t have nearly as much. [Reply]
They have $115 million in unaccounted cap space in 2020, assuming that the cap doesn't go up between now and then and they have no rollover from 2019. [Reply]

You have to account for who they are going to cut June 1st too....
I could see them cutting the following realistically.
La'el Collins 6.5 Million Cap Savings
Sean Lee 7.0 Million Cap Savings
Tyrone Crawford 5.9 Million Cap Savings
Allen Hurns 5.0 Million Cap Savings
Terrance Williams 2.0 Million Cap Savings
Add that to their 54 Million in Cap Space, that would be 80 Million in Cap Space.
I think the more logical outcome that we'll be looking at for the top 3 right now are:
1. Berry stays at his cap hit and has surgery in the offseason. Best case scenario....he starts the year on the PUP list and comes back Week 6.
2. Restructure Houston's contract. If you convert $10 million of his base salary into a signing bonus...then it gives you another $5 million in cap space this year and you can cut him after the 2019 season ($6.5 million in dead money vs. $17.5 million in cap savings).
3. Tag and trade Ford. I don't trust him to play DE in this defense and hold up against the run. He was good in stopping the run with his speed from the backside of the play but he wasn't great when teams ran right at him. Realistically....I'm looking at pick #44 in the 2nd round and a late 2020 pick from the Packers. [Reply]

So we’re basically giving Houston a 10 mil raise then cutting him next year... Clark will pay 10 mil upfront for Houston but cut him next year. Ya no [Reply]

He played 4-3 at Auburn and was where he was the best at [Reply]

It's not a fucking raise. It's converting his base salary, that he was already going to get, and spreading it out over this year and next year. [Reply]

Cowboys are sitting pretty good.
You're only allowed 1 June first cut IIRC.
They'll probably cut those guys for sure, but they've got a lot of guys coming due for sure.
Plus I'm guessing jerry pays Dak like a legit franchise QB which is gonna suck up a bunch of space. [Reply]

Don't shoot the messenger
I ain't "shooting" a gat damn thing; makes all the sense in the world to me; Ford is a shitty one-trick and Houston as a true, hand in the dirt DE? Child, please.
