CAPJ Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 I am not the greatest with this. Anyone have any insight on what our cap situation looks like for next year? I understand we still have some dead money for next year but do you think this is the year we move on from some over priced players to help open up money down the road?

WizardHawk Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 https://overthecap.com/salary-cap/dallas-cowboys/ Looks like $18m for next season. Martin will account for big portion of that. Crawford is the big one. That's a gamble that didn't pay off. His dead money would be $7.3m/$1.8m in savings, so I think he will probably stick for one more season. Dez has some big cap hits next 2 seaason. I'd look for an extension of some sort there. I'm sure Frederick's new deal has some sort of built in restructure. I bet Scandrick won't be around next year. $3m dead, $2m savings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texas_OutLaw7 Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 Scan almost wasn't around this year. He will absolutely be gone next year. A good amount of Romo's deadcap will also be gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope they try to get rid of Crawford as soon as it makes sense. Definitely not the player they hoped he would be. As for Dez, they need to rework that contract or find a taker. I think with the type of QB Dak is, they need to make the offense a bit more Brady like with quicker receivers. Dez's biggest strength is the deep 50-50 ball which seems to be Dak's biggest flaw. Dez is paid like a top 5 wr but in reality he is borderline top 10 and that's if he is healthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dallas94Ware Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 On Crawford: The guy hasnt had much opportunity. He is often the only quality player on the line in his rotations and he is singled out by the protection. Now that he is playing with Lawrence out there, he gets more chances, but he is also rotated in and out often. He was paid to contribute on a rotation at several spots, and he is, and although his numbers arent great he plays a pretty significant role on the front. Cutting him would leave a bigger hole than you can fill with a couple million. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree the LBs have been atrocious without Lee, but I feel like the whole point of playing Crawford as an early down defensive end is that he's going to hold up against the run. This week, that was just not the case at all. Lane Taylor, in his second career start at left tackle, just beat him like a drum apart from that misplayed screen that resulted in a sack. I think scheme plays a part too. Marinelli preaches backfield penetration above all else and that just makes us predictable on draw plays and exploitable on cutbacks. It puts a lot on the LBs also since they don't have the luxury of a defensive line that's going to keep them clean and they obviously haven't been up to task lately. I just don't think Crawford is by any means above criticism, and I don't see what's made him so much better than Mayowa or even Taco at RDE this year.

Calvert28 Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 God I wish there was a Luke Keuchley in this draft. We resign Lawrence, draft that guy, maybe a safety. Boom, SB run next year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingmonkey30 Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 @Matts4313 is the cap guru, and he can correct me if I'm wrong, but we can roll over the extra $10M or so we have available this year into next year as well, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is correct, any unused cap can be rolled over to the following season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This will be the first time in a long time we have been in good shape salary wise. Following year should be even just as good if not better since all of Romo’s Dead money will be off the books. We are finally getting smart on not paying for over priced FA’s. Steven Jones and Will McClay have done a tremendous job there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
