DUMB! Can the Boys still override this by signing a long term deal? i am not totally cap savvy, but hopefully they can lower his yearly salary.

DaBoys Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 Cowboys currently have the 6th most cap space in the league according to OTC at $22.8M, and I’m not sure if that includes Zekes $10M or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No it does not, his salary savings won’t be included until after June 1st since he was designated a post June 1st cut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, a new contract can be worked out to lower the CAP charge. There is a deadline for that though, July 14th is the deadline to sign Franchise Players to a long term contract, if not, they will play at the Tag price. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just let him play on the damn tag. Who cares if it 60 % over what other RBs got in FA. It’s still only $10M. It isn’t going to break us. We have more cap space than most teams. Why would you want to sign another RB to a long term deal? Especially when we don’t even know what he’s going to be like after his ankle surgery. I would have preferred to let him hit FA but we didn’t do that, so let’s not make the situation worse by signing him to a long term contract.

So in a way I am mixed. 28M is a nice number and I imagine almost half that will be carry over to help next year and it costs what 7 M for rooks. That leaves 10 M easy peasy to still spend on WR if they want Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nextyearfordaboyz Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 What an offseason so far. I didn’t have a lot of faith, but whoever is driving this train deserves a lot of credit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
