Could have been 30-35 if tard would have not been a dumbass.

Don’t misunderstand, it’s still a stupid deal, just not quite as bad. And if they’re smart (they arent), when they start the season with a bunch of extra cap space, they’ll convert even more of Dak’s salary to signing bonus and get it out of the way now.

The beginnings of the nfl is gay trend.

Like a bloody creamsickle. Conversely the original pewter and red TB unis were great.

I love the orange Bucs uniforms

stafford, herbert, jackson, and wilson are all fucking light years ahead of dak. 

Stafford and Wilson yes. Herbert looks potentially better; he’s saddled with a shitty coach just like Dak. Jackson? Nope.

Cowboys currently have over $22 million of cap space 2nd most in the NFL.  

If they ain’t gonna sign anyone, they should use that toward Dak’s contract.

Huh. Letting Collins go might have been a good move.

Collins goofball shit trying to bribe his urine taker last season probably sealed his fate but he was a top ranked tackle. Could have something for him I think, or moved him to guard by Tyron.

JC Tretter is still available. I don't trust the center situation, which is kiiiiind of important. Being NFLPA prez probably doesn't make him more signable.

Zach Martin's brother is available as a warm body as well.

serious post?

I probably phrased that poorly. I’ll try to do better.

 

Convert more of his future salary toward signing, roster bonus or salary this season and move more of the cap value to NOW so that if/when he becomes so bad that it forces them to move him it’s not as painful cap wise at that point.

Cowboys apparently have two alternate white helmets. I guess the modern one will be worn with the color rush jersey with the blue shoulders.

I was just thinking about that when they announced the throwback.  Go with the throwback white pants with the color rush as well instead of the ones with the silver middle stripe

Dak’s deal looks a little better today after the Cards gave a circus midget $230MM/5 years.

QBs with even potential cost money these days, just how it is, most of them never make the second contract. The Murray one is questionable because the dude is a little bitch who doesn’t study and will never be elite. That’s not Dak. But I always forget, our team is the one that should just let qbs go until we find the next Tom Brady, and only if that guy also has a billionaire super model wife and takes a fraction of market salary, ‘cause every fan knows the salary cap better than all nfl executives.

NFL insider notes: Cowboys have spent the least on payroll since 2016, why cash trumps cap, new CBA and more

Cap discourse often excludes the numbers that matter, so here's a look at the real bottom feeders

 

By Jason La Canfora

"NFL fans get preconditioned to obsess over the salary cap. This time of year in particular, with free agency about to begin and players being cut around the league because of their cap figures, so much of the pro football conversation gets dominated by how much cap space teams have, or lack of it.

Of course, with a soft cap, the dirty little secret is, and always has been, that cash trumps cap and there are myriad ways to convert salaries and create space and continue to have a means to spend. Even teams seemingly caught in a bind routinely find ways to extend players or apply the franchise tag to players despite those confines ... as long as ownership is willing to foot the bill and keep writing checks.

The discourse of the cap, most often, excludes the true numbers that matter, and the metric that tells the story about which funds were actually poured into the product in pursuit of victories. Despite this being far and away the greatest revenue-generating sport in this country, and despite the owners sharing a revenue model in which massive cash subsidies arrive every year from the television contracts alone, we generally don't speak about payroll in the NFL the way we do in other sports. It's all cap, cap, cap.

We think of huge-pocketed guys like Jerry Jones, whose big personalities have become woven into the very fabric of the game, as massive spenders doing whatever it takes to win, even if it means bidding against himself. We focus on the snapshot of two desperate teams over-spending on some mediocre free agent and lose sight of how much money so many teams are bringing in, and forget which owners aren't exactly threatening to spend up to the cap in any given year, let alone over it."

 

It's an old article, but more of the same this season after spending money on Dak the last couple of years.
