What Will The Dallas Cowboys Do With Their Remaining Cap Space

The king of changing field position! Other than that I do not see any must sign now. Spencer ehh I’d wait and see right?

As for the two year guys, well RB is a touchy spot So I’d leave Felix alone. Witten is a class act I think he can be had any time.

In JG/Stephen I trust to sign these guys how the cap allows it.

But I thought I heard that we could accelerate some of next year’s dead money into this year. If that option is there, they could cut 20 million in dead money to 12.

Let him go out and test free agency. He’s a Cowboy for life, so let him see how much other teams want to pay him and Jones will match it.

Or give him a 10 year, $25M deal. Either way.

I like Rucker over Bennett, but I’d give Bennett this year to show he won’t drop passes at critical times. Holley depends on how he does this year as well. Unless Spencer comes alive he seems like JAG and we can find those from our UDFA’s. Parnell you might roll the bones and just offer him the same money for another 2 years or so, he can be bought cheap and has good upside. McBriar we have to lock him up and then find someone to pass the torch to for later.

To me everyone else is expendable. McCann gets lively on ST but I don’t think he actually plays his position very well and don’t like it taking up a spot we could use on someone else.

but apparently the Cowboys don’t.

I would probably extend McBriar, at the right price, plus whichever WR, of the three on the list, that Jerry/Jason think has the greatest likelyhood of still being on the roster 4-5 years from now.

We have our new kicker! They got their man…he is it.
Signed after Detroit cut him.
Jerry sent his jet to pick him up, and he is already in Dallas.

but no one else. We know we have Felix and Murray locked up, so there really isn’t a reason to extend Choice at this point.

Not included on the list are our 1 year deal guys like Elam and Sensabuagh. It’s too early to tell, but if either plays well this year, they could consider locking one of them up mid season.

I’d like to see Ratliff or Witten extended with some front loaded contracts that push money into this year and lower their cap in future years.

I would have added Scandrick to the list if he could be extended on the cheap, but that ship has already sailed. That leaves only McBriar. We might want to keep Spencer, but that would qualify as a “wait and see” in my book. The rest of the guys can be replaced if we get outbid.

Jimmy Johnson plug….

Couldn’t resist.

He was TD machine in college, and known as a solid blocker. I don’t know much more other than that he is young and apparently healthy. You guys think should take any action on him?

No need to worry about extending him as I don’t believe he makes the final 53 anyway

Jason Avant.

Wonder what will happen to that guy.

Jackson, Maclin, Steve Smith (if healthy), and I know they love Riley Cooper and the Hall kid.

Avant is not a four….Cooper is the four.

I wonder how deep the Dreamers will go at WR.

Then Witten, Jones, Butler…all get extensions based off of right now. Ask me again week 12

I think it should be noted that the Cowboys not only have shown a new draft culture and new trust in competition and young guys starting….but their use of contracts, releasing players, and creating this much cap room in a year we started over the cap is just another great sign for the franchise.
I think it will be a while before we see another old and overpaid free agent join this team, but a new signing before the season starts is not out of the question.
Imagine this much cap space and TNew is still making about 9mil! If he doesn’t come back from injury we have the space for DB signing. If young talented DL is dropped during the 80 man roster cuts (or later) we may go after them. And if Holland turns to a donuts, we have cap space to sign veteran OF to back up young guys.
Wow, what a difference a HC that takes charge can have for a franchise.
While I hope we re-sign Butler, to all those calling for him to start every play, keep an eye on how Ryan uses Spencer….Butler can’t do have of those thongs right now and will never be able to play 3-4 DE like Ryan has asked Spencer to do.

He shows flashes but Jerry please wait on him and let him pan out a little. No need to get yourself in a cap crapper just cause ya got money in your pocket at this moment.

I don’t think 116.7 – 5.5 = 112.2

:)

The team can wait and see on this. Outside of maybe locking McBriar in, all the others can be looked at into the regular season to see who emerges. And meanwhile, have the money available in case the team needs to sign someone like a place kicker or some other improbable situation.

Not anyone super expensive…just a solid CB for insurance, keep our CB draft picks, tell Alan Ball its been real, been fun, hasn’t been real fun….and maybe a FA DE better than Olshitzky after we cut him, which won’t be hard to find. Were as good as were gonna get on offense, lets upgrade the D just a little.

McBriar is the only one on that list that i would not want to get to FA
