Don’t for a second believe the Dallas Cowboys are as cash-strapped as they suggest heading into the 2025 offseason.<\/p>\n
Despite Stephen Jones’ claim insisting that the roster building this year will be “really, really tight”, the Cowboys could make room for spending. In fact, a couple of reports suggest Dallas could create upwards of $100 million in salary-cap space.<\/p>\n
Mike Fisher recently shared a simple path the Dallas Cowboys could take in five easy steps using round numbers to create $100 million in salary-cap space.<\/p>\n
By “flipping the switch” on Dak Prescott’s and CeeDee Lamb’s contracts, signing Micah Parsons to an extension, and money carried over from 2024, this path looks absolutely doable for the Cowboys.<\/p>\n
These are all normal NFL front-office practices – standard tools available on the total box – and added up, Dallas\u2019 three moves will have created $40 mil (Dak) + $20 mil (Lamb) + $10 mil (Parsons) + the $30 mil (carryover)\u2026<\/p>\n
And these three players will be taking up just 25 percent of the cap room and the Cowboys will have a rather astounding $100 million in 2025 cap room!<\/p>\n
Another report from Pro Football Network goes into a little bit more detail about how the Dallas Cowboys can create more salary-cap space in 2025 with a few contract restructures and an extension for Micah Parsons.<\/p>\n
Main restructure\/extension candidates for the Cowboys<\/strong><\/p>\n Dak Prescott (2025 Cap = $89,896,666) – conventional restructure could open $37,196,000 in cap space (no option to add void years). If these numbers are accurate, and the Cowboys make all of these moves, this would free up close to $90 million worth of salary-cap space and that’s not even including the $25 million carried over from 2024 or money saved from potential salary-cap casualties.<\/p>\n That’s a lot of moolah!<\/p>\n So again, buy into the Stephen Jones insistence roster building will be “very, very tight” this offseason for the Dallas Cowboys if you want, but the numbers speak for themselves.<\/p>\n The Cowboys should have more than enough salary-cap space this year to do just about whatever they want in free agency. The only question is\u2026 will they?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Don’t for a second believe the Dallas Cowboys are as cash-strapped as they suggest heading into the 2025 offseason.

\nMicah Parsons (2025 Cap = $21,324,000) – the final year of his deal, so no conventional restructure, but could open up $16,123,200 with an extension or adding void years<\/p>\n
