DieHard 2,061 Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 Oh hell no. Wilson or Watkins, yes. Is Pioli there? Way over pay and still manage to make the player feel like you aren’t bought into him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtimer 8,685 Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 Having failed to work out a long-term deal with Dak Prescott last offseason, the Dallas Cowboys weren't going to let that happen again. ESPN's Adam Schefter reported the two sides agreed to a four-year, $160 million contract, with a record-setting $126 million in guarantees. While Schefter referenced Prescott's massive earnings in the first year, it seems fair to assume the two-time Pro Bowler won't be counting for $75 million against the salary cap in 2021. In addition, the Cowboys will presumably have wanted to bring that number in below the $37.7 million it would've cost to give him the franchise tag for a second successive season. Using a $185 million salary cap, Spotrac projected Dallas to have $25.9 million to spend before news of Prescott's extension. ESPN's Field Yates explained how the team might have a little bit left over: The Cowboys will inevitably open up a little more flexibility with roster cuts. The Fort Worth Star-Telegram's Clarence E. Hill Jr. reported in February the team isn't considering releasing Jaylon Smith but could open up $7.2 million if he's designated as a post-June 1 cut. Perhaps Tyron Smith ($5.2 million savings pre-June 1 and $10.5 million savings post-June 1) could be a candidate to go despite his seven Pro Bowl appearances and two All-Pro nods. At the end of the day, Prescott's contract—while helping—doesn't change much. Dallas painted itself into a corner by only giving him the franchise tag in 2020. There wasn't really a scenario in which allowing Prescott to leave entirely made sense. Setting aside the necessary money to retain him for 2021, the Cowboys weren't going to have much left over to pursue marquee outside additions. By lowering Prescott's cap hit by more than $12 million compared to the franchise tender, the front office at least guaranteed it doesn't need to jettison as many players to make the money work for next year. This probably doesn't make the Cowboys heavy hitters in free agency, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
