I was just curious if Sanchez would remain in the practice squad. So QB depth would be Tony-Dak-Kellen. RB depth would be Zeke-Alfred-Lance

Sanchez isn't eligible for the Practice Squad. Too many years in the league

Cowboys Restructured OT Doug Free’s Contract, Created $1M In Cap Space
Nate Bouda 3 hours ago Cowboys Leave a comment
Follow @nfltrade_rumors
Field Yates of ESPN reports that the Cowboys recently converted $2 million of OT Doug Free‘s base salary into a bonus, which created $1 million in cap space for the team.
Dallas currently had $10,086,373 in available cap room to work with, so it’s interesting to see them make a move to gain some addition cap space.
Free, 32, is a former fourth-round pick of the Cowboys back in 2007. He’s currently in the second year of his three-year, $15 million contract that includes $6 million guaranteed and was set to make a base salary of $4 million for the 2016 season.
In 2016, Free has appeared in six games for the Cowboys and was rated by Pro Football Focus as the No. 50 offensive tackle out of 78 qualifying players.
Everything I was finding was closer to $6M. If this article is right we actually could trade Romo (with another $1M freed up) although that does not seem like a move we would make now. Unless Romo is healthy and is asking out. Hopefully this is for a pass rusher and it would need to be serious one if the Cowboys had $9M in cap room and felt they needed to create another $1M by restructuring Free.

That's a wild thought.

Yeah when I saw this I started thinking that maybe (hopefully) the wheels are turning for a pending move.
Would love a blockbuster deal involving Romo, but short of that getting a quality pass rusher would be huge for us. A starting caliber LB wouldn't be a bad move either, but the pass rusher addition could be a huge difference maker for us.

Hopefully a quality pass rusher!
Hope Aints lose big next two weeks, maybe we can pry Cameron Jordan from them.

A big trade for a pass rusher would definitely be headline news.
That's one way you win the Bye week.

hopefully they have jeri fully distracted so he doesn't get bullheaded and do something stupid in order to accomplish that stupid goal

Getting a legit pass rusher isn't a stupid goal.
What in your opinion would constitute a "bullheaded....something stupid" move?

something like this:
I dont want to make a trade just for the sake of making a move when Dallas wont have any leverage and will likely be forced to overpay
If jeri has it in his head that this team is one player from winning the super bowl, its right in his wheelhouse to get bullheaded and start believing the notion that some player out there is the last piece of the puzzle. And when he gets visions of cherry plums and super bowls dancing through his head, he'll gladly overpay because as he likes to remind us, his best deals were ones that he appeared to overpay for at the time of his purchase.
Cliff notes: I dont trust jeri
