Just draft a QB and blow the god damned thing up next year. What other choice do we have?

$27 fucking million for 1 player? This has to be some sort of a joke. They must have let Morris Claiborne draw up the contract.

I think Jerry is setting up to keep Ware for this season and not restructure him. What is Ware guaranteed after this next season? Would it make sense to keep him and see how he performs for one more year then cut him or restructure after next season?

Edit: His cap number will be $17.5 mil next year, and it will cost $5.3 mil to cut him.

17.5 mill for Ware plus 27.7 mill for Romo = 34% of our cap next year.

For two declining players.

Fucking pathetic.

If you can avoid restructuring Ware, it helps. Taking the whole Miles hit this year would be nice too but I doubt they can do it

They just can't figure this salary cap thing out. They need another 20 years.

I can't stand soccer. It's gayest sport by far. I didn't play it and my son isn't playing it.

Cowboys likely will have to restructure Romo again next year

Posted by Mike Florio on March 4, 2014, 8:55 PM EST

The Cowboys created $10 million in 2014 cap space by converting $12.5 million of quarterback Tony Romo’s $13.5 million base salary into a signing bonus.

The move sets the stage for another restructuring in 2015.

With Romo’s cap number already due to be $25.2 million, the restructuring adds another $2.5 million, pushing the cap number to $27.7 million.

While the cap is expected to continue to go up in larger amounts than in the first two years of the current labor deal, $27.7 million will be a lot to carry for one play. Even if the cap shoots to $140 million, Romo will count for nearly 20 percent of the entire cap.

With a $17 million salary next year, the Cowboys can easily shrink the number again. If, for example, the Cowboys convert $15 million to a signing bonus and spread it over the five remaining years of the deal, the cap number will drop to $15.7 million.

In turn, that would increase the future cap numbers to $20.6 million for 2016, $24.5 million for 2017, $25 million for 2018, and $23.5 million for 2019.

Of course, Romo will be 39 by the time 2019 rolls around. At some point before then, Romo likely will call it quits (voluntarily or otherwise), and the Cowboys will assume a cap charge for any remaining bonus money that was kicked down the road this year and, inevitably, next year.

The worst part is, we have nothing to show for these cap woes.

Literally nothing. No championships or playoff runs or winning seasons, even. Nothing.

We're a shitty team with a fucked up cap.

Jesus Christ.

Yet, Jerry continues to brag about how much money he spends, as if this somehow vindicates his dumbass ways. It actually just makes him look even more incompetent. He is just too football stupid to realize it.

He actually brags that he spends millions on players that never play.
