All things salary cap 2014

Clarence Hill ‏@clarencehilljr 6m
Cowboys created 3.75M in room with Scandricks deal and 4.75M with Lee, shaving off 8.5M. Still work to do. But roughly halfway there

 

[Omegasupreme]

Halfway to the zero point? That's only a quarter of the way to free agency.

 

[GloryDaysRBack]

Nothing to see her but restructuring... Check back in may for the draft.. Until then, nothing of importance will occur

 

[cmd34]

I don't agree. Jerry can't keep up his "we're so close" mantra and then do nothing to improve (in his mind) the team. Bringing back last year's team, last year's coaches, minus a few high-priced players, and only adding a few draft picks is not going to generate any buzz.

He's going to try to sign at least one name free agent.

If they would stop handing out all of these bad contracts they wouldn't have to do this every year.

StepHeN iz a GENYUSSS!

 

[GloryDaysRBack]

Romo restructured... About one million over now

 

[Rock Slamdance]

I assume this doesn't take into account cutting Austin in June?

Guys we may have enough to sign the next Dan Conner.

 

[GloryDaysRBack]

Correct, miles has not been cut yet.. And his cap space will not be available until after June 1st..assuming they designate him a post June first cut, which is expected

 

[Jon88]

What about Ware? I guess he'll be cut after June 1st? Anyone remember what we'll save?

 

[Iamtdg]

Romo's cap hit in 2015 is now $27 million. Highest in the NFL. Let that little nugget sink in for a bit.

 

[Jon88]

Wow, what a contract we handed him. Stephen just outdoes himself every year doesn't he? What's the cap hit if we cut him?

 

[Iamtdg]

Almost 20 mill, but then we also have 41 mill in dead money in future years.

 

[Iamtdg]

And, that's not cap savings. The 20 mill is still a hit on the cap.

 

[Jon88]

Looks like we may have to cut him after this year.

God what a clusterfuck.

 

[peplaw06]

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.

 

[Jon88]

This is insane.

Sigh...

I am going to have to start ordering my Makers Mark by the barrel.

What a sad state my "favorite" team finds themselves in.
