Cowboys almost $10 Million Under Cap, Have More Cap Space Than 21 Other Teams

[Midswat]

Thank you theebs.

And sp... it's been proven where we have faced consenquences from our mismanaged cap.

Please stop trolling. Its a black eye to the forum for fucks sake. You're better than that.

 

[cmd34(work)]

yawn.

who beat me? clearly not you. Contests are not settled by one jackass magically claiming victory. You didn't beat Midswat either. In fact, you really did lose and posting more nonsense will not change that. Proven wrong. Drink that in. Over and over again.

Troll on sir.

 

[superpunk]

the people have spoken, piss off

 

[Iamtdg]

Everyone's speculating. SP is speculating that our cap status has never hampered us from signing anyone. Everyone else is speculating it has. No one knows for sure.

Kinda like religion.

you mean like the people in the political threads? I guess since more of them say you are wrong, they are right.

 

[cmd34(work)]

what? I am talking about the giants doing in ny what jerry and the cowboys promised to do here and then turned around and are not doing it.

how does that have to do with me winning or losing or whatever you are trying to prove. i have been talking about this for years.

shark jumping? Why dont you make another one of your whiny ass tired matt johnson jokes?

what a dick.

Does your wife get suspicous when she runs low on tampons?

You calling anyone else whiney is the definition of irony.

When's your next forum vacation? I'm actually looking forward to it this time.

I will let you know when it is since you are so concerned.

thanks

 

[Iamtdg]

Very glad.

 

[Midswat]

Tensions are running high at the DCU.

 

[superpunk]

I win again.

 

[Iamtdg]

I win again.

I'm not even in this debate, but GFY anyway.

 

[superpunk]

More evidence of my victory.

Tensions are running high at the DCU as superpunk and Midswat argue over the team's salary cap issues...

 

[Midswat]

You're turning into one of the worst posters here, sp. I'm not joking.

The team obviously wasn't in salary cap hell, but they were absolutely cap constrained. Cap hell is having like 1/3 of your cap in dead money a la Oakland.

However, they certainly couldn't have "done whatever they want" this year. They had just about exhausted every possible restructuring option available to them. They could have squeezed out a few more bucks with a long term Spencer extension, but that is going to cause issues down the road and they had the Free restructure/pay cut left. That was about it.

So, they are a little under now. They can extend someone or roll it over to next year as a credit. Unfortunately, they have about $140 million committed for next year on a flat cap.

That is a new site I haven't used much, but we can use it for argument's sake. Not a lot of dead money in 2014 (which is how I'd define cap hell). However, they need to cut $20 million off before next year. Lee, Hatcher and Spencer are free agents, I think. Dez in 2015

There are a few guys you can restructure for significant savings (Romo, Ware), but you again increase the cap hit down the road. A few guys you can cut (Rat, Livings, Bernie), but no real depth behind them.

So, my opinion, not cap hell, but not exactly a good cap situation nor a situation where you can go do whatever you want in FA. Teams do get in this position, but they are usually Super Bowl caliber teams trying to keep a core together for a final run. Dallas is an 8-8/non-playoff team trying to do that.

Hostile said something similar.

My wit is hilarious until you find yourself on the wrong side of it. Don't worry you won't stay there forever. Just when you're wrong. Like now.

More evidence of Mids/cmds victory.
