Apparently the cap is skyrocketing with the new tv deal
Doubt it.
And even if it was, so what?
So Dallas can afford to keep the same guys they have, but only just able to do so?
Ratliff is gone. He's not hurt, I'm calling bullshit on it. Guys come back from Achilles and ACLs faster than this.
I said it a while back as a joke but I honestly think the team is punishing him. I think they couldn't afford to cut him because it would have increased his cap hit by 6M.....they could have split it but that still ups the ante to dead money that is greater than the cost to keep him.
He couldn't get anything on the free agent market coming off both an injury and a DUI.
So the team says they'll pay his salary this year because they can't afford to cut him, all he has to do is stay the fuck away from the team and go train on his own somewhere.
