"Through simple restructures, the Cowboys can free up $131 million in cap space, according to data from Over the Cap compiled by SFdata9ers on social media. That's the highest for any NFL team this offseason. And it gets better. If every NFL team decided to do maximum restructures (defined as extensions or renegotiations), the Cowboys would have the third-highest cap space in the league."
"For Dallas, this means they can truly bust the budget, as restructures would allow them to postpone cap hits into the future in an effort to spend "cash over cap" this offseason. In other words, they can go all in this season despite the cap's constraints and worry about cap hell in future years. This is what the most aggressive front offices in the league-such as the Philadelphia Eagles -consistently do."
The Cowboys sit $29.1 million over the cap but can restructure recently-extended contracts to create substantial space. Simple restructures could free up $131 million, the most of any NFL team this offseason, based on Over the Cap data compiled by SFdata9ers. If every team pursued maximum restructures, Dallas would rank third in available cap space. Restructures allow postponing cap hits to enable a "cash over cap" spending surge now, at the cost of future cap pressure. A Maxx Crosby pursuit could be handled by trading for Pickens, which would fit the Raiders as they draft quarterback Fernando Mendoza and seek more offensive firepower.
