"The good thing is, they still have until Wednesday to free up cap space to sign any of the players they "agree to terms" with before Wednesday. Long story short, with the Cowboys sitting at $222,896 in available cap space, they can agree to terms with whoever they like, at whatever dollar figure they like, as long as by the start of the new year on Wednesday, they have the available cap room in 2026 to sign those deals."
"Kenny Clark and Quinnen Williams are the two easiest to start with. While Quinnen Williams could be signed to a new extension, it's more likely they will restructure his current contract to free up $14.5 million in cap space. Clark is a bit more interesting, because they could go about his contract in a few different ways."
"The best case scenario is Clark and the Cowboys agree on a completely new contract, giving him more guaranteed money over the next few years, and significantly reducing his cap number for the 2026 and 2027 season. For this article, we are going to assume the Cowboys, get an extension done with Clark, and free up $15.3 million, which is the most likely scenario."
The NFL legal tampering period begins, allowing teams to agree to terms with free agents before the official start of free agency. The Cowboys currently have minimal cap space at $222,896 but can strategically manage this by restructuring existing contracts before the new league year begins Wednesday. Key players like Quinnen Williams and Kenny Clark offer significant cap relief opportunities. Williams could be restructured to free up $14.5 million, while Clark presents multiple options, with a full extension potentially freeing up $15.3 million. These adjustments would provide the Cowboys approximately $30 million in available cap space to pursue free agent signings during the active tampering and free agency period.
