The second week of the offseason is winding down for the Dallas Cowboys and the talk about contracts is all over the place.
Discussions centering around Dak Prescott and his contractual situation are the subject of the hour.
To this point there have already been multiple pieces written by people on the beat discussing how the Cowboys do not have to extend Dak Prescott this offseason (our own Brandon Loree discussed that idea here) in the name of creating salary cap relief.
They can choose to restructure him if that strikes their fancy.
Ultimately, the Cowboys are going to have to do something with Dak Prescott’s deal whether it winds up being a restructure or extension.
Not to be too dramatic or anything, but whatever choice they make will significantly shape the overall offseason.
But there are other places where the Cowboys will find some money as well.
ESPN’s Todd Archer discussed the Dak Prescott situation as well and he astutely laid out the options that we know to be the ones staring the Cowboys in the face.
Restructure or extend. Doing nothing is not a probable option.
In discussing the subject though, Archer laid out some other details concerning the Cowboys’ finances and specifically said that they already plan to restructure the deals for both Zack Martin and Trevon Diggs.
We all know that a Dak decision is incredibly important but getting this also laid out is equally valuable.
At present time, Over The Cap has Dallas near $20M in the red in terms of salary cap space so any kind of flexibility is welcome. The Martin and Diggs restructures seem like they will get Dallas to ground zero so to speak.
