The Cowboys have yet to extend Dak Prescott's contract, have let some old players leave, and are not very active in free agency, so they need a big deal to make the salary cap more manageable. Is it possible that we are quietly witnessing the beginning of a major rebuilding of the place? – Craig Wilson/New Orleans, Louisiana
Intentionally or not, Dallas is undergoing a mini-roster overhaul. I'd call it a reshuffle, though not necessarily a rebuild, as it means the core of the team (Prescott, Parsons, Lamb, etc.) won't be considered in the future. The cap situation for the next two years has already forced some difficult decisions, and they will continue to be made. If the team doesn't make the playoffs next year, or even better, a rebuild could become more likely.
patrick:I think that is quite possible to a certain extent. I can't remember the last time I saw this in Dallas. Lack of action on both outside free agents, combined with lack of re-signing of in-building free agents, is a terrible combination, combined with an official retirement. And, um, this wasn't very pretty. But their cap crisis is something they can ease if they wish. Even if we don't extend Dak Prescott's contract, we could trigger some restructuring that could free up tens of millions of dollars more to create space to add and retain talent, but the The only moves made are some changes to Prescott's contract and Zach Martin. The hope is that things will turn around for the Cowboys soon, such as by re-signing Stephon Gilmore (?), hoping to compete for a championship in 2024, and relying solely on getting the best draft pick in history. is to disappear.
