Cowboys Freeing Up $66M, Eyeing Cuts for Steele, Thomas

0:00On March 4th, the Dallas Cowboys are freeing up $66 million in salary cap space this off-season by restructuring contracts for. Quarterback, DAC, Prescott, wide receiver CD-LAM, and Guard Tyler Smith. This move says them up nicely as free agency and the NFL draft approach, giving the team more room to maneuver. Earlier this week, talks heated up about potential cuts to create even more space. Safety, Malik Hooker tops the list, where releasing him could save about $7 million. He struggled in the secondary last season, and the Cowboys could replace him cheaper with a rookie or free agent. Fans and analysts have mixed feelings on these ideas, especially with right tackle tarant steel. A post-June first cut there might save $14 million despite a dead cap hit. His play dipped after his extension, with sacks allowed and penalties piling up, so many see it as a smart reset for the offensive line. Meanwhile, defensive tackle Solomon Thomas could be next for a smaller trim, saving $2.4

1:03million. He's versatile, but not in every down star, and the team might prefer adding fresh depth around players like Quinn and Williams. With Jerry Jones signaling more activity than usual, these steps could reshape the roster fast and keep Dallas competitive heading into a busy spring.
