Cowboys Restructure Contracts, Pursue Big Moves

0:00On March 5th, the Dallas Cowboys just freed up over $66 million in salary cap space by restructuring contracts for Dak Prescott, CD, LAM, and Tyler Smith. This gives them plenty of room to chase big moves in the offseason. Meanwhile, their three-time pro-bola-left guard Tyler Smith had surgery to fix a nagging issue from last season. On the trade front, reports say they're close to a deal for Bengals' past-rusher Trey Hendrickson after nearly landing Raider Star Max Crosby. Fans and analysts are buzzing about why receiver George Pickens as a must-sign free agent for Dallas, especially with talk of a franchise tag and a potential shift to a 3-4 defense. Titan-loop Schoonmaker might also be on the trade block after next year. Jerry Jones announced the team plans to spend more in free agency than last offseason, though exec Stephen Jones sent mixed signals on changing there. Experts like Nate Tyson say a stronger defense could make the Cowboys scary good.
