Dallas Cowboys News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now! — Cowboys Tender Cornerback Steward, Boosting Secondary. Machine-transcribed; use the interactive transcript above to jump the player to any line.
On March 4, Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has cleared major hurdles in salary cap space. Starting with a deficit of nearly $55 million, the team restructured deals for quarterback Dak Prescott and offensive lineman Tyler, Smith. These moves created $47 million in fresh room, putting Dallas back on track for free agency. Reports from insiders confirmed the changes this week, with Prescott seeing $38 million of his future base salary shifted to A, signing bonus. That alone freed up over $30 million. Combined efforts pushed the Cowboys total cap space to nearly $66 million as listed on their official site. Fans and experts had questioned how Jones could promise more spending after last season's poor defense. That unit ranked dead last in the league, surrendering more than 30 points per game and over 500 total in the regular season. The week performance drew heavy blame and dimmed Super Bowl hopes. Jones now eyes further tweaks on contracts, especially for defensive tackles like Osa
Odihizua and possibly others. He aims to target experienced free agents to shore up the front and boost their down defense for better playoff runs. These steps show Jones borrowing from future years to compete now, setting the stage for a stronger Cowboys defense and an active free agency splash.
