The Dallas Cowboys have recently restructured player contracts, which has resulted in a notable increase of $19 million in cap space. Before these changes, the team had approximately $14.2 million available, but now estimates suggest their total cap space could be around $33.2 million, with some reports indicating it might reach as high as $34.8 million.
This increase in financial flexibility positions the Cowboys well for potential trades as the season continues. However, NFL Network's Jane Slater has reported that the team is not currently looking to make any immediate trades. Nick Harris from the Fort Worth Star-Telegram has also mentioned that while the restructures provide options, significant trades may be more likely as the season progresses.
Additionally, ESPN's Todd Archer noted that the Cowboys can carry over any unused cap space into the 2027 season, which adds to their strategic planning. Speculation among fans includes a potential trade for Raiders' Maxx Crosby, although such a move seems unlikely at this time. Overall, the Cowboys’ recent financial maneuvers have opened up various possibilities for the future.
