The Dallas Cowboys have recently restructured contracts for several players, including defensive tackle Kenny Clark, cornerback DaRon Bland, and tight end Jake Ferguson, resulting in an additional $19 million in cap space. Before these changes, the team had approximately $14.2 million available, but their total cap space is now estimated to be around $33.2 million, with some estimates suggesting it might reach $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 planning any immediate trades, indicating that the restructures were primarily for flexibility rather than urgent action.
Nick Harris from the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reiterated that any significant trades may occur closer to the deadline, depending on circumstances.
There has been speculation among fans regarding a possible trade for Raiders' Maxx Crosby, especially since the Cowboys had previously shown interest before he was dealt to the Baltimore Ravens. While a trade for Crosby seems unlikely at this time, the Cowboys' enhanced cap space may allow them to explore various options as the season unfolds.
Further details about specific trades or acquisitions have yet to be clarified.
