Cowboys Advised to Trade 3rd-Round Bust to Ease Salary Cap Crunch

Cowboys Advised to Trade 3rd-Round Bust to Ease Salary Cap Crunch With the Dallas Cowboys and the impending offseason, every little bit will help.

It might be like moving the deck chairs on the Titanic.

The team will not only need to reassess its strategy following yet another massive postseason collapse,

but it also probably has to provide very huge new contracts to the players who caused the collapse.

In light of this, the contract analysts at Spotrac are advising the Cowboys to hold off on making a trade for Jalen Tolbert in order to save roughly a million dollars.

The team selected Tolbert in the third round of the 2022 draft. Although he showed signs of being ready to play as the No. 2 wide receiver at times during the season,

quarterback Dak Prescott never seemed to trust him, and he ended up finishing with 22 receptions on 36 targets for 268 yards.

Tolbert was just 103rd out of 128 graded receivers this season with a Pro Football Focus score of 56.5.Moving Tolbert might aid the Cowboys,

who are in severe need of cap room, according to Spotrac. The website included the following as “cap-clearing possibilities”: “Trade WR Jalen Tolbert, freeing up $943k of cap.”

Although Tolbert has demonstrated he can play WR2 in some situations,

the Cowboys cannot afford to wait around.

Dak Prescott and CeeDee Lamb Need New Contracts

The Cowboys’ efforts to control their payroll as the extensions for Prescott,

wide receiver CeeDee Lamb, and edge rusher Micah Parsons approach might include trading for Tolbert.

It was a bit of a roller coaster at times, but the Cowboys secured another NFC East crown with a strong finish down the line, as Spotrac’s Mike Ginnitti noted.

Though there are a few free agency gaps to fill and a possible cap casualty or two,

this offseason will primarily be devoted to taking care of their own,

namely QB Dak Prescott, WR CeeDee Lamb, and ED Micah Parsons.

Dallas has about $11 million less cap room heading into the offseason than it did before.

However, as the playoffs started, things only got worse, and the roller coaster kept going with a huge collapse in the defeat to Green Bay.

The Cowboys find themselves in a difficult situation where they must give credit to players who,

despite their historic playoff collapses, were among the best in the league during the regular season.
