As the old saying goes—“There’s more than one way to slice the salary cap.”
It feels like an annual occurrence when the Dallas Cowboys front office restructures their long-term contracts with players to free up money for the “now” while pushing the hit down the line. Zack Martin and Tyron Smith are usually the usual suspects in this situation. One player the Cowboys have restructured a few times is quarterback Dak Prescott. In the past, some of Prescott’s four-year, $160 million contract has been converted into signing bonuses to help Dallas’ salary cap.
For example, on March 10, 2023, the front office converted $29.
