How the Cowboys might manipulate the roster to get under the salary cap

The Dallas Cowboys are going to be making some big moves with contracts. Based on current projections, they are already over the NFL salary cap to the tune of $16 million and change. They will have to generate more through some combination of restructures, extensions, player cuts, and possibly trades. Further complicating things, they also have a lot of players that are set to enter free agency.

The dismal way they were ejected from the playoffs is another factor to consider. The team clearly needs to shake things up. All those elements will be on the minds of Jerry and Stephen Jones.
