Sure and the purpose makes it pretty clear that it shouldn't have been called in this situation.

Again I made no reference whether it should have been called only that Butler triggered the call and it was a rule. Obviously it is a rule that isn't enforced with any regularity or one that is dealt with very often. Maybe something concretely will be put in place.

They won't do anything. It's just normal shady NFL stuff. We won't get anything as fans. And instead we will all just sit here wondering if the NFL is rigged, fixed, or arbitrarily decided by the refs.

You know it's pretty bad when even other teams called into the NFL to say that was a horrible call.
 



I wondered when somebody was going to ask that.

I would throw in Escobar, Tyrone Crawford, Dexter Coakley, and a 2nd round pick to sweeten the pot.

One option could be for Dallas to designate Romo a post-June cut. Dallas's top 51 are about 9 mil over its projected salary cap, and that saves Dallas another 5 million in lieu of a trade.

With Stephen Jones quoted by SI that Romo can't stay healthy and Jerra saying he's afraid to play Romo for a few cleanup snaps because of the injury risk, is whatever a smart team would be willing to trade given those glowing endorsements worth 5 mil in cap space?

Also Romo's agent may want to negotiate the best deal without the Cowboys interference, which would be easiest if he's released.

Cutting him as a June 1st cut doesn't get you any extra cap space until June 1st.

You trade him and restructure one contract and you get the exact same results. June 1st cuts just push some of the cap hit into a future year. It's no different then restructuring one of many contracts that we already have designed to do. Again, defies logic to just flat out cut Romo. Unless no NFL team views him as a starter anymore. And if that's the case Romo might as well retire or restructure his contract for pennies to stay here as the backup. (No way this is the case though, not with as poor of QB play as we see on other teams in the NFL).

True but 10 mil savings is huge heading into a year where you're already 9 mil over.

Restructuring big contracts is also rarely a good thing. You're going to restructure enough to sign rookies, get under the cap, and sign new players, but each one is a kind of poison pill-- especially bad contracts like Crawford's.

I'm mainly pointing out that this *could* happen. Jerry is loyal to his players, and making Romo a free agent would be a kind of parting gift.

It's no different then pushing Romo's cap hit into next year. Restructuring a contract isn't a poison anything. Its a way to move money from this year to next year (and further). It's the same exact thing as a June 1st cut. Which pushes some pf the dead money into next year.

I'm not sure why this concept is so tough for people to understand. So if you take the full dead cap hit this year on Romo. You have the extra space in next years cap to restructure someone. The end result is the same. Except with a restricture you get the money right away and a June first means you don't get it until June 1st.
 
I'm starting to think that a bye week in the playoffs is a horrible thing for Dallas.

It took them an entire half of football to figure out what the fuck they were doing.

Yeah, theres been quite a few people questioning the purpose of resting the Dallas starters the last game of the season.

Used to be the thing to do, but this "new" NFL with the wildcard teams coming in on a hot streak have kinda shelved that idea.

Unless you are Garrett, of course.

The offense came out firing and looked prepared. I think the D simply sucked for most of the first half.

It's not just the playoffs, it's the bye week as a whole since Garrett took over the team.

We are always slow out of the gates coming off a bye week.
 
Someone needs to get Dak on that Tom Brady diet I've read about so he can play into his 40s.
 
Dez Bryant made the Pro Bowl as a replacement for Julio Jones.
