With all this money flowing...

[Evil Hurney]

Played a few tricks with the Johnson and Williams deals, hence why the signing bonus was so high. CJ will probably cost the team around 7 million this season.

It really depends on the structure, signing bonuses spread evenly over the contract, so those big ones hurt regardless. Also, there are conflicting reports on CJ's contract.

Mare and Kasey essentially wash out. I had nothing to go on for Davis so I just assumed Anderson, since it was more than the vet min. Either way I think Davis saves us money this season.

I never found anything conclusive, so i took worse case and assumed it wasn't included. However, if that's true then we have loads of cap room once Kalil restructures.

Do you have any links for these. They don't sound familiar.

On the dead money, anyone cut before the Lockout started featuring dead money (signing bonus...ext) won't be counted at all. Cut players after the lockout ending will count next season, not this one.

The bad news of the Cowboys releasing Columbo, Davis, R. Williams, K. Brown and M Barber, they have $20.9 of dead money in2012 #nfl #cowboys

To clarify, June 1 rule applies: releases are pure savings to teams, "dead money" pushed to 2012. Result: NFL teams will spend more.

Also I did find that the 73 million number didn't include Kalil's franchise tag.
