The Dallas Cowboys have recently restructured contracts for defensive tackle Kenny Clark, cornerback DaRon Bland, and tight end Jake Ferguson, resulting in an increase of $19 million in cap space. Before these changes, the team had approximately $14.2 million available, but their total cap space is now estimated to be around $33.2 million, with some reports suggesting it could reach as high as $34.8 million.
This substantial rise in cap space enhances the Cowboys' position for potential trades as the season progresses. Despite this flexibility, NFL Network's Jane Slater has indicated that the team is not currently planning any immediate trades. Nick Harris from the Fort Worth Star-Telegram also noted that significant trades may be more likely as the deadline approaches.
Additionally, ESPN's Todd Archer mentioned that any unused cap space can be carried over into the 2027 season, allowing for strategic future planning. Speculation among fans includes a possible trade for Raiders' Maxx Crosby, although such a move seems unlikely at this time. Overall, the Cowboys' recent financial adjustments provide them with various options as the season continues.
