Dak will likely need to agree to this change because it is unlikely the Cowboys have the contract language that is standard in Browns contracts. This would make the contract the below.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"aligncenter figure\"><picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/s3media.247sports.com\/Uploads\/Assets\/632\/873\/12873632.png\" media=\"(max-width: 620px)\" \/><source srcset=\"https:\/\/s3media.247sports.com\/Uploads\/Assets\/632\/873\/12873632.png\" media=\"(min-width: 620px)\" \/><source srcset=\"https:\/\/s3media.247sports.com\/Uploads\/Assets\/632\/873\/12873632.png\" media=\"(min-width: 900px)\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/s3media.247sports.com\/Uploads\/Assets\/632\/873\/12873632.png\" srcset=\"https:\/\/s3media.247sports.com\/Uploads\/Assets\/632\/873\/12873632.png\" width=\"1200\" height=\"296\" data-src=\"https:\/\/s3media.247sports.com\/Uploads\/Assets\/632\/873\/12873632.png\" \/><\/picture><\/figure>\n<p>Trading for him will require some cap magic though because the Cleveland Browns don&#8217;t have $47.75m of cap space. They will likely need to get the Cowboys to change Dak&#8217;s contract so it has a roster bonus on the third day of the league year taking the base salary to the minimum. This way they only need $1.255m of cap space, they once they have Dak they can restructure his contract to the above to remain cap compliant.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"slide-ad\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"2582913\" class=\"slide-container active\">\n<div class=\"slide-meta\">\n<h2 class=\"slide-title\">The Dallas Cowboys Side<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"slide-content\">\n<p>When the Cowboys extended Dak last season they gave him an $80m signing bonus and this will mean they will take on a substantial amount of dead cap in this trade. While his extension was worth $60m a year we can see from what the Cleveland Browns would be taking on\u00a0$52.25m less than that over the four years because the Cowboys have front loaded the cash.<\/p>\n<p>The dead cap for the Cowboys would be\u00a0$103,216,667 in 2025 which is only slightly higher than his current cap number for 2025 of\u00a0$89,896,666. If this was the Cleveland Browns and many other teams they would be restructuring all of their big numbers to getting as much salary cap space to roll this over to future years or spend in free agency. Jerry Jones doesn&#8217;t appear to like spending money on his team and ranks 32nd on cash spending per the NFLPA\/Over The Cap over the last four years. This opens the door to make it slightly possible.<\/p>\n<p>If they were to do this trade they would need to be restructuring players like\u00a0CeeDee Lamb,\u00a0Terence Steele, Trevon Diggs,\u00a0Donovan Wilson,\u00a0Malik Hooker and\u00a0DaRon Bland. Extending\u00a0Micah Parsons to get his\u00a0cap number down. Plus stoping guys like\u00a0Zack Martin and Demarcus Lawrence from having their contracts void so their current dead cap can be spread out.<\/p>\n<p>Personally I think this is highly unlikely and the aim is probably to get Travis Hunter if Deion Sanders gets the job but you can never rule things like this out. It would potentially be one where you aren&#8217;t getting a crazy return on the picks to move from 2nd to 12th in the draft as the Cowboys are taking on so much dead cap having front loaded the extension.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>News overnight broke that Jerry Jones has spoken with Deion Sanders about the Cowboys job, so questions immediately come up regarding the availability of Dak Prescott.
