Cowboys roster 201610/2/2023 They could create about $6 million in room with him. Bryant’s contract should only be restructured if an absolute necessity to sign someone. Romo’s contract is a nightmare and while he is still a terrific quarterback there has to be concerns about how his body holds up in the future…Bryant already received a massive signing bonus and adding another large prorated bonus will put Bryant in a category where if his play were to decline the Cowboys would be in a major bind. This will create nearly $7.4 million in cap room, which is more than sufficient to operate for the year…There will be talk given to doing something similar with Dez Bryant and Tony Romo but Dallas should avoid the temptation on both, especially Romo. This is one of the most team friendly contracts in the NFL and Dallas could probably convert the next two year’s salary to bonus money and it would still remain one of the most team friendly deals. The first step to gaining some additional flexibility with their salary cap will come by restructuring the contract of left tackle Tyron Smith. They would be better off bringing back DeMarcus Ware for a year than going long term on Hardy…Matt Cassel was terrible as a fill in for Romo and should not be considered as a backup next year…Dallas is already heavily invested in the offensive line and I’m not sure they can sink another $2 million or so into the unit with Mackenzy Bernadeau…Jeremy Mincey should be able to be replaced by someone younger. Dallas made a mistake signing him to the large salaried contract that ate away at a lot of the cap flexibility the team had gained in the prior few seasons. Hardy brings potential problems to the locker room and is certainly going to get negative coverage from the press. I would let Greg Hardy go despite the talent that he has. Dunbar, if he can stay healthy, can be a very effective special team player and 3 rd down running back. The Cowboys declined the option on cornerback Morris Claiborne, but they could decide to bring him back on a one year contract if they part ways with Brandon Carr…I can’t see much interest around the NFL in Rolando McClain, so the Cowboys should be able to retain him on a similar one year contract as the one he signed last season…I would take the chance on bringing back Lance Dunbar since he would be a cheap option. Unrestricted Free Agents: 16(4 with 50%+ playtime) Current Estimated 2016 Cap Space: $10.2 million
