"A spike as big as this provides more money to go around for the Dallas Cowboys. However, per overthecap.com, the Cowboys are currently $31.4M over the salary cap. They have many important free agents that are up for new contracts. Brandon Aubrey, George Pickens, and Javonte Williams are expected to get sizable new contracts after terrific seasons in Dallas. The Cowboys will have to make some financial decisions if they expect to keep Aubrey, Pickens, and Williams in town."
"One path they could go, and one they will surely take to some extent, is to restructure some contracts. That will open plenty of room under the salary cap. Another path is to cut some veterans who would save them money against the cap. Here are three veterans they could cut to make cap space. There is such a thing as too much of a good thing."
The NFL projects a 2026 salary cap between $301.2 million and $305.7 million, more than $20 million above 2025 and nearly $100 million above 2022. The Cowboys currently sit $31.4 million over the projected cap, creating immediate financial pressure. Brandon Aubrey, George Pickens, and Javonte Williams are expected to seek sizable new contracts after strong seasons. The team can restructure existing contracts to create short-term cap room or cut veteran players to generate savings. Recent roster moves, including acquiring Kenny Clark and later trading for Quinnen Williams, have reshaped interior defensive plans and cap planning.
