Dak Prescott, Zack Martin Redo Contracts

The Dallas Cowboys reportedly created nearly $30 million in salary cap space Friday through the restructuring of contracts.

According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, the Cowboys converted parts of quarterback Dak Prescott and guard Zack Martin’s deals to make the cap space.

Per Spotrac, the Cowboys were an estimated $18.7 million over the salary cap prior to the new agreements with Prescott and Martin.

Although they reached the playoffs for a second consecutive season, and won a playoff game last season, it was still a disappointing campaign overall for the Cowboys.

Dallas entered the 2022 season as the favorite to win the NFC East and a top contender for represent the NFC in the Super Bowl, but they were surpassed by the Philadelphia Eagles, who won the NFC East with a 14-3 record and reached the Super Bowl as well.
