Week 1 vs. NYG
Date published: Sept. 6, 2019

Prior to this game: Cowboys made two big salary cap moves, signing Zeke and La'el Collins.
Zeke: 6/90mil
La'el: 5/50 mil

"The modern Cowboys seem to have learned that the best way to retain your best talent rarely involves restructuring deals. Pay the piper when they are great and get the guaranteed money accounted for while they’re worth it. Then, if the player diminishes, the contract is no longer guaranteed on the back half. I believe we will see the Cowboys say goodbye to some familiar names if they are no longer worth their annual number without suffering dead-money ramifications."

NFL LOVES putting Dallas and NYG on opening night, it really sets the table for their ratings.
