The Dallas Cowboys reworked Dak Prescott’s contract to get a little salary cap relief. According to ESPN’s Field Yates earlier today the Cowboys front office reworked Dak’s contract so that a $5 million roster bonus has been converted into a signing bonus to cutdown the 2024 cap hit by $4 million, to just over $55 million.

Will Stefon Diggs Be The Next Big D in Dallas Why should the Dallas Cowboys go after Stefon Diggs in free agency? For starters, two Diggs are always better than one! All joking aside there are plenty of other upsides. Getting the Cowboys over their almost three-decade post-season slump is going to take some bold moves.
