**FRISCO, Texas --** The Cowboys have officially restructured the contracts of QB Dak Prescott and OL Tyler Smith, creating approximately $47 million in cap space ahead of the beginning of free agency next week.
Dallas is also expected to restructure CeeDee Lamb's contract in the near future as well, which would bring the total created cap space up to around $66 million. Cowboys owner/GM Jerry Jones additionally said that the team will also look into the contracts of their three defensive tackles, Quinnen Williams, Kenny Clark and Osa Odighizuwa, which will free up additional space as well.
At the NFL Combine in Indianapolis last week, Jones said he "would bet that we will spend more money in free agency than we have." These contract restructures were expected, and begin to give the Cowboys room to be able to spend that money on experienced players in free agency.
"The only way to push more is for me to go borrow some of my future. Expect me to go borrow some of my future…" Jones said. "I want to do everything we possibly can to stop somebody and to basically win some third downs more than we did last year. So I think that would be the area that you would see me bust the budget."
