_The restructuring of Dak Prescott and CeeDee Lamb's contracts opened up a lot of salary cap space. Any Micah Parson deal would free up even more space. What good is all this cap space if they're not bringing in top-tier talent? Seems as though kicking dead money down the road will be a bigger headache**. Why restructure these contracts if they weren't going to spend the money?**_– Jamal Wynn /New Castle, DE\*\*
**Tommy:** Well, they are going to spend the money, they just haven't yet. I think that salary cap room was made available so that the Cowboys can do what they've done for years: Take care of their own. Think about the players that have extensions coming up in the near future: Micah Parsons, Tyler Smith, DaRonBland.
They needed the space to be able to fit those contracts in, and those restructures help them be able to afford that. Plus, you add in the Osa Odighizuwa deal as well as the other additions they've made in free agency, and they're able to have the flexibility to spend how they're wanting to spent, although it may not be the big money splashes that some may be hoping for.
