FRISCO, Texas -- When Dallas Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones spoke about the 2025 salary cap last week at the NFL's winter meetings at the Four Seasons Resort and Club at Las Colinas in Irving, Texas, fans were sent into a panic.
"I think we knew we were going to have a challenge this year and next year," Jones said. "That [the salary cap] was going to be really tight. Because we still have some money left over from some guys who aren't here today, and you're going to have some other guys that won't be here in the future that you still got a cap count [on].
