The front office of the Dallas Cowboys have just freed up cap space by converting some of Tyron Smith’s 2020 base salary into bonus money. Entering the season, Smith had a $10 million base salary and a total cap hit of $13.5 million. Prior to this restructure, the 29-year-old left tackle only had $5.2 million left from previous restructures that has yet to be accounted for. That money would’ve come off the books after the 2021 season, meaning Smith’s final two years of his contract would’ve been free of restructure money and come with no dead money hit should the Cowboys suddenly decide to part ways with him.
