While writing the series on down roster battles, I had the chance to look at the contracts of many of the players on the bubble. Often, a player’s contract tended to dictate whether he was likely to remain with the team, or was eligible for some roster trimming. Let’s revisit the issue and identify if there are any less-than-essential players who might allow Dallas to save money for future contracts of stars like Zack Martin, Dak Prescott, Ezekiel Elliott, and others. Some of those guys might be several years off from renewal, but since unused cap money carries over to the following year, it never hurts to save in the present as long as it won’t hurt the team’s performance.
