In a salary cap world, simple truths aren’t always what they seem. If Dak Prescott grows as a quarterback and continues to be good, it’s great for the Cowboys. But if he becomes great, can the Cowboys still be good?
What seems like the obvious answer -- yes, of course -- gets convoluted as Prescott’s salary escalates and other Pro Bowl players sign new deals. On Friday came the announcement that DeMarcus Lawrence had landed $65 million in guarantees over the next three season. No matter how it’s sliced, those will be some large salary cap numbers.
