Cowboys set to lose $16.4 million in future cap space Tuesday thanks to accounting quirk - K.D. Drummond, Cowboys Wire
Some interesting accounting rules around Zack Martin’s retirement.
Dak Prescott ($60 million per year), CeeDee Lamb ($34 million per year) and Micah Parsons ($24 million salary in 2025) are three of the best compensated players in the game. However Dallas still has over $31 million in money they could either spend on extensions or new players this year, or roll over into 2026. On Tuesday, however, that 2026 cap hit is going to take a serious blow thanks to a decision made way back in July 2023.
That’s when future Hall of Famer Zack Martin decided he was going to hold out from training camp. Looking to secure his future, the then eight-time All-Pro and eight-time Pro Bowler didn’t report to Oxnard, CA on time. He and the team eventually agreed to a two-year rework that gave him a $5.35 million raise that season and a fully guaranteed $18 million salary for 2024.
