The Cowboys Have $9 Million in Dead Money Against 2021 Salary Cap + Dak vs Stafford Talk etc..

<p>The 2021 offseason is going to be hard to manage with a projected lower salary cap due to revenue losses during the pandemic. In addition to a reduced pool of funds to work with, the Dallas Cowboys will also be carrying $9 million in “dead money” against its cap from some of their 2020 roster moves. &nbsp;This $9 million mostly comes from the untimely retirement of Center Travis Frederick last March. With $11 million in dead money remaining on Frederick’s contract, Dallas chose to split that over two seasons by delaying his official removal from the team until after June 1st. &nbsp;Even when a player voluntarily retires, as opposed to being released, the effect on the salary cap is the same as if he were cut. &nbsp;Travis Frederick announced in March he would retire. For salary cap reasons, Cowboys waited until after June 1 to process the transaction. Retirement could have created $11.04M in dead money vs. 2020 cap. Instead, he’ll count $4.975M this year and $6.065M in 2021. -https://twitter.com/GehlkenNFL</p> <p>Click here for the video: https://youtu.be/gmA-AG-_jX4</p>
