Green Bay Packers May Benefit From Dallas Cowboys’ Huge Mistake (Report).The Green Bay Packers and Dallas Cowboys will go into the 2024 season with similar expectations. The Packers are expecting to cement themselves as Super Bowl contenders in the NFC. The Cowboys seem to be contenders every year lately, however, they continue to fall short in the playoffs.
The Green Bay Packers Could Get Huge Boost From Dallas Cowboys Mistake
According to Anthony Palacios of Last Word On Sports:
NFC Contender the Dallas Cowboys may shockingly cut $39 million playmaker wide receiver Brandin Cooks this offseason.
According to a report, it suggests that America’s team may have to cut or trade the veteran amid their contractual negotiations. The team is in a sticky situation so shedding off some salary by making this move would come with sacrifice to keep Dak Prescott and CeeDee Lamb. However, Cooks hasn’t been as productive as they were hoping last season.
Lamb and Prescott are entering the final year of their contracts, carrying a $55.45 million cap hit for 2024. Time is ticking for the Cowboys to create some magic in saving space to give them new deals.
They’re hoping neither player will hold out this year since they’ll be looking for a new contract before playing their final season. If so, this could force the Cowboys’ hand to make some fast moves to save space, which could include cutting or trading Cooks.
Micah Parsons is also eligible for an extension this year but he isn’t in a rush to get it despite missing the first day of OTA’s.
The Cowboys only have $1.925 million in cap space so they may have to make some difficult that could raise some eyebrows. Bleacher Report suggests that a trade or release is the best step to manage their payroll in a move they can’t afford.
