The Dallas Cowboys are entering the 2023 NFL season with a fair amount of cap space. After the initial roster was set on Tuesday, the regular season rules of cap calculations went into effect. All 53 players who made the club are fully counted, and players who had guaranteed money in their deals but were cut now appear on the dead money ledger. Dallas enters Week 1 of the season with $7.7 million in space, the ninth-most in the NFL.
This gives them several options they can employ. For one, they have the ability to offer extensions to current players who have low cap hits. They also can swing in-season trades or free-agent signings should holes in the armor appear either through attrition or lack of performance. Finally, the can also just hold onto the money and roll it over into the 2024 cap.
