It’s business as usual at The Star in Frisco, as the Cowboys are well into their first week of real football prep, with the regular-season opener set to kick off this Sunday night.
But the business side of the game never stops in the front office, and the Cowboys brass has done a little bookkeeping to tidy up the financial ledger.
Defensive tackle Neville Gallimore has agreed to a restructuring of his contract to free up valuable cap space, according to ESPN’s Todd Archer.
The 26-year-old Oklahoma product will see his 2023 base salary drop from $2.7 million to $1.5 million, but he’ll be able to earn back $750,000 through various incentives.
The Cowboys re-worked the contract of DT Neville Gallimore, per source, creating some cap room. His salary went from $2.7m to $1.5m and he can earn back $750k. Since Gallimore played at least 35% of snaps in 2 of his 3 years, he had earned a proven-performance escalator for ‘23.

Gallimore was a third-round pick in 2020’s draft and has appeared in 35 games for the Cowboys, compiling 74 tackles, three sacks, nine tackles for loss, seven quarterback hits, and two passes defended.

The restructuring is the latest accounting move by Dallas as they prepare for several big-money contracts the club has said are on their upcoming radar, including those of wide receiver CeeDee Lamb, quarterback Dak Prescott, and linebacker Micah Parsons.
