Cowboys: Dak, Scott, Zack, Martin; Cowboys: cap, space, free agency
including other actions, including negotiating a cap-helping extension for Dak Prescott, which appears to be in limbo right now, this move by the Cowboys was well-planned. (The new $255.4 slightly lessens the urgency.

Important to note: Martin’s contract can get a “void year” added as a result of the transaction. As a result, the debt that is “owed the cap” persists and is simply postponed until the piper receives payment.
