Cowboys convert Gallup's salary,
create roughly $7.4 million in cap space
https://cowboyswire.usatoday.com/2023/03/13/michael-gallup-restructure/
---

... the Cowboys will create roughly $7.4 million
in cap space, just as the official start to free
agency is set to begin.

The new Gallup numbers should now give the
Cowboys nearly $22 million in usable cap space,
with more conversions likely to come.

Previous post, I made a mistake on Michael
Gallup's 2023 salary cap figure, fixed below,
he's now the 9th highest cap figure in 2023.

The Cowboys re-signings of Donovan Wilson
& Leighton Vander Esch, their 2023 cap amounts
don't place them among the top 14 in 2023 cap
amounts on the Cowboys.

Stephon Gilmore's 2023 cap amount has him at
spot 7th on the Cowboys 2023 cap amounts:

Well overthecap is still showing Zeke's 2023
salary cap amount as over $16 million at his
player page -but- it's showing the Cowboys
cap space available going up to $13,549,745,
so for reasons unknown they're now showing
the Cowboys having the 16th-largest salary ...

... cap available. I just don't get it - maybe
they'll show Zeke's new salary cap amount
at his player page tomorrow, maybe not, I
simply don't understand how the NFL's sal-
ary cap works, sometimes it's comprehen-
sible, all-too-often it's not, & one needs a ...

... Certified Public Accountant to try to fig-
ure out what's actually going on.

Follow-up: Well, after posting the previous, I dis-
covered DeMarcus Lawrence's high 2023 salary
cap had been reduced & Tyron Smith's high 2023
salary cap is in the process of being reduced. So,
after Tyron's restructure is finalized, I'll update the
previous post with the new figures.

So, overnight, Tyron's restructure was finalized, &
DeMarcus Lawence & Tyron Smith's updated sal-
ary cap amounts are included below. Ezekiel's
cap lowering will transpire on June 1, & various
articles state it will reduce his cap hit by slightly
over $5 million:
