No, Dallas Cowboys fans, you are not dreaming. The team is actually getting important things done before the start of free agency. While it remains to be seen how “selectively aggressive” Dallas will be, they are setting the stage for a potentially energetic offseason.<\/p>\n
Extending Osa Odighizuwa to the tune of $80 million over four years\u00a0with $52 million guaranteed a week before free agency sends a message that the front office may actually mean business.<\/p>\n
While locking up Odighizuwa is a huge win, the Cowboys wasted no time pivoting to their next order of business: creating more cap room. They\u00a0quickly restructured the contract of CeeDee Lamb, which frees up $20 million on the cap that can be used to revamp a roster that needs a lot of work.<\/p>\n
It often gets overlooked that players themselves have to agree to a restructure. For Lamb, though, it was a no-brainer decision.<\/p>\n
A “fan” called Lamb out on social media for agreeing to rework his contract. While the particulars of the restructure have not been publicized,\u00a0Lamb only had one thing in mind\u00a0when Dallas approached him about the maneuver.<\/p>\n
