Cowboys restructure three player contracts to clear salary cap space

The Dallas Cowboys have restructured the contracts of three key players to gain more than $19 million in salary cap room ahead of the regular season. The team adjusted the deals for defensive tackle Kenny Clark, cornerback DaRon Bland, and tight end Jake Ferguson. This financial maneuvering brings the team's total available spending room to more than $30 million. The Cowboys previously held approximately $14.2 million in cap space. This increased flexibility provides the organization with the necessary funds to potentially acquire veteran players via trade. Speculation has emerged regarding Raiders defensive end Maxx Crosby, whose 2026 base salary matches the amount now available to the club.
