owner Jerry Jones has exercised fiscal restraint over the last couple of years. Things are about to change in Dallas during the upcoming offseason. His check book is going to open wide.Jones announced his intention to give quarterback a new deal hours after a home lo s to the on "Monday Night Football'' earlier this month. The 2016 fourth-round pick becomes eligible for a contract extension once the regular season ends on December 30. Signing wide receiver , who was acquired from the for a 2019 first-round pick as the late October trading deadline approached, to a new contract reportedly is an offseason priority. Pro Bowl defensive end also has an expiring contract. More NFL The increased Serron Noel Women Jersey spending will be both by choice and out of nece sity. The Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) requires each team to spend 89 percent of the salary cap in cash over the four year period of 2017 through 2020. The Cowboys rank 31st in the NFL in spending during the 2017 and 2018 league years at just under $293.5 million according to NFLPA data. The $293.5 million has Dallas below the 89 percent threshold. Spending is 85.3 percent as the halfway mark of the period approaches. The league wide average for team spending in this period is close to 20 percent higher at nearly $350 million.Dallas is projected to have approximately $50 million of salary cap room next year a suming the 2019 salary cap is set in the $190 million neighborhood Aaron Ekblad Kids Jersey . This is using offseason cap accounting rules where only the top 51 cap numbers matter. Carrying over the almost $12.3 of existing cap space as well as the salaries for 2016 draft picks Prescott, defensive end and cornerback escalating to the lowest 2019 restricted free-agent tender, which should be slightly more than $2 million, have been factored into the equation. DAL QB #4 Jones has an uncanny knack for making gratuitous comments that could potentially cost him money. Curiously, Jones proclaimed prior to a game against the a couple of weeks ago that he wouldn't consider trading Prescott for two first round picks even if the top spot in the 2019 was included. Dallas doesn't have a 2019 first round pick because of the Cooper trade.I used to love to it when teams made statements about clients, like Jones', while I was an agent. I kept a file with extremely favorable comments to use at contract time. It was my equivalent of an unwritten or unspoken Miranda rule. As far as I was concerned, teams had the right to remain silent. Anything overly positive said would be used against them in negotiations. I suspect the same will occur with CAA Sports' Todd France, who is Prescott's agent. France also represents All-Pro defensive lineman and pa s rusher . Donald and Bosa have engaged in lengthy holdouts when their respective contract negotiations reached an impa se.Jones handed France a simple argument on a silver platter with the first round picks comment. France has justification to insist that cost of designating Prescott as a franchise player in 2020 is the appropriate starting point for negotiations because two first round picks is the compensation when a player on a non-exclusive franchise Jaromir Jagr Men Jersey tag signs an offer sheet with another team that isn't matched. The 2020 non-exclusive quarterback number projects to somewhere between $27 million and $27.5 million if the six to eight percent rate of growth in the salary cap from recent years continues. A second franchise tag in 2021 at a CBA mandated 20 percent increase over the 2020 franchise number would be upwards of $33 million. Considering Prescott's 2019 salary will be approximately $2 million thanks to earning the performance escalator available to third through seventh round picks in the final year of rookie contracts, a $62 million cash flow in the first three years (2019 through 2021) may be an important data point to France in a long term deal.It wouldn't be surprising for France to suggest that 2013 extension adjusted to a 2019 salary cap environment could also be a barometer for Prescott's deal since he took Romo's job away from him. Romo signed a signed a six-year, $108 million extension that made him the NFL's fourth highest player when the salary cap was $123 million. The deal had $55 million in guarantees where $40 million was fully guaranteed at signing.This type of approach would be ignoring that Romo was far more accomplished than Prescott is now when he signed his 2013 deal. If the 2019 salary cap is right around $190 million, an equivalent deal would average a little more than $27.775 million per year. It would have approximately $85 million in guarantees and slightly over $61.75 million fully guaranteed at signing. A contract at this level isn't warranted based on Prescott's body of work. Prescott's development has stalled since he was Alex Petrovic Women Jersey named the 2016 NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year after ending Romo's nearly decade long stranglehold on the Cowboys starting quarterback job while he was sidelined several weeks recovering from a back injury. As a rookie, Prescott had the NFL's fourth best completion rate at 67.8 percent and ranked third in league with a 104.9 pa ser rating. He threw 23 touchdown pa ses and just four interceptions. The Cowboys secured home field advantage in the NFC through the 2016 season playoffs by winning 13 games.Nobody is going to confuse Prescott with the game's top young pa sers, such as (Rams), ( ) and ( ). In the 27 games since Prescott's rookie year, he has completed 63.8 percent of pa ses (20th in the NFL) for 5,751 yards (18th) with 35 touchdowns (18th) and 18 interceptions (13th most) to post an 89.3 pa ser rating (20th).Prescott when asked about his next contract during the offseason indicated he was willing to be flexible if it allowed the Cowboys to keep other core players. It's hard to imagine France giving the Cowboys any type of break on a contract without Prescott's insistence. Prescott not having made any significant NFL money could cut in Jones' favor. His career earnings from his NFL contract after this season will be just over $2 million. CLE WR #2 Cooper has had an instant impact on the Cowboys while getting acclimated to a new offense in his four games since the trade. He has 22 receptions, 349 yards and three touchdowns with the Cowboys. Dallas is on a three-game winning streak, which will be put to the test against the 10-1 on Thursday night, to raise their record to 6-5 and now control their own destiny in a weak NFC East.Cooper is the legitimate receiving threat Prescott had been sorely mi sing this season. His presence has Brett Connolly Men Jersey helped changed the way the opposition defends the Cowboys. It isn't a coincidence that All-Pro running back has topped 120 rushing yards in each of the last three games, which is something he hasn't done since early in the 2016 season as a rookie.Jones declared Cooper was "making a bid for his cash" after catching eight pa ses for 180 yards and scoring two touchdowns against
