Dallas Cowboys Restructure Contracts to Create $56.6M in Cap Space

Moves by Dak Prescott and CeeDee Lamb free up funds for potential Micah Parsons extension and other roster improvements.

The Dallas Cowboys restructured quarterback Dak Prescott's contract, converting $45.75 million of his 2025 salary into a signing bonus, creating $36.6 million in cap space.
Wide receiver CeeDee Lamb also reworked his deal, freeing up an additional $20 million in cap space, as part of efforts to strengthen the team.
These moves come as the Cowboys aim to secure a long-term extension for star pass rusher Micah Parsons, who is entering the final year of his rookie contract.
Prescott, recovering from a season-ending injury in 2024, will play under new head coach Brian Schottenheimer in the 2025 season.
The Cowboys are positioning themselves to address key roster needs and end their 30-year Super Bowl drought.
