The NFL has a salary cap issue. Thanks to the loss of in-stadium revenue, the cap figure is expected to go down from last year’s all-time high of $198 million per team. While the final figure is still to be determined for 2021, the league and players did agree that $175 million was going to be a floor. There is some hope that the figure may be higher, with $195 millions being given as a best case scenario. Still, this creates some accounting issues for a team like the Dallas Cowboys.
Based on the minimum figure, they currently have a bit below $24 million in cap space at the moment. That is actually better than most teams, with eleven teams currently having more cap obligations than that. Even if the final figure was $195 million, the Philadelphia Eagles and New Orleans Saints would still have to shed tens of millions in cap obligations.

Elliott, Cowboys still have hope in star RB’s rough season

The star Dallas running back kept his spirits up all season at least in virtual visits with reporters and his second 100-yard game of the year helped keep the Cowboys alive in the playoff race going into the final weekend.
I told you so? Maybe a little, and Elliott doesn’t really concern himself with the reality that none of this would be possible without Dallas being in the NFL’s worst division, which will put a losing team in the postseason.

FRISCO, Texas – With heavy rain in the local forecast, the Cowboys practiced Thursday in shells inside Ford Center at The Star in Frisco.
The following is from the open portion of practice:
The roll-up doors in the north end zone were raised to make it colder in Ford Center, presumably to mimic the temperature the team will encounter at MetLife Stadium on Sunday.
Active roster players not on the field: LB Leighton Vander Esch (ankle), S Darian Thompson (concussion protocol), CB Rashard Robinson (knee), S Donovan Wilson (illness).
S Xavier Woods (ribs) was participating in individual drills.
