DMN Blog: Ken Hamlin deal saves cap room (2.3 million)
by Todd Archer
Sorry the delay in getting more information to he blog, but I had to make some phone calls to the parties involved to find out what was going on. We'll have more from Hamlin in a little bit.
Hamlin signed (key word) the deal around 1:30 p.m. Anyway, Hamlin's cap number this year is now $2.105 million, which saves them roughly $2.3 million against this year's cap. With the franchise tag, he was counting $4.396 million.
So as it stands, the Cowboys have more than $10 million in cap room but have to sign their six draft picks. They have plenty of room to do whatever they want this year, either signing DeMarcus Ware or Chris Canty (or both) to deals, but the problem is the future structure of contracts with the change in when the 30 percent rule takes place.
