The Dallas Cowboys have recently restructured contracts for defensive tackle Kenny Clark, cornerback DaRon Bland, and tight end Jake Ferguson, resulting in an increase of $19 million in cap space. This brings their total cap space to approximately $33.2 million, with some estimates suggesting it could reach $34.8 million.

This financial flexibility may open doors for potential trades as the season progresses, although NFL Network's Jane Slater has reported that the team is not currently preparing for immediate trades. Nick Harris from the Fort Worth Star-Telegram noted that any significant trades might occur closer to the deadline, depending on the circumstances.

Additionally, ESPN's Todd Archer highlighted that any unused cap space can be carried over into the 2027 season, allowing for strategic planning. Speculation surrounds a possible trade for Raiders' Maxx Crosby, but such a move seems unlikely at this time. Overall, the Cowboys' recent contract adjustments have provided them with substantial options moving forward in the season.
