Cowboys could be cooking up something special after another contract restructure

Earlier this week, the Dallas Cowboys raised a few eyebrows when it was announced that the team was restructuring the contract of wide receiver CeeDee Lamb.

Now, that doesn't mean that Lamb is taking less money, but rather, the franchise is turning a portion of his contract into a bonus while securing more cap space.

It appears Lamb will not be the only player restructuring their contract this offseason. ESPN NFL Nation reporter Todd Archer is reporting that the franchise has restructured quarterback Dak Prescott's contract.

The Cowboys have restructured Dak Prescott's contract, opening up $36.6 million in cap space, per source. That's $56.6 million created in the last two days with the CeeDee Lamb move, too.

According to Archer, the team opened up $36.6 million in cap space with this move, and over $56.6 million in cap space if you add the move to restructure Lamb's deal.

The team is making a lot of moves to secure more cap space, which begs the question: What do they plan on doing?

The obvious answer would be getting the funds to make Micah Parsons the richest defensive player in the league.

However, could the team also be looking to make a massive splash in free agency? The Cowboys are taking note of what went wrong last season and are getting deals done early this year.

The team announced a massive extension for defensive anchor Osa Odighizuwa and now appears to be ready to make another move.
