The Cowboys freed up some salary cap space this week.
The Dallas Cowboys have been busy securing long-term deals with Dak Prescott and his biggest weapon, CeeDee Lamb. That also added more salary cap space for Dallas, and they put more into that pot on Tuesday. Per Todd Archer of ESPN, the Cowboys have reworked the deal of right tackle Terence Steele to give the team $4.5 million in additional cap space.

Dallas has some prime-time players who will be up for new deals soon. Most noticeably, of course, is All-Pro edge Micah Parsons. There’s also cornerback DaRon Bland as well, who has risen to All-Pro status himself. So, the Cowboys need all the extra funds they can get.
The Cowboys could carry that money over to 2025, or they could use some of that extra money to possibly look at another veteran if they feel there are still some holes on the roster. Nonetheless, Dallas is certainly planning for the future with this move.
