The Cowboys traded for Packers edge rusher Rashan Gary, who restructured his contract to reduce his 2026-2027 compensation to $16MM with a $13.2MM signing bonus.
A Dak Prescott contract restructure would not mean he's taking less money. Most NFL contracts allow teams to convert base salary into a signing bonus at their discretion. That signing bonus is then prorated over the remaining years of the contract for cap purposes. Dak gets his cash, but the accounting changes. I want this to be a point of emphasis because some fans think the quarterback has to agree to sacrifice money. In a standard restructure, that's not the case.
