Florio is CONSISTENTLY and COMPLETELY out of touch with the realities of the salary cap. I can't tell you how many times the dude has suggested a scenario that is completely impossible because of a team's salary cap situation.

He has done it again. Dallas currently has $19.1M in cap space. They'll need a chunk of that for rookies. Even if they get rid of Bryant which would save $8M, they would still find themselves with only $27M in cap space.

Signing Cousins would take up almost all of that. They'd be down Bryant, and would have to make even more cuts just to afford their own rookies.

Doing so would mean they'd lose every one of their own free agents, including stud DeMarcus Lawrence. It's not going to happen. The Cowboys are much more likely to make roster moves like cutting Bryant so they can franchise tag DeMarcus Lawrence.

Florio's an idiot. He's ignores the realities of the salary cap for the sake of saying something that will get clicks.
