The Facts: Cowboys fans are highly aware of the “cap hell” accusations hurled annually in the direction of team owner Jerry Jones’ club. Prescott’s new $160 million deal, signed last spring, is part of the “problem” as presently constructed. But team sources tell CowboysSI.com that part of the construction of the deal, when executed, will give Dallas about $16 million in 2022 cap relief.

Diehards Line: This is a common bit of craftsmanship as performed by COO Stephen Jones’ “big calculator” people here inside team headquarters. It is a pre-designed “switch” that can (will) be “flipped.” It requires no renegotiation with Prescott. It requires no sacrifice from Prescott. It requires no approval from Prescott. It’s already approved.
