3 Cowboys most likely to have their contract restructured to save cap space

2. CB Trevon Diggs

Though both are proven superstars, Trevon Diggs got his extension before CeeDee Lamb because he was a second-round pick. If the Cowboys didn't extend him last summer, they'd be forced to get a deal done before free agency. At that point, Diggs might've elected free agency to drive up his market.

The Cowboys gave Diggs a five-year, $97 million deal, including a $21.25 million signing bonus and $42.304 million guaranteed. That extension kicks in next season, so Diggs will count nearly $15.4 million against the salary cap. That's a lofty number and is the fifth-highest on the team, per Over The Cap.

Restructuring Diggs' contract would save $7.9 million on the cap. Diggs deserves every penny he receives from the Cowboys. He might just have to receive it differently, whether it be via a signing bonus or guaranteeing his base salary.

It's not like Diggs is going anywhere. He's a franchise cornerstone and will hopefully sign a second contract with the team. His cap hit isn't crippling but tinkering with his deal is an easy call for a front office that seems to be all-in.
