RB are not valued in that light. No surprised he returned what he did in a 2, 3, 4 which is good value for a RB coming off injuries.
As for Burns, they needed to have made a call on him in the 2023 off-season. Either they were keeping him long term or they should have shipped him off, not play out his 5th year option. We did hear about 2 first from the Rams, but those were to be in 24 and 25 and the GM at the time is no longer around to use them had he pulled the trigger anyways. Probably why GMs don't like to flip players for picks that far down the line. Just getting picks for someone else.
When teams let their 1st rounder play on the 5th year option, kind of the writing on the wall that they will not be keeping them. Wilkins for Miami is another one. Sweat as well on his 5th and was traded.

It may be overshadowed by the AD retirement...but the Los Angeles Rams signed a twenty-four-year-old safety from the Washington Commanders by the name of Kamren Curl at around midnight. Two-year deal for 8.75 million that can go up to 12.75 million. Versatile up-and-coming safety.

Yes, this gives them four QBs for now. But between undrafted free agents and camp cuts, who knows if Huntley will make it to the Browns practice squad or will be let go.

Restructure is a nice way of saying, the team is using cap space in future years for this season.
It's not a paycut which reduces the cap hit, it's just borrowing cap space from the future. I think Dak is due $34 mill in total compensation between salary/roster bonus for 2024. He could turn $21 mill into a bonus and push that out, depending on any void years they would need to add to it as he's entering the final year of his contract. If they add 2 void years, that's then pro-rating that $21 mill over 3 years, so they push $14 mill into the future, thus reducing his cap charge by $14 mill.
Dallas had to do something. They pushed $60 mill of prior cap hit into 2024 (and later) as he's a higher cap charge if cut then if he plays out the final year of his contract.

I **think** after seeing this. They don't plan on giving him an extension. Because realistically, they aren't signing anyone that's rather urgent right now that they couldn't wait to hammer out an extension with him
Dak's contract guarantees he can't be tagged. So, to him, whether the Cowboys call his $34 mill due to him base salary/roster bonus or a restructure, so long as he gets his $34 mill he won't care. But, he's not giving Dallas another year on the contract unless there is new guaranteed money.
His current dead cap charge, if he were to just play out this season as is, for 2025 is a whopping $40.5 mill. So, Dallas is prepared to add another 8 figures or whatever onto this number.
