This is what happens when QBs demand top dollar. It's also what happens when inept personnel decisions result in top dollar contracts for positions that should not get top dollar contracts, i.e. RB and average LBs (one in this group was released a short time ago). Some big decisions looming in 2022 and beyond.

With cap issues looming in 2022, Dallas Cowboys need to win now
Next year’s cap is set to be $208 million. At present, the Cowboys can carry over roughly $3.5 million of 2021 cap space to their 2022 cap, bumping their figure to $211.5 million.
According to Roster Management System, the Cowboys' cap value next year is already $217.7 million with 43 players under contract. They will also have at least $6.86 million in dead money, accounting for players no longer on the roster. The top 10 salary-cap figures on the Cowboys’ roster for next year total, $171.96 million, led by quarterback Dak Prescott's $34.45 million cap number.
That’s gonna be pretty rough for them.
