If Spencer is willing to come back on a 1 year deal, it makes me wonder if the Cowboys would use the franchise tag on Hatcher this year and keep them both. I know the Cowboys are in cap Hell, but I read that they would be able to get under the cap by redoing the Romo, Ware and Carr deals and doing something with Austins contract. Do you think that is remotely possible?
Not possible for both. If you keep Spencer for one year there is no way to be creative with his contract from a cap perspective. So whatever you pay him hits the 2014 cap. So if you add in Hatcher being tagged which also would 100% hit next years cap you break what is already a strained cap budget. It may appear on the surface a smart move, but our cap problem in 2014 makes it a non-starter
