News: PFT: Dez Bryant gets five years, $70 million from Cowboys

[Nightman]

Why are people happy about only 5 years???

More years only helps DAL, the guarantees are long gone at that point

I love it. cowboys keep a great player. and Dez get's the money he earned and deserves. win for both sides. hats off to Jerry for getting this done. i think he push his son Stephen to the side. and got this deal done himself. i am a happy cowboys fan today.

I think this deal has Stephen's signature all over it.

14 mil per year
45 guaranteed


I was close. Lol

I like 5 better than 7 years anyway... But it really doesn't matter

That's a fair deal for both sides. i am glade Dez got paid. and glade the cowboys kept a great player.

Because of how they worked it. He gets a lot of money up front and helps give us cap space NOW. Also free's up money in the next few years to lock up other guys. Worked out for both parties

Nothing like 100% pure speculation to make a thread interesting.

Jerry would have given him 10 years with 75 guaranteed and thought he had him under wraps till he was almost 40.

 

[erod]

Sounds like the $45 million is fully guaranteed.

That's Jerry's doing, I'm sure.
