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

[DFWJC]

Not the same , I know, but the 14/year ave closer to the 12.8 tag than the Calvin 16/year ave

The 45 guaranteed is key and really nice for Dez

Not perfect for either side, but also good enough for both.
That's how a good negotation should be.

btw...mostly luck, but this is almost identical to what I said it'd be about 3 months ago.
But yes, pretty much a lucky guess.

Thanks, maybe it's on my end but I'm still not getting the video feed to load on the live podcast?!
Trouble for Anyone else?

I get a commercial then video no available...

Really suspicious that 2 deals got done as a deadline approached. Except that its not. Do you think the teams were actually worried about the bs collusion threat?

Earned all that guaranteed money too, good for him

 

[erod]

Yup

Dez won this one - but not in the way most folks think. We likely would have preferred 7 years. Dez now potentially is looking at a 3rd deal at 31. I think we'd have happily gone 7-100 mill here.

im just sooooo happy you guys! good work by all.

 

[LittleBoyBlue]

He gave us a discount, good for him....

He only really cared about guaranteed money.

I think he squeezed out every penny until deadline.

He knew what the yearly money would be... He wasn't worried.


Damn... I wish I could run and catch and..... Well... You get it.... Lol

It's pretty apparent that the Cowboys blinked on this one.

Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! I can finally stop worrying about this!

 

[JohnnyHopkins]

Five more years of not changing my sig!

 

[THEHEREAFTER]

This just had to happen! Big time shot in the arm going into TC!

I dont think so, I think they are protecting themselves. They no Romo wont be here at the end of the deal, so they are thinking that Dez can help a new QB adjust easier then if hes not here and they cn re-sign him then

I cant wait to see Dez vs Jones, that kid is going to be baptised by FIRE this TC. I CANT WAIT

Charlotte, the closer

That room is looking really dated. Look at the ceiling, that's Jerry Jones office?

Focusing on the important stuff over here. Keeping it real.

That's not what has been reported.

It is staggered over 2 years and has outs for arrests and suspensions.

two years? Naw, it looks like he gets the other half at the beginning of the league year in 2016. That's not a full year away.
