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

[Craig]

Why are you guys bringing up a completely moot point? You trying to vicariously not be worried about it for them? Seeing how the lawsuit at Apple turned out in court I would see the NFL as usual having very little room to stand on if there was indeed proof of teams sharing negotiating terms.

If you think it's unfair that players can do it and teams cannot then you are ready to hail your corporate overlords when the time comes.

You were quoting one person so there is no "you guys", and i think it may have been the wrong post given what you wrote.

The Eugene Parker deal was for nine years and $30 million guaranteed.

The Cowboys blinked.

I think that collusion case scared the crap out of them. Guilty or not, they didn't want to take the stand on that.

Geezus, dude.

 

[Nightman]

It isn't an outrageous deal. The original offer was obviously a calculatid starting point

Exactly. You start low and go higher. Basic stuff.

How is Jerry not in town for this?

He's is in New York so maybe he's rubbing it in Mara's face.

The size of his hands is unreal. he looks likes he could crush that helmet or at the very least palm it

 

[MrPeanutbutter]

anyone got any idea how Dez's contract affects the cap this year or next.....will it impact signing Crawford or Hardy next year?

I think we all need to accept Hardy is likely a rental.

Turns out, the Death Star looks like this tonight.....

 

[WoodysGirl]

Over 2 league years. That is a huge distinction. He has to play a full season and that was the holdup.

That's not all that big of a distinction. But how do you know this was a hold up?

 

[Boyzmamacita]

Is that Charlotte with Dez?

Yes.

His hit this year and next will be considerably less than if he had played on the franchise tag both years.

Not to mention that Dallas can now use next year's franchise tag on someone else if they wish.

He's wearing his cap backwards. That can't be good.

Speculate much?

 

[tyke1doe]

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

Place his guaranteed money in safe investments, and he doesn't have to work another day in his life. Provided he can keep the sharks and leeches at bay.

There are all manner of people talking about the collusion angle as if it was meaningful one way or another.

You betcha! After Houston's deal, and if Hardy can get 12 sacks or so, he might get a gazillion dollar contract!
