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

[Hoofbite]

Mickey mentioned the base and cap hit, thought he said $7 million but I am not sure, I can not remember to be honest, anyone have the details for the 2015 season?

$7M sounds right. $4M in the form of his SB proration and $3M from his base salaries.

 

[Frozen700]

So the Terence Williams as the lead WR era is officially over!!

 

[Nightman]

If they're fully guaranteeing his 2015 salary of $3 million, they could spread that over the 5 years, resulting in a $4.6 million cap hit in 2015. Has it actually been reported that the 2015 base is fully guaranteed?

Spotrac is reporting a 20m signing bonus and a 3m base salary for 2015. That would be a 7m cap hit, down from 12.8m

Then 22m more is guaranteed come March 2016, but the rest of the base salaries haven't been reported

But that would leave 47m for the final 4 years so maybe- 8m, 10m, 13m, 16m or 10m, 11m, 12m, 14m

Charlotte has better looking arms then Dez!!! What a fox!

Sorry, but if you look at her and don't see Jerry Jones and still think she is hot. Well, more power to you.

 

[DandyDon52]

If it's anything like they've done in the past, the $22M in guarantee is going to probably going to be 2016 and 2017 base salaries. Maybe a $15M base in 2016 that they'll restructure

 

[LittleBoyBlue]

So how will this playout?

Do it again in 3 years?
4 years?

He plays full 5 years... Then does another deal?

 

[punchnjudy]

I predict a lot of running back threads tomorrow.

 

[LittleBoyBlue]

I just have the feeling that this is gonna be the year.

That's a good feeling. Go with it. I am.

I just told two stealer fans to "get mad now" we are winning sb50.

 

[CCBoy]

Kristie, fun day, huh...

and we don't have to listen to a dozen media types complaining about absurdity of the Cowboys. Only some high arched fans doing that here.

Me, I'm very glad it is done and the team can start some very serious work through Training Camp.

I like the 15m restructure with 1-2 voidable years added, but it might just be 10m in 2016 and 12m in 2017(That would leave 12m for 2018 and 13m for 2019)

45m covers a little over 3 years, so probably an extension or re-do in before 2018.

I would hope they don't restructure. Doesn't make a lot of sense to be concerned about his off the field stuff and then increase the cap hit if those concerns actually came to fruition.

Cowboys win the next two super bowls, Romo retires.

After that dunno, don't care

Didnt either until after the catch, pissed me off more

 

[Frozen700]

Murray is an average bum who had a future hall of fame O line, and who kept putting ball on the ground

 

[Garrettop]

I can deal with Romo going out like Elway.

The 20m signing bonus coupled with the large guarantees mean DAL is severely exposed early on.

Unless the rumors about disappearing guarantees for off-field violations are true.

The money is already guaranteed, spreading it over 7 years is better than 5, but that is our eternal debate.
