Dez heads to VR to Possibly Sign Deal **merged**

[Sydla]

Romo is only one man.

Not saying they are important. But in a league driven by parity it is your superstars that get people over the hump.

QBs are more valuable than WRs though. So if I can only have one man.......... it would be a QB well before a WR.

 

[Doomsday101]

Does it bother anyone else how much of a constant distraction he is?

I don't think Dez is a distraction, I do think deals like this are a pain in the backside and will get a lot of attention. When everything is done and complete both sides will act like this was no big deal and will move forward.

 

[JoeKing]

I doubt it. Not if he sits.

What are you saying? He's going to close his eyes? The Cowboys can win this division without Dez.

 

[KJJ]

So the next man up can be our superstar.

There is no next man up to be our superstar at WR.

He keep giving me 16 touchdowns, he can be all the distraction he wants. sorry but the cowboys need him.

T -2 hours,.... Starting to feel this doesn't get done

i think you are an hour early. 3mp ct, 4pm et

 

[tyke1doe]

It's gonna get done.

 

[Supercowboy1986]

Incompetent dullard confirmed.

Feelings hurt confirmed.

What are you saying? He's going to close his eyes? The Cowboys can win this division without Dez.

I think you know what I'm saying.

 

[Kevinicus]

Win the division without him?

I think they would. I don't see who would be better, even if he is not there.

 

[USMarineVet]

All my alerts keep saying that Dez is the most optimistic he's been through the whole process. Offered upwards of 13 million and they're still negotiating. Hang in there guys. Good news is coming soon.

 

[mugsybows]

this gets done in the final hour.

Michael Irvin: Cowboys are 8-8 at best without Dez Bryant

http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/eye-on...in-cowboys-are-8-8-at-best-without-dez-bryant

What happens if Dez is on the sidelines for multiple games? According to Cowboys legend Michael Irvin, it's another 8-8 season at best.

"Who really has the leverage here? You think you're going on that football field without Dez Bryant? I was reading the articles today buddy," Irvin told "The Rich Eisen Show. "I was reading about how great Terrance Williams is doing. All that stuff is for Dez to read. It's easy to do great in minicamp.

"But if you think you see better than 8-8 without Dez Bryant, I'm telling you, you will not see better than 8-8 without 88."

Report: Cowboys offer Dez Bryant more than $12.8 million per year

Dez Bryant wants to get paid like one of the NFL's best receivers. And while the franchise tag does that, the Cowboys receiver is looking for something more than a one-year deal. How much more?

The Lions signed Calvin Johnson to a seven-year, $113 million extension in 2012, which works out to $16.1 million per season. Meanwhile, the Cowboys' original offer for Bryant was around $10 million per season over six years. And the franchise tag for wide receivers in 2015 is $12.83 million. And now, according to NFL.com's Ian Rapoport, the team has upped its offer to Bryant to more than $12.83 million.

Back in March Bryant tweeted that "$13 million is cool", referring to the franchise tag amount, before adding: "But where is my security? I'll wait ... Five years without complaining ... So how am I selfish?"

But if Bryant and the Cowboys don't agree on a long-term deal by 4 p.m. Wednesday, he will be forced to play on a one-year deal. And Bryant made it clear on Monday that without that new contract he won't be playing.

I think you know what I'm saying.

I think you may have been a bit ambiguous... just a little.

QBs are more valuable than WRs though. So if I can only have one man.......... it would be a QB well before a WR.

OF course. But this isn't either or.

Well yes. Let us hope that they did. 12.8m per is his floor.

This isn't saying much.

 

[cajuncocoa]

I think you may have been a bit ambiguous... just a little.

I think you're being a little delusional about the Cowboys chances without Dez. Is that straightforward enough for you now?
