If the latest reports are accurate, that the team has offered Dez over 13, I would consider that value. Of course, we don't know how much is guaranteed and how much is up front but lets say 3 years with a signing bonus, that's well over 40 guaranteed. That's value to me.

It's an okay value, but his previous contract was significantly better value.

Getting reports from Dallas Morning News that 'boys/dez closing in on a deal.

Also, a number of fans believe he caught the ball against the Packers.

Best news I heard in awhile. And yes, it was a catch.

welp looks like i gotta start following rapoport now.

Then you'll like Rapoport's better

 

[AsthmaField]

Sounds good.

 

[Sydla]

He also said He would give the Broncos a hometown discount and a new article on NFL.com says not to rule out him missing games now. Would you want a guy like Thomas who says one thing but does another or a guy like Dez that just speaks his true intentions.

The article on NFL.com is from Rappaport and has no facts or statements to back up his claim that Thomas may skip games.

You don't make up for past bad contracts by playing hardball with your teams most talented young player. Period. The way you fix the issue that has happened in the past is by not paying mediocre talent with one productive season.. Dez has never fallen into that category

You don't make all good contracts and then just throw it all away for a WR.

Romo, TSmith, Lee, DWare, Hatcher, Melton, OScan, McClain, Hardy, Free, Beasley, Parnell, Carter, DHarris all have been done with value in mind.

They are unhappy with the Carr deal and haven't made that mistake again.

 

[MrPeanutbutter]

I don't usually believe one source, but assuming Rapsheet and Dallas Morning News aren't using the same source, this is a good sign all around.

Cowboys never put up best offer until the deadline, but usually close deals.

Johnnie Walker?

Hopefully, they are getting close to a deal.

52m guaranteed? not bad per Fish

That's in reference to the Justin Houston deal, where he got $52 million in guaranteed money, but those guarantees have protections built in to protect the teams.

Looks like the man will indeed be paid (*ducks*) before 4pm. No way they're not going to get something done after this talk of good progress.

 

[mugsybows]

YES!!!

btw your picture in your sig gets me weak everytime!

 

[cajuncocoa]

I'm going to be sick if this is all for nothing. Parallels to the playoff game dying at the one yard line...sorry for being Little Miss Sunshine (sarcasm), but I'm afraid to get my hopes up.

 

[NeonNinja]

Looks as if it will get done. Hope it does. Now we just wait for details.

Tee minus 1 hour and 43 mins and counting down. I'm getting all nervous, excited, and tinglingly inside.
