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

[casmith07]

Signing bonus money can only be spread out over 5 years anyway. Anything over 5 years really means nothing.

And signing bonus money impacts the cap. Fiscal responsibility at Valley Ranch.

Say what you want about Dez, he got what he wanted and played this thing beautifully for him as i've been saying all along.

Doesn't matter. Either way, its a fully operational battle station!

Excellent reference

Take Dez Bryant to the bank.

The Dallas Cowboys and their franchised-tagged star wideout are finalizing a five-year contract ahead of Wednesday's 4 p.m. ET deadline, a source involved in the negotiations told NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport.

The new pact puts to bed a summer-long drama that saw negotiations flatline between Dallas and Bryant, who threatened to skip training camp and regular-season games without a new long-term contract.

Bryant is worth every penny he'll earn. Coming off a monster campaign that saw the 26-year-old set a career mark with 16 touchdowns, Dez rolls into September as the heart and soul of a Cowboys offense with Super Bowl aspirations.

Bryant has emerged over five seasons as a bona fide top-five NFL wideout: Where you place him in that group boils down to preference. Yes, he occasionally vanishes for a quarter, but Dez makes up for it with explosive stretches of play that leave defenses scattered.

As rugged and talented at the point of catch as any receiver around, Bryant has pumped out three straight 1,200-plus-yard campaigns despite constant double teams. If the Cowboys remain concerned about his off-the-field ups and downs, there is zero question about the fire Bryant brings to the field.

With Dez set to sign a long-term contract, Dallas marches into September with a talented cast of wideouts that also includes Terrance Williams and the underrated Cole Beasley. If the Cowboys can keep up their ground game after losing of DeMarco Murray, Big D remains a threat to travel deep into the playoffs this winter.

Rapport says 5 years. Best day ever

Or, Dallas and Dez colluded (gasp!) to drive interest in the media and therefore revenue!

 

[JoeKing]

Apparently the deal is being finalized right now and details will be made public at 2:45cdt on DC.com. That's less than an hour folks... the wait is almost over.

Not necessarily. For all we know, he caved a bit.

Say what you want about the Cowboys front office, but they got what they wanted and played this thing beautifully for themselves.

what did he want and what did he get?

 

[dwreck27]

Why only 5 years? Guess they are banking on rebuilding when Romo is done?

Has to be.....I dont want to accept that... but Im starting to sense that trend..

[The Natural]

@mrtxstar you ready to welcome the crown prince back?

 

[ABQCOWBOY]

what did he want and what did he get?

Exactly. We don't know anything more then we did a year ago, at this point.

I saw what you did there.

I am thinking they both "caved" a bit. That is a good negotiation where both sides can claim victory and hug.
