Great! Let's get TC started now.

 

[Zordon]

Good deal for both sides.

 

[ErikWilliamsHeadSlap]

Time to order my 88 shirt.

 

[KJJ]

Looks like he can go pick up his Bugatti....VROOM!

 

[slick325]

Glad it got done and the numbers are what I expected.

 

[Wood]

The deal is great for both sides, Dez is an elite talent and has proven his worth, a difference maker!

So glad it is over and that Dez can teach them rookies like Bryon and Randy how to compete and play with passion!

we don't know yet if its good deal for Dallas because they haven't lost anyone yet to FA or been unable to sign FA based on Dez contract. Time will tell. Certainly good deal for Dez.

This is such a big deal it deserves it's own thread. Mods feel free to move this if I am wrong.

 

[Bowdown27]

23 million guaranteed ?! in 2015

 

[MrPeanutbutter]

I can almost here all the Eagle fans crying on twitter. Almost.

 

[Doomsday101]

14 million a year isn't terrible, but the deal is a bit short for us.

He will be 31 at the end of the deal I would say the length is perfect

Slightly more than I wanted to give him. Would have been thrilled at 13, but 14 is absolutely fine for what he offers and for how he played last year.

 

[theogt]

That's a good deal for the team. And Bryant shouldn't be upset about it either.

 

[DCBoysfan]

Smart way to structure that deal.

 

[DFWJC]

YEAH!!!!!!!

 

[TonyS]

14 million a year isn't terrible, but the deal is a bit short for us.

I agree, but 5 years gets us through the Romo years at least. Will he see all 5 years is the question.

 

[big dog cowboy]

Dez gonna make it rain tonight.

 

[endersdragon]

More guaranteed than I would have wanted... wonder what sort of ability the Cowboys have to back out if any. Still glad it got done and for the right amount

 

[Section446]

Pretty team friendly deal, Megatron go $60 million guaranteed, Dez got $45 million guaranteed, that's about right.

 

[Nightman]

That's a lot better than I expected. but in reality if he did 7 years at 14 million per it would be 98 million like rumors were persisting

Still might be accounting reasons and the salary cap, 2 voidable years
