Guessing: Dez gets extended over Bye

[Howboutdemcowboys31]

And I hope I'm right. Dez is having a down season STATISTICALLY due to us running the ball and having Weeden for a game. I could be wrong, but maybe Dez gears up with a new agency because he knew Dallas wants to negotiate over the break and things weren't working with his other agent in the negotiations process. Bryant has also always been a second half of the season explosion, so the Cowboys may want to catch him while his stats are lower.

This is totally a guess, and I could be totally wrong. Just have a gut feeling Dez Bryant will be a long term Cowboy before the Giants game

What is the rush?

I suspect the front-office is perfectly OK waiting to see how the season plays out.

Currently Dez is rated 13th in NFL receiving yardage (635) wedged between other NFL superstar WRs DeAndre Hopkins (684) and Mohamed Sunu (628).

Also there isn't a single one of the guys ahead of him with a lower yards per reception than Dez.

Dez is going to make top 10 money but the case for Dez to make top 2-3 money is lessening.

Good deal for the front-office.

I love dez but this team needs so many things I wouldn't break the bank to sign him. He hasnt really been a big game changer that much this year. You could add a lot of guys to this defense for the contract dez is looking for.

Dez gets double and triple teamed virtually every play unless the other team is sending the house. Randy Moss would struggle to put up big numbers.

We should resign Jesse Holley instead of Dez. Or at least crank up another 4th and Long so we can really get a quality WR rather than Dez.

Randy Moss never had a RB on his team on pace for 2000+ yards rushing. Teams did everything they could to stop him.

Cowboys are seeing a fair amount of 8 in a box at this point -- not all the time, but definitely some of the time. Dez gets his fair share of double-teams for sure, however does that explain his drop in yardage and yards per reception from his break-out season in 2012?

I'd argue Future that for whatever reason we are not seeing Dez gain the separation we saw earlier in his career. Might be his back causing the issue, but he just isn't running away from defenders any more.

I agree. He is not playing well. He needs to dominate and he simply hasnt.

Guy has a ton of drops this year.

There's no shot Dez is getting a deal done by the bye.

 

[Lodeus]

I don't think we get Dez back.

 

[perrykemp]

I don't think we get Dez back.

I think Dez is resigned, probably somewhere in between Jordy Nelson's deal (4y/$39m for $9.75m per) and Mike Wallace's deal (5y/$60m for $12m per).

I don't see him getting more than $12m a year.

Actually Dez wanted to sign a contract with the Cowboys before the season started. It was his agent that wanted Dez to hold out for more market value. Dez didn't care so much of getting market value he just wanted a contract. Thus this is the reason why Dez fired his agent and went with Roc.

Dez wasn't the one that wanted more money. It was his agent. Thus the reason why Dez canned his azz.

 

[crashintonickdm]

id rather him be locked up sooner than later. we cannot let this freak go.

 

[Risen Star]

I don't think we get Dez back.

Guaranteed. Don't waste a second of your time worrying about it. He wants to be in Dallas and the team wants him to stay. It gets done one way or the other. He'd have to have an off the field incident to change things.

You do realize big time receivers get doubled most of the game, right? This isn't anything new. The great ones find ways to make plays.

Dez leaves a lot to be desired. He's a good talent but he's never been the guy to really be a huge game changer consistently.

That doesn't make much sense to me. If Dez wanted to get a deal done and it was the agent that was playing hardball, why would Jerry Jones have a problem with him switching agents? He wants to get raked over the coals?

It makes zero sense. But it's Jerry, so it's possible.

RocNation is a great agent for Dez. They aren't all about signing big contracts. They are all about endorsements. Thats the reason why players like Suh wants to go to New York because its all about endorsements and not the contracts. Thats what today's NFL agents don't focus on except for RocNation.

Endorsements was how Michael Jordan became a billionaire. If it weren't for endorsements he would be nothing more than a multi-millionaire. Labron James was an inch close to signing with the NY basketball team. Thats because that basketball team has a good relationship with RocNation and would have made James more money than Michael Jordan.

I believe this is good for Bryant and for Dallas as well. Bryant would now be more willing to sign on for a cap friendly contract because he knows he will be making more money on endorsements. Of course I could be wrong. But it will allow the Cowboys and Bryant more wiggle room when it comes with NFL contracts. Like I said, endorsements is where the money is at and this is where I believe Bryant wants to go.

Bryant is doing the right thing. He wants to remain I Cowboy for his entire life. It was his agent that wanted more money not Bryant.
