Nothing to see here, move along

Lol! That's pretty funny, actually. Dez is such a big kid, honestly.

I think Dez is a top 5 caliber WR but I also hope Dallas gets back to their old ways like when Irvin wanted Jerry Rice money, Jones told Mike to put up Rice numbers and he would get it and Mike did and Jerry paid as such, he did the same with Emmitt when Emmitt wanted Barry Sanders money.

Hmmm not exactly. Emmitt held out for two games which they lost because they didn't have Emmitt. When Jerry came into the locker room to address the team, Haley threw his helmet at Jerry but missed and punctured a hole on the wall. He yelled out "pay him!". Thus Emmitt's deal was signed.

Are you sure his helmet missed him? If he had been booped in the head it might explain why Jerry says some of the things he says.

Yikes!

That just sounds like something his agent told him to do. Bet it goes back up when the extension is signed.

An extension for Dez Bryant is about the surest thing going in the league right now. He's the face of this franchise, Irvin re-incarnated, and he's good and he's young. There's no way Jerry lets him leave, and no way he's going to want to play anyplace else. A career-ending injury is the only way his deal doesn't eventually end up getting done. (knock on @Wood).

I seen a rumor reported by ESPN not Dallas didn't want to pay him top 5 money because he's not a top 5 WR, something to that effect.

Just let your agent handle it Dez, the worst thing you can do is try to handle it yourself.

Thats what Ben Rogers says.. The way Dez worded things didn't seem like a response to an article though..

Yeah, the "I don't want to pay you what you deserve" comment has nothing to do with what was said in the Bleacher Report article. Sounds like Dez took negotiations public and his agent found him a convenient excuse to use for damage control.

True. I believe he will be here and for a long time.

But as die hard of a fan I am of Dez, and as much as it hurts me to say this, if he decided to take negotiation talks to his public twitter, to call Dez an idiot would be an understatement.

No way I give Dez 14m+ a year. I would go somewhere around 5/60m. Play out the Romo years, but if that isn't enough, tag him and start drafting/looking for replacements or even a trade.

Yes.

Dez was 13th in the league in receiving yards last year. Keep in mind, that was only about 190 yards from #5 AJ Green.

However, he was 2nd among WRs in TDs with 13.
I realize TDs fluctuate more than yards from year to year and are less predictable, but 13 TDs is a ton.

I'd never hire you as a GM.

I don't think Dez is the face of the franchise. Unfortunately I think that would be Jerry. Romo probably on the player side. I like Dez a lot though. He's just not the face of the team to me.

Dez is def one of the better WRs in the league and was the heart of the offense. But he has to realize that there is a salary cap and a lot of guys need to get paid. If he wants top 5 money, it might be time to start looking elsewhere. Romo is getting 17m, which is in the low range for a franchise QB.

I didn't know I interviewed for your Pee-Wee team.

I wouldn't even let you run a women's flag football team.

I agree. Bryant's popularity is growing by leaps and bounds among NFL fans. He may eventually unseat Jones and Romo. However, that time will only become true when Bryant's face literally starts to dominate sports stories, television promos, game lead-ins, etc.

I don't know about you but when I wake up on Sunday mornings before the Cowboys play the first person I think about on the team is Dez. It's always "Man I hope Dez has a beast of a game today".
