NBC: Stephen Jones denies that Dez Bryant threatened to miss time **merged**

Jerry,

You have pulled off a brilliant off-season. Get Dez in there, pay him slightly under what Calvin makes with nice guarantees, and let's get our emotional leader hype for training camp. You have pulled off many successful business moves in your career, let's add another to the resume. GET.IT.DONE.

Calvin makes a cap-crippling contract where the Lions just had to let an All-Pro defender walk out the door. I hope Dez doesn't see close to that.

I think it'll get done

To be fair, do you think he Lions would have paid what the Dolphins just did for Suh?

I'm with you, I think it will get done in the last second.

No, but I think they could have landed something slightly more affordable with 1 or 2 years left on his deal like we did with Tyron

Or just keep him franchised and move forward.

Yup

 

[Tabascocat]

Jerry about to call his bluff? We will know soon..............

 

[big dog cowboy]

I'm ready for the drama to be over.

He will sign a long-term deal by the 15th, book it.

Either that or he will play under the franchise tag all year. Book it.

I don't see any in-between.

 

[darthseinfeld]

Players dont sign contracts like Smiths. Smith signed it because he felt indebted to the organization. Smith easily could have been the highest paid OT in the NFL

And he will play his heart out either way.

He loves football and he loves the Cowboys, DEZ will play hard. Steve and Jerry need to get this deal done, and I don't mean in a while, right now !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Kinda wish Dez felt that way towards the Cowboys after all they have done to give him every chance to succeed. Actually I'm sure that he does. But each player is different. Can't expect everyone to accept team-friendly deals.

I don't mind playing hard ball with players, just not with your best players, get the deal done Jerry !!!

Maybe this is the Monday Fish was talking about...

Please let this come true.

I hope they ink the deal tomm, and we hear about it by noon.

Well by average per year he is. And his money is as close you can get to guaranteed giving his age and how we use him as a bank account.

But yeah the deal is team friendly. And he'll get another big deal before it is all said and done.
