Not sure if this is allowable or not as it is a rumor. If not, please remove.

Good news came last night from Shan Shariff of 1053 radio:

Starting to hear multiple whispers about imminent long-term deal for Dez. The numbers 100 and 45 tossed around but still working to confirm.

Where there's smoke, there's fire.

$100 million total, $45 mil guaranteed? I'm assuming that's what they mean.

That's sure what I was thinking.

At that rate, I'm thinking an 8-year, "Cowboy for life" type of deal.

Yeah, and I'd be OK with that.

Actually, I can see near the end of the article they clarify what the numbers mean. Didn't see that initially.

Just because it's coming....just to compare you know...




Calvin Johnson, who was scheduled to make $18.5 million in salary this year ($14 million base salary and $4.5 million second day of the league year roster bonus), became the highest paid non-quarterback in NFL history by signing a seven-year, $113.45 million contract extension with the Detroit Lions on Wednesday.
Johnson’s extension averages $16,207,143, which is slightly above the $16,142,857 average of the seven-year contract extension Larry Fitzgerald signed last August. $53.25 million of Johnson’s deal is fully guaranteed at its signing, which sets a new standard for guaranteed money in NFL contracts. The final two years of the contract, which contain a total of $35.25 million, are voidable, but the Lions can buy them back by guaranteeing an additional $3.5 million in each of those two years. If the contract voids without the buyback, Johnson’s extension averages $15.64 million for five years.

I would as well. I couldn't care less about 'setting the market' or having anyone second guess the deal. Bryant is a Top 3 receiver in the league and deserves to be paid like one. He's as team-oriented as anyone on the roster and keeping him long term is great for this team and great for player morale.

Ehhhhh, when I see the number $100 million, I can't help but think it was at least a little bit about the money...

It was more about RESPECT.....money=respect and value in the Dez camp. oh well. one man dollar bill is another mans 100 dollar bill it's all the same...
