New Dez Bryant rumor, Starting to hear multiple whispers about imminent long-term deal for Dez.

[DFWJC]

Sounds like a 3/4 year deal to me, if true.

Lol

If that means 3-4 years.....Assuming that's in jest, right?

You mean he is also playing a 3/4 LB along with WR?!?!?!

 

[Temo]

You mean he is also playing a 3/4 LB along with WR?!?!?!

And outfield for the Rangers.

And outfield for the Rangers.

Word is Cuban was asking him to stop by his office as well after seeing him with Dirk and the X they were both doing.

 

[Stash]

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...

Money = respect in any big money negotiations. It sounds a lot better in the court of public opinion than "I'm out for every cent that I can get".

I'm not trying to assess blame, but I'm not getting fooled either.

 

[AbeBeta]

that doesn't sound ridiculous if something like an 8 year deal.

Probably 7 if 100.

But the 45 mill guaranteed is what matters. Likely paid over three years.

You mean he is also playing a 3/4 LB along with WR?!?!?!

LOL..... Yep, that's what it reads like.

3 or 4 year deal with the guaranteed money stated.

 

[darthseinfeld]

Im thinking 7 years, 100 million. 45-50 guaranteed

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.

Come on guys.... Get your secret Jerry decoder ring out.

He said Dez will be there game 1

This gets done.

Sounds like a solid rumor. It will be interesting to see what the first year cap hit will be and how much the Cowboys will free up from this move and restructuring Carr. It could potentially be Ten Million or more in new cap space for the coming season.

I've always had a hunch Jerry had some RB in mind to bring in late in the offseason or during Training Camp. Freeing up 10MM would be an interesting hand to play in that poker game.

 

[Nightman]

I laid out a 7/94m plan with up to 41m guaranteed

Initial signing bonus of 20m and an option bonus of 15m due on March 1st 2017.


.....................base................cap hit
2015..............2m....................6m
2016..............4m....................8m
2017..............5m...................12m
2018..............6m...................13m
2019..............14m................ 21m
2020..............14m.................17m
2021..............14m.................17m

That would basically guarantee 4yr/52m by March 1st, 2017

If they went to 7/100m basically just add a 1m to each year.

 

[Rockport]

Who cares what the numbers are as long as they sign him?

Report: Long-Term Deal Between Dez Bryant and Cowboys "Imminent"?
By One.Cool.Customer
http://www.bloggingtheboys.com/2015...-deal-between-dez-bryant-and-cowboys-imminent





On Saturday, Todd Archer of ESPN Dallas broke the news that Tom Condon, Bryant's agent, had his first face-to-face meeting with the he Dallas Cowboys in nearly four months last week. And with the two sides now picking up talks, Shariff's report appears plausible.

The numbers Shariff quotes are also interesting, although it remains to be seen which side is "tossing" those numbers around. The Cowboys' original offer to Bryant reportedly was $114 million over 10 years with $20 million in guarantees, and even amateur capologists immediately understood that such an offer was perhaps a starting point for a contract negotiation, but wasn't anywhere close to a final offer.

But $100 million (over seven years) with $45 million in guarantees might be much closer to what an eventual contract may look like.

In 2012 Detroit's Calvin Johnson signed a $113.45 million contract extension with $53.25 million guaranteed, but that simply is not a realistic target for Bryant for a number of reasons. The year before, Larry Fitzgerald signed a seven-year, $113 million extension with $45 million in guarantees with the Cardinals (which the team has since re-negotiated). Johnson was the second overall pick, Fitzgerald the third overall pick, and both players' draft position heavily influenced their eventual contract extensions...

No, man.

He's a small forward/stretch 4. With free agency beginning in the NBA, the Mavs may make a push here.
