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

[mugsybows]

yeah i read somewhere on twitter last night that an unnamed source was saying the deal is pretty much done and it'll be announced Thursday, but that may all be hot air. Don't really trust unnamed sources. Hope its true though.

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

Everyone

It's going to seem like a lot but it will end up being a fair deal. Dez will just set the market. D. Thomas and A. Brown will get similar deals and then A. Green, J. Jones etc...

I remember when a ton of people freaked out over Romo's new deal and now he is considered a big bargain at QB (Cutler even makes more).

This is an important point - these deals always seem huge, but then a couple of years later they look more reasonable.

I can't even imagine a $50 million guaranteed signing bonus. I think I read where Rob Gronkowski hasn't even touched his signing bonus. Probably has it locked up in an investment account somewhere drawing interest. He only uses his salary money and endorsements. That's how you stay rich and not having to work another day in your life.

Please, Dez, If you get paid that much, invest it wisely and let it work for you and tell financially-clingy relatives and leeches to get lost.

I hate to hear that at the end of their careers or shortly after their careers end, these high-priced athletes are near bankruptcy.

With two weeks till the deadline I suspect there will be lots of rumors and lots of talk between the two sides

Does it say 50 Million Signing Bonus? I only read 45 Million Guaranteed.

He won't be getting a 50m signing bonus.

I'm starting to feel that way also. Only because I trust Stephen won't screw us with a bad deal. If there is anything good to come from the Carr deal it's the fact we learned an expensive lesson.

 

[CATCH17]

Man if I was unsigned and worth that much i'd be scared to walk out of my house.

Stephen Jones has been a part of negotiating contracts and managing the cap since at least 1994. He has been party to many bad contracts that the Cowboys have entered into - Deion Sanders' last extension, Michael Irvin's last extension, Troy Aikman's restructure after restructure, Marco Rivera, the Jay Ratliff extension, the Miles Austin contract, Brandon Carr. If Brandon Carr's contract is the lesson that changes everything, then the student required a lot of teaching.

I wish the pic in your sig was a scratch n sniff.

What if...tilapia

I'll take my chances...

I don't think they were bad deals as much as the players didn't even do as well as the had in the past, let alone got better.

The two I didn't like were the RW11 deal and trade and MBIII.

The only players to fully live up to their deals were DWare, Witten and Romo. Lately OScan, TSmith and maybe Church.

 

[GimmeTheBall!]

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

Ok be all cynacal and stuff but as gott is mein witness, his passion, devotion to teammates, love of football, work ethic . . . wait . . . i cannot keep a straight face, handsome as it is in the afternoon sun. heh.

 

[GimmeTheBall!]

oof, so close to a perfectly-formed post.

i am like that monkey in a room full of typewriters. one day I will make you proud!

There's a distinct pecking order at VR. If "Big Daddy" say's sign him the lessor voices just say how much
and move on. Stephen has only recently tried to reign in his Dad.

Well, I wouldn't say that Tyron Smith has fully lived up to his 10 year contract yet, technically... lol. But so far, yes.
