'No progress' made between Cowboys, Dez Bryant this weekend because of three main reasons**merged**

[Toruk_Makto]

Too bad, no one is giving Dez 40m fully guaranteed.

On the open market you couldn't be more wrong.

On the open market you couldn't be more wrong.

There isn't a single team with a good FO that will give a hot head with maturity issues and a bad back 40 mill guaranteed

Now if Dez wants to play for the raiders or jags then he is welcome to his money

The Cowboys should have Dez okay on the franchise tag and be done with it

 

[DejectedFan1996]

He needs the money. He has a 2 million dollar Bugatti in layaway right now! On the field Dez is a genius, off it he's a moron!

If he chooses to live that way then that's his prerogative.

Why do the Cowboys get tight when it comes to great players? They willfully hand the likes of Roy Williams, Jay Ratliff, Miles Austin etc...

We don't do business like that any more and haven't for a while now.

 

[Nightman]

On the open market you couldn't be more wrong.

Tell that to the owner that has to write a 40m check and put it in escrow and then hope Dez doesn't do anything stupid for 3 years or just get hurt.

If Dez can't get by on a deal that would guarantee him 52m before March of 2017 he can leave, hopefully for draft picks.

We could then sign or draft any other WR in the league.

 

[Rogah]

The Cowboys are in the driver's seat and they know it and they are acting like it. I think even Dez is coming around to that realization.

They are being smart and doing what is best for the team, balancing both the short term and the long term.

Anyone see Kobe Bryant's tweet today. Dez should steal it...

[Wood]

I applaud any attempt by Cowboys new GM (Stephen Jones) to exercise financial responsibility after decade or so of baseless, over-valued bad contracts. Now Dez is much better player than Ratliff, Barber, Hamlin and Roy Williams of the world and Dallas should be careful to not insult Dez with too low of contract. But Dallas really should just sit tight with franchise tag and see how this plays out this season. If Dez can't handle that is he really the person to leverage good portion of future salary cap with then?

If you don't think Dez would get 40 guaranteed on the open market just stop talking about such things. It's not your Forte.

It doesn't matter what you think.

He isn't on the open market.

Try to keep up.

 

[Bullflop]

One of Dez's biggest problems early-on was his inability to manage his money with the necessary self control.

Evidently, that problem is lingering. Jerry has had to co-sign his purchases lately. Some things never change.

But you said no one didn't you?

 

[dbonham]

I straight up don't believe that we're only offering Dez $20 mil guaranteed. He would be better off with the tag two years then going somewhere and signing a real contract.

 

[Aven8]

Hiring a financial adviser would be a good idea for Dez,,, he may have got the training wheels off from his first set of life counselors but he is venturing into new territory now.

They were talking about this on the radio the other day. Do you know that Gronk, of the Pats, Mr Party Animal has never spent one dime of his NFL contracts money? He lives on the money he makes for endorsements. Now that's Genius. He will never have to work another day in his life after football.

Co-sign his purchases?

 

[mugsybows]

A July 4th sign would be very fitting. Jerry would dominate headlines on a national holiday. getter done jerry!

You brought up this hypothetical saying no team would offer him 40m. I simply responded saying you couldn't be more wrong.

You're a joke dude.

Nobody pays attention to headlines on the holiday.
