July 15th is Dez' deadline. The Cowboys' deadline isn't until July 15th next year.

Dez is tired of this dragging this on, and word is, he needs the cash. Player paychecks don't resume until after Week 1 in mid September.

I think it gets done next week at a slight discount because I think Jerry gets involved. Stephen is the hardball negotiator.

Cowboys deadline would actually be the league new year of 2017

Did you get the info from the hack Jason Cole?

No, because that would be a free for all.

Next summer, they'll slap another franchise tag on him, and then work out the long-term deal. They aren't under the gun yet.

Dez wants this done though, so I think if he gives a little, he'll get his contract.

so Dez has made what 6 mil in 4 years and it is all gone ??
Poor guy having to get by on a measly 1.5 mil a year ! Thats awful.

But if he is broke he might go ahead and sign the tag, but may not cave on the other contract.
i dont think FO caves either.

Uncle Sam took about 40 percent of it. And he's had a legal problem or two along the way.

The Dez video will come first...just to irritate folks. Lol

Which folks? The day Dez signs his deal it will be time to celebrate!

The only thing that irritates me is the NFL prolonging something with Hardy that could have taken, maybe, a few hours! Rodger Goodell can ...!!!!

Like the song goes, "the days dwindle down to a precious gem." There are only five (count 'em, 5) days left for Dez, Condon and the Dallas FO to settle their differences and agree to a contract to suit both parties. Without question, it'd be nice to see them shake hands and put those issues behind them. Sad to say, it seems there's possibly as good a chance of it not happening now as otherwise.

I'm sure everyone, including those directly affected and the fans also, might breathe a sigh of relief to get this thing wrapped up in time to get back to the business of preparing for TC and the upcoming season. We'd all love to see this get settled in the last few days before July 15th. It's been taking way too long, already. It's high time to start thinking about football, not money and contracts. Let's get 'er done, fellas!
