Thanks, I was more bothered than I should've been that the other thread didn't reflect the actual signing in the title.

They will add voidable years to the deal with the salary cap most likely

The other thread was a merged thread that started based on unconfirmed, but likely progress. This article got its own thread because it was an article and it contained details of the deal.

I like 5 better than 7 years anyway... But it really doesn't matter

This was a prediction made on July 4th from spotrac

http://www.spotrac.com/research/nfl/calculating-the-current-value-of-wr-dez-bryant-524/


Low Value (HOMETOWN DISCOUNT) Utilizing our Average Prime Percentage (3.07%), we're forecasting Bryant as the 3rd highest average paid WR:
5 years, $72,472,156 | $14,494,431 per year | $28,360,684 guaranteed High Value (MAX-VALUE DEAL)

Utilizing our Average Prime Percentage ( 6.87%), we're forecasting Bryant as the 3rd highest average paid WR:
5 years, $75,203,342 | $15,040,668 per year | $31,039,475 guaranteed

We'll split the difference to offer the best-value forecast for Bryant's next contract:
Spotrac's Prediction: 5 years, $73,837,749
Average Salary: $14,767,550
Guaranteed Money: $29,000,000

I want to know who was sending info to Rappaport....Spalding Jones???

 

[guag]

That is actually the best thing about this contract, IMO. He will be on the decline by then and Dallas can sign him then to what his current play will be worth. i.e. No dead money on the cap down the road.

That is what the team has been doing so well lately... not putting itself in position to be paying guys long term after they've started their decline in play.

Outstanding job.

I hope this trend continues of handing out contracts that are actually reasonably likely to reach the end. Smith's was long, yes, but he'll play 10 years here if health allows.

 

[CF74]

He gave us a discount, good for him....
