News: PFT: Dez Bryant gets five years, $70 million from Cowboys

[Garrettop]

I think this deal has Stephen's signature all over it.

Absolutely. Seeing one outstanding FO move after another over the last 3 years is really putting me in BUY mode over the next 2 decades. Not only no more stupid Barber deals or Williams trades, but even the guys that deserve to get paid aren't getting stretched out, gaudy looking and potentially hamstringing contracts. It's a contract for the amount of time they can be reasonably sure they will want the player, and for the most part pays what it says. None of this 40 year 5 billion stuff just to make headlines and inflate egos.

So Dez and Thomas sign the same deal, I wouldn't talk about collusion if I were the NFLPA

The Cowboys continue to win the off season.

Will the NFLPA have a field day with this? Both teams just signed the same contract. They must of been discussing this behind close doors. LOL

No, because they got their contracts. They would have went ahead with it if the players didn't get extended.

 

[AzorAhai]

So @cowboyvic was wrong again? Shocker.

 

[Nightman]

Because of how they worked it. He gets a lot of money up front and helps give us cap space NOW. Also free's up money in the next few years to lock up other guys. Worked out for both parties

I get that, but 7 years is a better deal than 5 for DAL. More cap and salary flexibility.

Charlotte, the closer

I love it. cowboys keep a great player. and Dez get's the money he earned and deserves. win for both sides. hats off to Jerry for getting this done. i think he push his son Stephen to the side. and got this deal done himself. i am a happy cowboys fan today.

Glad to see you happy

Glad to see everyone happy. This is what it's all about.

Sounds like the $45 million is fully guaranteed.

That's Jerry's doing, I'm sure.

Dez camp wanting $50-60 guaranteed initially, looks like they both compromised.

That's not what has been reported.

It is staggered over 2 years and has outs for arrests and suspensions.

It's up. Mickey is on his phone. STARTING NOW!

Thanks, maybe it's on my end but I'm still not getting the video feed to load on the live podcast?!
Trouble for Anyone else?

Charlotte, the closer

Charlotte likes to make her presence known it seems.

Charlotte is the best Jones Exec to be honest!

 

[Boyzmamacita]

Pay the man!!.....oh wait.

 

[Avery]

For those wondering why he didn't receive a longer deal like Smith, keep in mind that Tyron was 23 when he signed his eight year deal and Dez is 26 at his five year deal. Both end when they're 31 which is a good time to take stock of your career as well as financial flexibility.

Hot Chicks get attention, you know how it works.

   Where's the NFLPA now? Identical deals, so it's 'collusion,' right? Dopes.

   The NFLPA lit a fire under some butts with Denver and Dallas getting deals done before the deadline

LOL at Hill.

I seriously doubt the Cowboys and Broncos got deals done because of a NFLPA threat. Geezus dude.

Hope you're right, but that's not what Brandon George tweeted.
