Five more years of not changing my sig!
Can I make you one with Super Bowl trophy to replace burger next year? Lol

Cowboys win the next two super bowls, Romo retires.
After that dunno, don't care
I get that, but 7 years is a better deal than 5 for DAL. More cap and salary flexibility.
These deadlines always amuse me. This is not like procrastinating for your mid term assignment in undergrad. Why the last hour? So what was going on the last two months? How many numbers can be crunched? What happened in the last hour besides the obvious deadline that made both parties feel great? Lol
not really, signing bonuses can only be spread 5 years, so adding two phantom years to the end of the deal, would have 0 impact this year. Now had we added more years, it would give us more flexibility in future season if we needed him to restructure, however, that usually means we would have had to give him bigger guarantees to compensate for him being under contract for 2 more seasons.

I am glad that the cowboys signed Bryant now there will be no distractions heading into training camp. the drama of not having Bryant at training camp would have been unreal on this board and the team.
I'm happy he finally signed, but I'm still unimpressed with his Twitter posts and trying to force Jerry's hand. He could have been more professional and trusted the Man/team that's had his back since he came into the league. Jerry never said anything bad and always said he wanted Dez in Dallas. Sometimes you should just shut up and let your agent handle things. He still has a lot to learn from players like Ware, Witten, Lee, Romo, etc.. Throwing temper tantrums and making threats is exactly why folks still don't trust that he'll keep his nose clean. I sure hope this thing doesn't go south now that Dez had his money.
It's pretty apparent that the Cowboys blinked on this one.
With the 22m in guarantees that kick in 2016 there is room for a voidable year or two.
I expect base salaries of 10m in 2016 and 12m in 2017 will make up the additional 22m.
I would rather see an option bonus of 15m spread over 5 more years with lower base salaries of 3m and 4m making up the 22m
It’s a five-year, $70 million agreement with a $20 million signing bonus. Bryant will make $3 million more in salary for the 2015 season and $22 million more will become fully guaranteed in March 2016.
