SO.... Here's what I would be offering Dez today.

[Doomsday]

6 year, 85 million deal with 40 guaranteed, 25 up front as part of the guarantee. Also, laden with performance benchmarks and accomplishment bonuses that can add up to a extra million annually.

I think it is important to sign Dez long term, but again I don't believe it's the end of the world if we don't. And yes, it's really easy to spend someone else's money, even hypothetically.

Your thoughts on this offer? No, it's not Megatron money but we're not Detroit either.

 

[DezIrvin]

thats 2.5 per less than megatron and 20 less guaranteed. no way he'd sign it.

Megatron's contract wasn't in today's marketplace. It was done in the old CBA. It doesn't affect today's market.

You're telling me Dez turns down a 25 million dollar check, with 15 more guaranteed, and turns down potentially 15.1 million a year counting the incentives?

It's a generous offer and one we can afford under the cap. It's 90.6 million over the life of the deal if all bonus incentives are accomplished.

Dez would not be turning that down on his own, but if he is getting (bad) advice from an greedy agent, then he would.

Dez thinks he is Megatron's equal. There is no way he signs for significantly less than CJ.

He wants a 100 million dollar contract. Anyways, Hall tweeted today.

DeAngelo Hall on Twitter: @dallascowboys Pay the Man @DezBryant. I've covered the best this league has to offer for 11yrs. He's in my Top 5 Rice,Moss,Calvin,TO,Dez

Hall trying to sabotage.

His first 50 games is superior to that of Calvin Johnson's.

 

[Doomsday]

Dez thinks he is Megatron's equal.

It doesn't matter what he thinks and even if it is true - what matters is this current marketplace.

 

[Doomsday]

He wants a 100 million dollar contract.

I could come up with that, but it would be structured so he never actually sees that amount. Like Suh's deal for example.

The #Cowboys are making real progress toward a long-term deal with Dez Bryant. Everyone, it appears, it optimistic now.

I saw a report on NFL network they're offering 14. It's all speculation though.

 

[DezIrvin]

Let's hope they do it. It's enough already.

 

[cmd34]

Pay the man. Dez is an emotional powder keg. His holdout would be a huge distraction for a team with real Super Bowl aspirations, throw in the Dallas Cowboy factor and it will sidetrack the whole season.

Do what? Offer him 14? That's less than i was putting out there.

Dez is on his way to Valley Ranch according to multiple sources

Get a contract done.

 

[Doomsday]

Get a contract done.

That requires him signing it right?

 

[Doomsday]

I bet'cha what I put up is a better deal than what Dez actually signs, if he signs today.
