Dez Bryant is entering the final year of his rookie contract, which was worth $11.8 million over five years. It’s safe to say that Dez has outplayed his pay.
Bryant is set to become a free agent after this season, but Jerry Jones is trying to seal him up for the long-term immediately.
NFL Media columnist Michael Silver reports, via sources in Dallas, that negotiations have intensified greatly.
There is now reason to believe Bryant will have a new contract before the start of Thursday’s preseason finaleversus the Broncos, Silver said on Tuesday’s edition of NFL Total Access.
The 4-year pro caught 93 passes and 13 touchdowns last season.
