The Cowboys have until Wednesday at 3 p.m. to sign Dez Bryant to a long-term contract. If the two sides do not reach an agreement by then, the All-Pro wide receiver will play the 2015 season under the franchise tag, paying him $12.8 million.
Here’s what you need to know leading up to that quickly approaching deadline.
Bryant has made it known that he would like to be a Cowboy for life and will be “highly disappointed” if he has to play under the franchise tag.
While there have been conversations between Bryant’s representatives and the Cowboys, there are conflicting reports on how close the sides have come to getting a deal done.
