Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant has confirmed that he will not show up to training camp if he cannot come to terms on a long-term contract with the team.

The tweet came just hours after a report indicated that Bryant recently called Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones to let him know he has no intention of signing the franchise tender by the Wednesday deadline and will hold out if need be.
