Dez Bryant, Cowboys reportedly on verge of contract extension

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant has no intention of playing the 2015 season under a one-year contract, and he may not have to.

According to a report from Mike Fisher of 105.3 The Fan in Dallas, the Cowboys are “very optimistic” that a long-term extension between Bryant and the team is imminent. Fisher adds that the two sides are so comfortable with the way recent talks have gone that they have agreed to take a break for the holiday weekend, and a new deal could be announced as early as next week.

Bryant has until July 15th to either sign the franchise tender, which is worth $12.
