Dez Bryant will be on the field opening day for the Dallas Cowboys. Expect him at training camp, too.
Bryant agreed to a five-year, $70 million contract with $45 million guaranteed, a person familiar with the situation told USA TODAY Sports' Jarrett Bell. The person spoke on the condition of anonymity because Bryant had not yet signed the deal.
Wednesday was the deadline for players with the franchise tag to sign multi-year deals.
The $14 million average makes Bryant the league's second-highest paid wide receiver behind only Detroit Lions star Calvin Johnson.
Since Johnson signed a seven-year extension in 2012 that averages more than $16 million annually, no NFL wideout had signed a more lucrative deal than the five-year, $60 million contract the Miami Dolphins gave Mike Wallace in 2013.
