Dez Bryant Signs

The first first-rounder sign around the league, and he was drafted in the same area as Thomas and Tebow. Hopefully this helps things progress nicely.

Good news. Hopefully now we can see some progress.

Five-year $11.8 million deal that includes $8.5 million guaranteed

That’s 1.5mil less that last year’s 24th, but 1mil more guaranteed

Hm.

He gave up $1.5mil for $1mil up-front? Intriguing.

No question that taking extra guaranteed money is smart. It’s too easy to get injured or just not be that good.
If he makes it to the end of the contract, he’ll probably be in line for a huge contract anyway.

This signing means a lot

I opined during draft time that Bryant would sign early – that he wouldn’t be another Crabtree type holdout. Both he and his agent had too much to prove. As you noted, Tebow and Thomas were drafted around him. This should expediate their contracts by giving the agent a baseline to work from.

This is good news, very good news.

23-1. Determination. That which cannont be taught. The reult of finding yourself through adversity.

yea was going to say the same thing

Tebow should be coming up soon unless the brass wants to knock out all the later rounds to then free themselves up for the 2 first rounders. Great news though a 1st rounder was signed because I thought a lot of teams were going to be reluctant signing rookies to large garunteed money contracts with a lockout looming
