The Cowboys are approaching a crossroads on whether to keep Dez Bryant and his $12.5 million salary. Reports suggest they may act soon.
Is Dez done? After all, we have seen glaciers move more quickly than Dez Bryant last season.
Or does he bounce back with another team, one that is not playing a RB at QB? Discuss...
The Cowboys begin their offseason program April 16, and that seems a logical deadline considering any season-ending injury occurring on team premises would guarantee his $12.5 million salary. It also makes sense that Bryant would want to know his status sooner than later.
The Cowboys are expected to ask Bryant to reduce his base salary to lower his salary cap number of $16.5 million for 2018. Bryant, 29, has not had a 1,000-yard season since 2014 and his last 100-yard game was November 13, 2016.
Dallas signed Allen Hurns and Deonte Thompson in free agency and still could draft a receiver. The Cowboys have shown interest in Alabama’s Calvin Ridley and SMU’s Courtland Sutton among others.
“I have not met with Dez,” Garrett said at the Cowboys’ Taste of the NFL event. “Dez is on our football team, and again, we talked about some of the moves we made at the receiver position, and they’re designed to create competition there. We think that’s going to help everybody on our team.”
Dez Bryant’s future remains in doubt but decision could come sooner than later
