Dez Bryant Confirms Intention to Hold Out Without New Cowboys Contract

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant is not messing around when it comes to his contract status.

ESPN's Ed Werder reported Monday that the All-Pro wideout called Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones and said he planned to sit out training camp and "real games" until he gets a new deal.

Bryant has since followed that up with a tweet of his own confirming his stance:

As much as I love football...on my beautiful babies.. I apologize #cowboynation but I will not be there if no deal #fact

After Werder's initial report, he noted on Twitter that he received a text from Jones denying Bryant called him with a threat to sit out training camp and regular-season games.
