IRVING, Texas – The Cowboys and Dez Bryant’s representatives used just about every possible minute to get his five-year contract done in time.
All but about 30 minutes before last Wednesday’s 3 p.m. deadline, to be specific.
“It’s about as close as it gets,” Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones said Tuesday from the grand opening of Dallas Cowboys Club at Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport. “But deadlines do amazing things. It causes everybody to really push.
“If you’re going to get something done it’s time to put your best deal out there. I give Dez and his group a lot of credit.
