Report: Dez Bryant informs Cowboys he will hold out

Dez Bryant has officially informed the Dallas Cowboys that he will not show up to work until he gets a long-term contract, according to a report.

Sources reportedly told ESPN’s Ed Werder on Monday that Bryant personally called Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones to inform him that the team has a deadline of Wednesday — the deadline players have to sign their franchise tenders — to sign the 26-year-old wide receiver to a long-term deal. If an agreement can’t be reached by then, Bryant will not attend training camp. He also claims he is serious about missing regular season games.
