Former Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant is not pleased that his ex-team reportedly signed former Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton to be the team's backup behind Dak Prescott in light of the Dallas signal-caller's ongoing long-term contract negotiations.

The Cowboys placed the exclusive franchise tag on Prescott, meaning they are the only team that can negotiate with the ex-Mississippi State star. Furthermore, the Cowboys and Prescott have until July 15 to work out a long-term deal, or else the quarterback will have to play out the 2020 season on the tag.
