Dez Bryant, one of the NFL's best receivers has been subject to new suspicion and concerns lately. The 26 year old wide receiver is about to sign a 10 year contract with the Dallas Cowboys, however the team is not sure whether the decision they are about to make is a good idea.
The proposed contract would last for 10 years, with a pay of $114 million. While this is certainly a large sum of money, Bryant believes he deserves it. The Cowboys however, seem hesitant. Recently there have been six instances in which police have had to visit Bryant's residence for issues ranging from a harassment case, to having the fire department unlock his car which had a sleeping baby inside. Dez Bryant has had anger management issues in the past and has a manager with him at all times. Dallas Cowboy players even claim that they do not trust Bryant off the field.
While Bryant says he is willing to talk numbers during the season, the previous proposals by the Cowboys have not been impressive to the receiver, nor set in stone. Of the $114 million proposed contract, a $5 million signing bonus would be awarded, and for the six years at the start of the contract, $10 million per year would be paid out, which is not the salary a top NFL receiver would earn.
It does not look like this contract will be finalized any time soon. Will Bryant slip up and give the Cowboys more reason to be wary? Or are the Cowboys being unfairly cautious toward one of the NFL's best wide receivers? Only time will tell.
