Stories are a deal coming soon somewhere in the 5 yr $70M range.

Which is a good deal for both the cowboys and him imo. I wouldn't be surprised if the Bengals and Green strike a similar deal now. It seems like the Bengals wait until they see a similar deal done and then work off of that one.

So Dez signed a 5 year, $70MM deal with $45MM guaranteed and then right after D. Thomas signed and almost identical deal - 5-70 but with "only" $43.5MM guaranteed.

Not far off, but I thought Dez or both would get a little closer to the $50MM mark, in line with Megatron.

Percentage wise, he got far more of his contract guaranteed than Megatron did, didn't he?

I guess, but an NFL contract is all about the actual number guaranteed.

Well I agree, but if Megtratron's contract is $40+ more than Dez, it would make sense that he would have quite a bit more guaranteed money.

 

Didn't I hear that Megatron's was worth like $113 million?

I concur and Dez has earned whatever he gets. He plays hard and is a gamer.

 

I would be lying though if I said Dez still doesn't scare me that he will go off the deep end and lose his mind when you least need him to.

 

I had Dez last year on my FF team...guy has heart and I love him! Had Romo too...risky pick due to his early back injury but it all worked out OK:)!

 

In the real world however, I would be worried about him doing something stupid. A guy that young with that much money...not always a good combo...
