Dez Bryant signed a five-year deal worth $70 million on Wednesday that will pay him an average of $14 million per season, league sources told ESPN’s Chris Mortensen.
Bryant’s deal includes $45 million in fully-guaranteed money, including a $20 million signing bonus and fully guaranteed salaries of $3 million in 2015, $9 million in 2016 and $13 in 2017, sources told ESPN.
Cowboys owner Jerry Jones and his son, Stephen Jones, the team’s executive vice president, flew to New York and spent five hours Tuesday night meeting with Bryant’s Roc Nation representatives, sources tell ESPN’s Adam Schefter. The deal between the team and Bryant was reached during those meetings.
Bryant arrived at the Cowboys’ facility Wednesday afternoon, and a photo of him signing the deal was tweeted by a reporter for DallasCowboys.com.
