The Cowboys plan on speaking with wide receiver Dez Bryant regarding a restructuring of his deal. On Wednesday, it was reported that the Cowboys hoped to resolve the issue at some point over the next two weeks. 
The team seemed to step back from that notion Thursday.
“We haven’t put that timeline on it,” said Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones during a press conference at the team’s facility, per Nick Eatman of DallasCowboys.com. “When we get ready on a decision with Dez, we’ll make it.”
Bryant, 29, signed a five-year, $70MM extension with the Cowboys prior to the 2016 season. He’s due to have a cap hit of $16.5MM in 2018. Veteran tight end Jason Witten and center Travis Frederick have already restructured their deals this offseason to create cap space. The team added a pair of wide receivers in free agency as well in Allen Hurns and Deonte Thompson.
“We’re going to sit down and we have a lot to talk about,” Jerry Jones said at the press conference. “I don’t want to say or not say anything to imply that Dez won’t be a Dallas Cowboy.”
In related news, the Cowboys have attended the pro days for wide receivers Christian Kirk (Texas A&M), Courtland Sutton (SMU) and Calvin Ridley (Alabama), who are all projected to go in the first two rounds of the upcoming draft. The Cowboys hold the No. 19 overall pick in the upcoming draft.
No rush.
no rush but something will be done…dez isnt a true 1 nor is hurns…my guess …large bonus, reconstruct, use the money to sign and trade for earl thomas
no rush but dez will be asked to take a cut ala witton and frederick who are actually putting up the numbers to back their steep salaries…dez isnt a #1 , nor is hurns….they need them both,,,reconstruct dez, draft ridley and use money saved to sign and trade for earl thomas…
Never is. Jones will drag it out like everything else he does. Personally I woulda cut Dez loose a long time ago. But that’s me.
I agree – I think he’s lost a step. Wasn’t a big fan any way. He was good but always 2nd tier. He was not up there A Brown, Julio Jones or AG Green , Fitzgerald … he can be someone’s strong number 2
The problem with Jones it’s personal. So strange for a successful business man. Go figure
Noah Brown 2nd year receiver from Ohio state on the cowboys will make a huge impact this year.
