How do you think this will work out in the end?
There's a lot of scuttlebutt out there that the Cowboys don't quite trust Dez enough to give him a massive long term deal with big guaranteed money. I've heard national and local media people say that Dez is still very immature off the field, whatever that means, and the Cowboys are concerned about it. Today Steve said at the combine that it looked more likely we'd franchise Dez and give the longer term contract to Demarco.
Is this all posturing from the club? Do they really intend to give Dez a big multi-year deal but they're just trying to knock the price down a little? Or is there really a possibility they don't lock him up long term?
My guess is they just want to get the price down a bit, because I can't imagine Jerry letting probably his all-time most successful project walk out the door. Still think Dez gets a mammoth contract, but now I'm not quite as sure.
