The drama continues to build up in Dallas as Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant is thinking about not reporting to the Dallas Cowboys for the regular-season opener unless he is signed to a long-term contract by July 15. "This is not a rumor," Bryant confirmed to the NFL Network "It's legit."

Dez hasn't signed his franchise tag, if he does, it which would guarantee him $12,823,000 for the 2015 season. The Cowboys have until July 15 to sign Bryant to a long-term contract. His only other options are to play under the $12.823 million tag or not play at all.

The Cowboys would be wise to sign Dez to a long term contract as they already lost running back DeMarco Murray to the rival Philadelphia Eagles in the offseason.
