Hold out, schmold out. Okay that was weak.
What isn't is how quickly and efficiently the Cowboys worked out a deal with receiver Dez Bryant. Many speculated this would be a hold out situation but the Cowboys and Bryant's agent, Eugene Parker, started talking Monday and were able to come to agreement today. Bryant is the first of this year's first-round picks to agree to a deal.
The DMN's Todd Archer says it's a five-year deal worth $11.8 million.
"This was very important to me to be able to get this done in time for the first practice," Bryant said in a team-issued statement. "I want to help this team. I want to compete. I can't wait to start playing football again."
My money says that's the best quote we'll get from him all year.
Cowboys EVP Stephen Jones is meeting with the media Thursday night.
