No second contract for Dez?

While reading up on my facebook today, I came across a post from BTB, and it something along the lines that there have been rumblings about Dez Bryant not going to get resigned when his contract expires in 2014. I was like there is no way in hell he doesn't get a new contract. So I did a little digging and I finally found the source of that little tidbit.

Deep in this link, it talks about why the Cowboys are suiters for the WR Josh Gordon

I think it depends on how Dez does this year. It's put up or shut up time for him.

He's gotten better each and every year, and in his third year he finally gets a full off-season and from everything I have read and heard he has taken full advantage of it.

His route running has gotten better, his chemistry with Romo has improved, his stamina has also increased. I don't buy that the team has already decided to throw in the towel on Bryant (a player with perceived "legal" issues which when compared to other goings-on around the league are minor at best) for a player who actually broke the law by smoking an illegal substance.

Please tell me what organization decides 2 years into a five year contract that they won't re-sign one of the up and coming WRs to a second contract? Let's pretend that Dez wins the league MVP the next 3 years in a row. The Cowboys won't re-sign him? After all the decision has already been made, right?

That's just stupid.

great post! good research..
but I don't see us offering much for him. Dez is a Cowboy, and he will continue being that. there is no way that any coaches/GM's decides that they wont extend a contract years before it expires.. also, Dez got his heart in this.. he will be a leader on this team for a looong time, and I think that he will be a better player year after year. we know how high Jerry thought of him when he got drafted, he even got the #88 jersey.. no way that Jerry is looking for a replacement.

this is just more non true Cowboys rummors..

Great, now if we get Gordon people are going to flip about Dez. I think Slam put it best, how can you already make a decision on a guy just two years into his career? And lets not forget, its not like he had a bad year. 938 yards and 9 TDs is pretty good

I think you have to always consider talent. With the cheapness of rookie contracts now, especially a second round pick, cap wise you have to consider him. They might be looking at Gordon to play outside and move Austin in the slot in 3WR sets, plus if Austin's injuries continue or Bryant fails to master the finer aspects of the WR position, you could trade one of them. All I want for Jerry and Stephen to do is not feel than can submit a higher pick than Gordon's evaluation, since it's the supplemental, and they believe they can recoup the pick with a Jenkins trade.

As far as supposedly making up their mind on not giving Dez a second contract, I don't buy that for a minute. Jerry gave Sensabaugh and Scandrick much higher contracts than their performaces or the market warranted, so I don't think giving bank to Dez scares him. Maybe Stephen is scared, but not Jerry.
