The Dallas Cowboys are trying to work out a deal with star wide receiver Dez Bryant ahead of the franchise tag deadline. Bryant hadn’t signed his tag and was threatening to hold out, but in the final minutes it looks like the sides are about to come together and get a deal done.

According to NFL.com’s Ian Rapoport, the deal will be for five years and will get done ahead of the deadline.

CBS’ Jason La Canfora reported the same thing seconds later, corroborating Rapoport’s report.

Others are reporting that the deal is close as well.


It looks like Cowboys fans can breathe a sigh of relief.
