No contract talks, no Dez for Cowboys

Unhappy with the stale state of contract talks with the Dallas Cowboys, wide receiver Dez Bryant will not attend mandatory minicamp.

And Bryant’s agent, Tom Condon, told Sirius XM radio on Tuesday that his client said in recent talks that he is willing to sit out regular-season games.

Condon said there have been “no conversations” with the team about a long-term deal.

Coach Jason Garrett said Tuesday morning that Bryant confirmed he is not planning to be present for workouts. Bryant, tagged as the team’s franchise player before free agency began in March, was hopeful the two sides could reach a long-term deal.

Bryant has not signed his one-year, $12.8 million tender and the deadline for the sides to agree to a new contract is July 15.

There is no urgency on the Cowboys’ side, and owner and general manager Jerry Jones has said as much.

That stance rankled Bryant, who said via Twitter that the potential for him to miss game action this season while holding out is “legit.”

Garrett said he is not as certain about running back Darren McFadden, who had hamstring issues during voluntary workouts, or backup Ryan Williams. Garrett said it’s important for both players to stay in the mix.

“We want guys to practice. Practice matters. Practice is important. It’s one of the things we pride ourselves on,” he said.

Inside linebacker Rolando McClain, who re-signed as an unrestricted free agent, was back in team workouts after sitting out the voluntary portion recovering from minor knee surgery, Garrett said. However, McClain will not be asked to “do anything rigorous” this week.
