Dez Bryant is a top-three WR and wants to be paid like one. He is willing to take a franchise tag, but would also like a long term deal. (CBS Sports)

Fantasy Impact:

Dez Bryant has scored 41 touchdowns over the past three seasons and led the Cowboys to the playoffs this season with his 16 touchdown receptions; he would like the Cowboys to respect his play with a generous contract extension. He could make $12.7 million with a franchise tag, but seems to be more receptive to a contract with more years, even if it means less money per year. Bryant's attitude has been an issue in the past, but he has become a better teammate this year and a player worthy of an extension with his increased skills. On the Cowboys or not, Bryant should be one of the first five WR off the board next season and is a top-15 fantasy football target overall.
