Dez Bryant closer to a return to Dallas

Dez Bryant could be back with the Dallas Cowboys, as the team extended a $12.8 million franchise tag to the star WR. The Cowboys still have until July 15th to extend a long-term contract to Bryant and a team would have to sacrifice two first round picks if they sign the restricted free agent. (ESPN)

Fantasy Impact:

The Cowboys are trying their hardest to have Bryant financially fit on the team. They have expressed an interest in signing Bryant long-term, but they have other issues to address. DeMarco Murray and Rolando McClain are major free agents as well and the Cowboys are trying to keep their roster together from a 12 win team. Bryant had his best season in 2014, leading the NFL with 16 TDs and becoming a big part of the running game as well. He has come under fire with legal issues recently, but that is not holding the Cowboys back from pursuing the superstar WR.
