Cowboy WR Bryant threatening to sit out

IRVING, Texas — Dez Bryant is sending another signal that he won’t play for the Dallas Cowboys without a long-term contract.

The unsigned All-Pro receiver posted a message on Twitter to Dallas fans Monday, apologizing while saying he “will not be there” if he doesn’t have a new deal by Wednesday’s deadline.

Bryant has a one-year offer of $12.8 million under the franchise tag. Because he hasn’t signed, Bryant can’t be fined for missing camp, which starts July 30. He would lose about $750,000 for each regular-season game he skipped.
