Dez Bryant attends Cowboys OTAs despite not signing contract

Dez Bryant showed his dedication to his team by attending Dallas Cowboys OTAs on Thursday despite not currently being under contract with the franchise.

The Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports that Bryant attended the final day of team OTAs and participated in individual drills but not team or group drills.

Bryant has not signed his franchise tag tender from the team in hopes of reaching a long-term contract. The deadline for that is July 15.

There have been multiple reasons given for the sides failing to reach agreement on a long-term deal, ranging from issues within Bryant’s circle to rumors about a video. So far, nothing has happened.

You really have to admire Bryant’s leadership and work ethic. While guys like DeSean Jackson are missing OTAs to attend NBA games and Adrian Peterson is skipping because of a contract dispute, Bryant is still showing up. You have to respect his commitment.
