The Facts:
HC Jason Garrett does not believe that
talks about a contract extension will distract Bryant. Garrett invoked a former teammate, Hall of Fame wide receiver Michael Irvin, when talking about Bryant's approach to the game as he enters the final year of his rookie contract. "He loves the game," Garrett said. "He has a great passion for the game. Contract aside, he's not worried about that. He's trying to get himself to be the best player he can be to help our team be the best it can be. He does it every day. He's really demonstrated some leadership qualities."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Garrett added: "I had the good fortune of playing with [Irvin] for eight years. Michael Irvin set the pace and the tempo for our team all throughout the '90s. He worked harder than anybody else. And Dez Bryant has a lot of those same traits. ..." Bryant is set to make $1.78 million this season. The Cowboys and his agent, Eugene Parker, have had some talks, but nothing is imminent. Bryant has said he wants to remain with the Cowboys, and the team does not want to let the star receiver go. Fantasy football owners will appreciate that. Bryant is coming off his first Pro Bowl season in 2013, when he caught 93 passes for 1,233 yards and 13 touchdowns.
