Gets franchise tag
The Cowboys place the franchise tag on Bryant. While the tag secures Bryant’s rights for the 2015 NFL season, the Cowboys are working to sign Bryant to a long-term deal. If they are unable to do so, Bryant will be paid $12.823 million for the 2015 season. However, the Cowboys did not use the exclusive franchise tag on Bryant, so if another team signs him, then they will have to give up two first-round picks.
