Dez tweets to fans

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, who led the NFL with 16 touchdowns receiving, has a one-year offer of $12.8 million under the franchise tag. Because he hasn’t signed a contract, Bryant can’t be fined for missing camp. He would lose about $750,000 for each regular-season game he skipped. “As much as I love football … I apologize #cowboynation but I will not be there if no deal,” wrote Bryant, who skipped offseason workouts and has said he would consider missing games. – AP
