Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant says that he’s willing to sit out until he gets a long-term deal. However, Owner/President/General Manager Jerry Jones is taking a stance as he did with DeMarco Murray, who left town faster than everyone expected.
Bryant, who the team wanted to keep over their ex-back, is currently under a franchise tag. Murray left the Cowboys and signed with their arch-rivals, the Philadelphia Eagles, for the 2015 season.
The talented receiver says $15 million is cool, but apparently, that’s not good enough for him. He truly doesn’t understand living like a poor individual, who struggles to make a living, or those living check by check.

The $15 million is more than any normal human will ever make outside of being an athlete. Most humans, depending on the type of job that they have, may make up to a million dollars in their lifetime.
However, they won’t be able to have it all at one time – like Bryant and other athletes – while they have to pay their bills each month, take care of their kids, or their other responsibilities. Athletes are able to throw their money to waste – at strip clubs, or on luxury items, which normal humans can only dream of.
He can continue to complain about the money because he has tons of it. But things will get real when he starts to miss those checks.
He may only be talking now – and get frustrated at things – but at the end of the day, he’s going to shut his mouth and take the money, because he knows he’s not going to flip burgers for a job ever in his life.
