Breakdown: The Cowboys have five primetime games and will play on the road against the Cardinals on Christmas night. They open against Donovan McNabb and the Redskins at FedEx on Sunday, Sept. 12, on NBC. That is one of the most attractive opening-week matchups I can remember.

The Cowboys only have back-to-back games on the road once this season. We already knew the Cowboys were going to have one of the toughest schedules in the league, but a brutal finishing stretch makes it even tougher. The Thanksgiving Day game will feature the defending Super Bowl champion Saints coming to Cowboys Stadium.

The Cowboys finally played better in December in '09, but it will be even tougher this season. It's a stretch that begins with the AFC champion Colts and includes three division games. You'd be hard-pressed to find a tougher schedule in the league.

Complaint department: Well, as we've already said, the Cowboys will be on the road for Christmas Day. That game will be on the NFL Network. I'm sure every Cowboys player (and their families) groaned after seeing that game. The aforementioned December stretch would be the biggest complaint for the Cowboys, though. You travel to Indianapolis to begin things Dec. 5 and then you host back-to-back games against the Eagles and Redskins.

After the Christmas game, you close on the road in Philly. The NFL schedule czar must laugh every time he gets to this matchup. This is the third straight season, so it looks like we've established a tradition. It's unbelievable that the Cowboys won't see the Eagles until December. How tough is that assignment? We'll have to see how Kevin Kolb starts out to answer that question. I'm sure the Cowboys hate having a bye in Week 4. You'd rather have that about two or three weeks later.

Most-appealing matchup: I love the opener against the Redskins, but the Saints Thanksgiving game is the most appealing in my book. Sending the Raiders to Cowboys Stadium on Thanksgiving was an absolute joke. Both of these teams should be in the Super Bowl conversation in 2010. It will also be interesting to see how the Cowboys fare in back-to-back road games against the Packers and Giants in November. That's a pretty salty two-week stretch.

First-rounder Bryant, Cowboys agree


The Dallas Cowboys announced they agreed to terms with first-round pick Dez Bryant on Thursday.

The deal is for five years and $11.8 million, with $8.3 million guaranteed, a source said. The wide receiver received $2.5 million to sign and will earn a base salary of $320,000 this year. He also has bonuses tied in to playing time.

Eugene Parker, Bryant's agent, said some of the language of the contract is still being worked out.

Bryant, the 24th pick of the draft, is expected to report on time for Cowboys training camp on Saturday in San Antonio.

"This was very important to me to be able to get this done in time for the first practice," Bryant said in a statement released by the team. "I want to help this team. I want to compete. I can't wait to start playing football again."

Bryant becomes the first first-round pick to agree to a contract, coming to terms before St. Louis Rams quarterback Sam Bradford, the No. 1 overall pick.

"It was important to get Dez in on time," Cowboys vice president Stephen Jones said. "We think he can be helpful to us. He knows we have a good football team and we're counting on him to be a big part of it."

The Bryant deal is a relief for the Cowboys because there was speculation he would not make it into camp on time. Parker had worked deals with previous Cowboys first-round selections Mike Jenkins and Felix Jones, who reported late.

Last season, Michael Crabtree, a client of Parker's, didn't sign his deal with the San Francisco 49ers until October.

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones was assured by Parker that if he drafted Bryant, he would avoid a long, drawn-out contract process.

"It helped to have a sense of urgency because it made the deal get done," Parker said. "Jerry and Stephen and I have a relationship of trust in doing deals and we give each other the benefit of doubt."

Bryant played only three games for Oklahoma State last season, then was dogged by all sorts of questions about his integrity, starting with an NCAA suspension for lying to investigators about a meeting with former Cowboys star Deion Sanders.

There was talk of him skipping meetings and classes, and being late to games. There were concerns about his mother's private life, enough that Miami Dolphins general manager Jeff Ireland asked if she ever was a prostitute. After Bryant skipped the NFL combine and held his own pro day, there were whispers that he forgot to bring the right cleats.

But the Cowboys did their homework and wanted Bryant so badly that when they saw him slipping in the draft, they moved up three spots to No. 24 and nabbed him. Jerry Jones gave Bryant No. 88, the jersey worn by Hall of Famer Michael Irvin and, a generation earlier, by Drew Pearson.

Irvin was Troy Aikman's favorite target, and Pearson was Roger Staubach's favorite target. With this deal done, it won't be long before Tony Romo starts his relationship with Bryant, perhaps adding them to that list.

"It was really important that we get him working and in the groove with Tony and our offense, and I think he understood that," Stephen Jones said.

Romo liked what he saw from Bryant over the summer -- and from what the kid did in college.

Bryant was an All-American in 2008 at Oklahoma State when he had 87 receptions for 1,480 yards and 19 touchdowns. In 27 games at Oklahoma State, Bryant had 147 catches for 2,425 yards (16.5 yards per catch) and 29 touchdowns. He also returned 22 punts for a 19.6-yard average and three TDs.

The only draft pick yet to agree with the Cowboys is second-rounder Sean Lee, a linebacker from Penn State. The Cowboys expect to finalize his deal Friday.

"I'll be surprised if [Lee] misses anything," Stephen Jones said.
