Dez Bryant wants respect from Dallas Cowboys

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant has warned the franchise to show him the respect he deserves as he looks to sign a contract extension.

Bryant is in the final year of his rookie contract and he has previously insisted that he deserves to be one of the three highest-paid receivers in the NFL.

"It's all about respect. It's all about respect. I am a very loyal person, but just don't test my loyalty," Bryant told the media.

The 26-year-old had hoped to sign an extension before the season started but the two parties were unable to come to an agreement.

Since the start of the 2012 season, Bryant ranks first in the NFL in touchdown catches with 33, fourth in receiving yards with 3,408 and fifth in receptions with 241.
