Tony Romo confident over Dez Bryant contract with Dallas Cowboys

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo has revealed that he is confident Dez Bryant will sign a long-term contract with the club.

The 26-year-old and the NFC East side failed to come to a long-term agreement on a deal before free agency, leading the team to designate him with the franchise tag.

Dallas executive vice-president Stephen Jones conceded that there was a divide between the club and Bryant over a new deal, but Romo is optimistic that will change in the near future.

Romo told reporters: "The NFL is a business, it really is. You'll see that side sometimes, with DeMarco [Murray] leaving and Dez not being part of the off-season.

"I think it will work out with Dez."

Bryant recorded 88 receptions for 1,320 yards along with 16 touchdowns for the Cowboys last season.
