Dez Bryant won’t have to worry about showing up to Dallas Cowboys training camp without a long-term contract in his back pocket.

Bryant signed a five-year, $70-million contract that includes $43.5 million guaranteed, according to the Associated Press.

Earlier this week, the All-Pro wide receiver strongly hinted on Twitter that he would skip training camp if the Cowboys didn’t offer him a long-term contract instead of the one-year, $12.8-million offer he received under the team’s franchise tag.
