The Dallas Cowboys and their first round draft pick Dez Bryant have agreed to terms of a five-year contract that is worth $11.8 total with $8.5 of that guaranteed.

Bryant is a wide receiver that was chosen in the first round as the 24th draft pick overall in the 2010 NFL Draft back in April. Bryant, who was drafted from Oklahoma State, is the first player to sign with a team out of the first round draft picks.

The signing of Bryant comes just in time for him to be able to start training camp, which commences in San Antonio this Saturday, July 24. The Dallas Cowboys are the first NFL team to open their training camp this year. Bryant has been issued the Number 88 jersey, which was previously worn by Michael Irvin and Draw Pearson before that.

Bryant was named an All-American two years ago in 2008 at Oklahoma State for having 87 receptions for 20 yards short of 1,500 as well as 19 touchdowns. For his Oklahoma State career, he has recorded 29 touchdowns and 147 passes for a total of 2,425 yards. He played five games for the 2009 season prior to be suspended for lying about having a relationship with Deion Sanders, a well-known former NFL player and Hall of Famer, to the NCAA.

This contract agreement will probably start the domino effect and other players will get signed now that one has been signed so be on the lookout for all the top picks agreeing to deals with NFL teams to start being announced left and right.
