After Sunday's loss to San Francisco, Dez Bryant confirmed that he will be tabling contract talks until after the season.

The Dallas Cowboys and their star wide receiver were unable to come to an agreement before Week 1, so Bryant is choosing to only concentrate on football.

"Well, we're certainly concentrating on several other things," Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones said Friday on 105.3 The Fan [KRLD-FM]. "That's there. That's not hard to be thinking about as we move along through the season. But I really don't think it's a daily priority as opposed to getting ready to play in Nashville or getting ready to play football games in the season.

"I think that's what it says, more than anything. The priority, now that we're in the games, is certainly shifting to practicing and getting ready to play this coming weekend."

Bryant is in the final year of his rookie contract. If the Cowboys are unable to reach an agreement in the off-season, they could choose to use the franchise tag.
