There might be a bit of trouble brewing for the Dallas Cowboys and Denver Broncos as both teams have franchised-tagged players looking for new deals.

According to NFL insider Adam Schefter, there's possible collusion between the Broncos and Cowboys in terms of trying to set the wide receiver market with Dez Bryant and Demaryius Thomas.

"NFLPA is reviewing information to determine whether there was collusion between the Denver Broncos and Dallas Cowboys on the unsettled contractual situations of franchise WRs Demaryius Thomas and Dez Bryant, per an NFLPA official." Schefter reported Friday afternoon. "The NFLPA believes the Broncos and Cowboys had contact about each players’ contract when the collective bargaining agreement prohibits such contact. The NFLPA now is trying to determine if collusion did occur and when to possibly file a claim. The deadline for the WRs to sign long-term deals is Wednesday of next week."

The Cowboys franchised tagged Bryant in March, but have until July 15 come up with a long-term contract offer for their star receiver. COO Stephen Jones has been adamant about the team wanting to wait until the receiver market gets reset before coming to terms with a new contract for Bryant.

"I think a lot people want to naturally assume it's a Dez Bryant-Cowboy issue." Jones said, back in May. "I think it's a bigger issue than that right now. There's three or four young receivers in this league other than Dez that are going to be looking for long term contracts."

One receiver Jones was referring to was Thomas of the Broncos who is also looking to get a new deal. Thomas, like Bryant, was franchise tagged in March but the Broncos have yet to reach an agreement on a long-term deal. The market has not been reset since Lions wide receiver Calvin Johnson's $113.45 million extension in 2012.

Broncos GM John Elway has been frustrated with Thomas and hasn't been confident about working out a new deal.

"To be dead honest with you, I see absolutely zero value in him being away from here -- zero value for him," Elway said back in April. "There's no value for him not to be here with his teammates. As far as negotiations and him getting a new deal, we'd like to get something done, but by him being away from here, there is zero value to us and to him.

"To me it makes no sense. That has no effect to anything as we're talking about trying to get a contract done with him, because that's ultimately what we'd like to do."

In short, the Broncos and Cowboys both want to keep their franchise-tagged players at reasonable pries. There is the possibility that the Broncos and Cowboys have been swapping ideas, notes with each other about setting the receiver market. This wouldn't be fair for players and could break some rules of the collective bargaining agreement.

Both players currently have a one-year, $12.8 million franchise tag offer. We'll monitor the situation as the July 15 deadline nears.
