INDIANAPOLIS -- Dallas Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones said the club is leaning toward using the franchise tag on wide receiver Dez Bryant but is not in a hurry to do so.

The window to use the tag opened Monday, and the team must decide by March 2.

"Right now we're probably leaning that way," Jones said of using the tag on Bryant, who is an unrestricted free agent. "But that doesn't mean it won't change."

Because the NFL has not set the 2015 salary cap, the Cowboys do not know how much the tag will be or how much room they will have to spend. In all likelihood, the tag will be somewhere around $13 million for wide receivers.

"We'll probably wait 'til the midnight hour to make that decision," Jones said in a break between competition committee meetings at the NFL scouting combine.

Jones said the Cowboys have set up talks during the week with the agents for a number of their free agents-to-be, but nothing concrete has been set up with Kim Miale of Roc Nation and Tom Condon of CAA, who represent Bryant.
