DALLAS, June 28 (UPI) -- The Dallas Cowboys' top playmaker isn't trying very hard to keep a low profile amid contract talks.

Dez Bryant, who is seeking a long-term deal, has until July 15 to agree to terms with the Cowboys. The two parties met Friday for the first time in four months, according to ESPN.

This weekend Bryant was flipping, literally, during Dallas Mavericks star Dirk Nowitzki's charity baseball game. Bryant was captured by several photographers performing a backflip after making a catch in the outfield.

Bryant sent out a tweet on June 17, saying the $13 million franchise tag tender he was offered, didn't offer "security."

The 26-year-old led the NFL with 16 touchdowns and had 88 receptions and 1,320 yards last season. In five seasons in Dallas, Bryant has 56 touchdowns, 609 receptions, and 5,424 yards.

If Bryant holds out of week 1, it would cost him about $752,941, according to the team's official website.
