Leaving as another legendary No. And the all-time franchise leader in touchdown catches. DezBryant 's best career plays with the DallasCowboys! In a three-year stretch , he recorded elite numbers with at least 88 catches, 1, receiving yards, and 12 touchdown receptions.
His production during that stretch earned him three Pro Bowl selections, a First-Team All-Pro nod , and led the league in touchdowns catches once 16 in Although Bryant produced like an elite talent, his off-the-field decisions led to Jerry Jones and the Cowboys to place restrictions on him.
Beyond the tremendous production that Dez Bryant experienced during his tenure with the Cowboys, he also had some off-the-field issues. The situation may not be that dire, but he's simply too talented to fall through the cracks. Bryant signed his deal before the new CBA was ratified, so maybe there's a clause within his contract that allows the team to release him if his problems persist.
Should the Cowboys look at redoing Bryant's deal to absolve themselves of financial responsibility if Bryant's problems get worse?
While I believe this would be a good business move for the team, I seriously doubt this is feasible or that Bryant's camp would go for this.
I only see this happening is Bryant goes by way of Pacman Jones. If he decides to involve himself in a gas station shooting or make it rain in a strip club, Bryant should be fine.
How bad would the Cowboys like to see Bryant succeed personally to sacrifice success on the field? Simply put, are they willing to cut his playing time to send a message?
I don't mean not starting him for the first three minutes of the first quarter. I mean really slashing his time on the field by sitting him for a certain number of games or only allowing him to play for 25 snaps per game. If it gets to the point where the team has to cut his playing time, it may be best for Bryant to be released.
There were marketing checks, he says, that he never received, and believes Wells pocketed. By Dallas Cowboys standards, that makes him a saint. This is the team, after all, that went out last spring and signed Greg Hardy, a player who beat and choked a woman. The charges were later dismissed. Wells denies any wrongdoing. He then became a private eye specializing in rounding up witnesses for trial.
This connected him with judges and prominent lawyers like state Sen. West also represented Irvin and Bryant in their legal troubles. In short order, Wells was rolling around town in a Navigator with vanity tags that said bail me. In two conversations lasting a total of an hour and a half, we went point for point through his dealings with Bryant.
Bryant took a bank loan from Chambers Bank to pay that off. This, then, is the man the Cowboys turned to in when Bryant was arrested for pushing his mother. For the next two and a half years, Bryant paid and seethed, counting down the days till his Dallas deal ended and he could fire Wells — who says he still works with the Cowboys.
Then someone turned the dog whistle of race up till it was practically deafening. Bryant had a hunch where all this came from. In my last call to Wells, I asked if he had leaked the story, either to the Joneses or to the media. He denied it, saying that if Bryant thought so, then so be it. Have you heard the call? Why was he staying at the team hotel and attending practices that first week? And just let Dave try to mess with Greg Hardy.
No progress, Tom Condon said with a sigh. In short, Jones had caved after having his bluff called. Bryant got off the phone with his agent at 3 a. They sat up laughing and crying till dawn, reliving their long, strange road out of Lufkin.
Dez Bryant has nothing to hide. Mark Seliger. W here Dez Bryant was raised, they call it the come-up — that Tupac-twisty climb from starveling to stardom, from rags-to-Rolls-Royce royalty. Newswire Powered by. Close the menu.
