The debate as to whether he's worth the baggage takes place before he's drafted. The red flag were there, and everyone should have gone into it with eyes wide open given his background. You don't draft him unless you're prepared to deal with bumps in the road. It's not a huge shock he woudn't handle his money wisely when he's basically lived homeless his entire life. It's not a huge shock his nightmare of a mother would be a constant source of chaos/drama once Dez brought money into the family dynamics equation. This baggage was the price of getting an elite talent at the end of the 1st round. If you don't have the stomach for it, pass on him and take a lesser talent like Arrelious Benn or Jered Odrick or Dan Williams with that pick. Once you draft him you got to put on your big boy pants and be prepared for the good and the bad.
When he's committed some sort of felony or becomes some sort of greater menace to society, then that's another conversation. But at this point there is nothing good that can come to Dez the football player, Dez the human being or the Cowboys organization by releasing him for stuff that was entirely foreseeable and frankly rather benign. That's reality. The only ones who are naive about this are the ones who thought he could come from that background and go mistake free for the rest of his life simply because he put on the blue and silver, and are now dismayed to find out otherwise.
