RELEASED Dez Bryant has been released

[dagreat1_87]

not gonna lie. this one hurts. about as much as romo did

 

[Rayman70]

Effffin Stupid!

I am surprised somewhat. I thought we could get him 1 year more on a reduced deal. My guess is he said no.

Yet another player sacrificed to cover for Jason Garrett’s failings.

You have it about right. Not just Garrett though. They should clean house but, won't.

 

[G2]

Oh well. I think it was the wrong move.

Get ready for the "Dez would have caught that" posts on all incomplete passes.

We know that isn't a rational thought.

 

[Dwight]

I have mixed emotions about this.

It could backfire or be a blessing in disguise meaning Dez gets signed by another team and produces well and expose Jerry and Jason even more.

Or if Dez doesn’t produce well (with another team) this helps the organization out cap wise and proves the FO made the right decision.

 

[calico]

The writing was on the wall. The money saved made it a no brainer with this team’s cap situation. Good luck dez.

 

[KJJ]

Why are so many surprised?


:maury

Really, he’s been receiving nothing but hate since the end of the season with many wanting him gone but now that it appears they’ll be getting their wish fans are upset. What a strange crowd we have here.

They should have never gave him #88 when they drafted him.

Say what you want about his 2015+ play, but it's not like he was Antonio Bryant.
He holds the #1 spot for receiving touchdowns for the Cowboys. Not bad for a franchise that has been blessed with good receivers and QB's.

Better a year early than a year late.

 

[Miller]

Is a tweet from a DMN reporter allowed?

 

[Tabascocat]

Huge mistake! Now, Garrett gets another excuse......

 

[stiletto]

Like I've said, his contract was unsustainable at his production level. Love Dez but follow the money. Best of luck to him. Life goes on.

 

[Sydla]

Washington or Philly.

Philly doesn't have the space. They also are paying Jeffery a ton now too.

I am surprised somewhat. I thought we could get him 1 year more on a reduced deal. My guess is he said no.

I don't think he was ever even given the option to take a reduced salary. The F.O. made up their minds just like with Ware. At least they waited till Ware only had a couple of years left. Wait and see what Dez's career stats look like when he is 35.

 

[Sarek]

Dez is washed up, they knew it and that's why he's gone. From this point on Dez will decline until he retires.

 

[LittleD]

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees!!!!!!

The inevitable will come for Jason Garrett.

 

[dwreck27]

Shout out to everyone who said this wouldnt happen...

Business is business and if you ain’t producing why act surprised when you get axed

 

[Big_D]

Honestly the saints probably make the most sense. They're contenders, have a great QB and Thomas still on a rookie deal.
