INDIANAPOLIS — Dez Bryant expressed his grievances on Twitter for the second time this week hours after Mike Florio of ProFootballTalk.com said in a KRLD-FM interview there are rumors of a troubling video tape involving the receiver that are affecting contracting negotiations with the Cowboys.

“Just quit with the b.s.,” Bryant, an impending free agent, wrote. “It’s clear as day what’s going on… I might need to do a exclusive interview about my life these past 5 years since the world is destined to know… I use to let people take advantage of my life now that I’m no longer allowing that to happen it seems to be a problem… I’m not ashamed of none of my past incidents because that’s what made me who I am today.”

Two high-ranking Cowboys officials said they have no knowledge of such a video. On Tuesday, Bryant used the same social media website to deliver a cryptic message, wishing the Cowboys had shown more loyalty to him. That dispatch came after the team’s executive vice president Stephen Jones said Dallas was “leaning” towards applying the one-year franchise tag to Bryant, a move that is expected to cost the team close to $13 million, before he enters free agency.

“We feel strong about him,” Jones explained. “We worked hard to do a long-term deal with him. And we’ll continue to work hard. If we don’t get one done, it just shows how much we care about him [because] we don’t want to expose him [to the open market].”

Mike Florio was wrong? I'm speechless.

 

[iceberg]

Funny how "video" surfaces now.

Souds like some awad is trying to mess w dez.

May or may not be wrong. Dez didn't exactly deny it. But it doesn't really matter. He is right about it being BS.

Yes he did. Not sure how you figure that.

[Danger]

As others have pointed out, the Cowboys wouldn't give Dez 13 mil guaranteed by franchising him if there was a video that had "Ray Rice effects".

 

[Dave_in-NC]

May or may not be wrong. Dez didn't exactly deny it. But it doesn't really matter. He is right about it being BS.

I don't think so either. That text almost looks like he has some complaining to do himself.

 

[Yakuza Rich]

I hope that when they find that it's not true that Dez sues Florio for slander.

The grief that the media gives this young man is disturbing.

Bryant has a history of problems at the mall, according to the police report, including an incident at a store where police had to intervene after the wide receiver cut in line and a parking citation for parking in the fire lane. Bryant was also involved in a "major disturbance" at one of the mall's restaurants with an unknown woman. Police were called, but both Bryant and the woman were gone before they arrived.

AUGUST 2011: Though rumors of a fight after a pre-season game at Cowboys Stadium with the mother of one of his two sons persist, no police report is filed.

JULY 2012: Dez is arrested and charged with a Class A misdemeanor of domestic violence after an incident in DeSoto in which he allegedly slapped his mother, Angela.

Just take your pick here. The second story has a timeline of events that is pretty scary.

The fact people take it as true is disturbing.

I don't care about a video, but The way Dez is responding in social media to contract negotiations is revisiting his immaturity, and I find it troubling and silly at this point in his development.

You have a point. I wouldn't call it silly but he needs to stay off social networking with the laundry.

I see where you're coming from but it would be difficult for anyone to keep their mouth shut when it seems people are just throwing mud about you to see if it sticks and then calling it journalism.

Especially in today's environment when the populous believes whatever they see on the boob tube or Internet.

News of today has degraded into sensationalist garbage and at some point they need to be called out on it.

Wow, way to bring up stuff from his first 2 seasons. How about the past 3? This guy came from nothing, literally, and people are surprised when he is surrounded by bad people and makes bad decisions? Give it a rest man. The guy deserves a pay day. i dont care about his past. My past is nothing to write home about, and people judge me on it, thats fine. But to slander a man based on his past with no proof is downright disgusting.

All I was pointing out was that he has a ton of incidents that could have been recorded when they occurred. The alleged video is being brought up from a timeframe that was "years ago".

I love Dez Bryant, I wear my 88 Bryant jersey on Sundays when I feel like he's going to have a huge game. (I have other ones of course)

But at the same time I also know that Bryant has a lot of baggage that the team has been willing to carry because he's a foundational piece of the team.

It can and has been dealt with by the Cowboys but the organization is not willing to pay more than the current franchise tag price because it's simply the right financial thing to correctly do considering the rest of the roster has to be paid for as well.

Bryant wants to paid handsomely, and that was evident when the Cowboys thought they had a deal done in late October and Bryant fired his agent Eugene Parker in response.
