Schefter confirms rumor of Dez Bryant video
Asked about the rumors of a Dez Bryant video, Schefter said (measuring his words very carefully) that he has heard about the video and that he knows what’s on it.
“
I’ve been working on this since September,” Schefter said. “There’s a lot involved.”
Schefter also said he doesn’t know whether the video will come out.
“It’s taken up a lot of my time this season,” Schefter added, explaining that what he’s been working on isn’t ready and may never be.
Since Friday, it’s definitely taken up plenty of my time. I’ve spent lots of time on the phone trying to determine whether the video exists, and I’ve submitted a request under the Texas Public Information Act to the appropriate agency, with the goal of getting the video (if it exists) and any related documents (if they exist).
Primarily, the goal is to get a clear answer on this, one way or the other. If there’s a video, the Cowboys and the NFL need to know about it, and to act accordingly based on its contents. If there’s no video, then it’s better for Bryant if the situation comes to a head now. Otherwise, the rumor will linger — and it eventually will impact the offers that one or more teams are willing to extend to him.
I talked about the situation at the outset of Wednesday’s
PFT Live on NBC Sports Radio, and several other times throughout the program. My understanding is that the incident (if there was one) happened in 2011, and that the video (if there is one) may contain footage of someone other than Dez Bryant.
