Dez Bryant is the Cowboys all time TD pass catcher and that's saying a helluva lot with 3 HOF receivers that's been hear (Pearson) will be there very soon.

But Dez was surprisingly cut from team, to which he had to be steaming mad and felt let down with obvious resentments. But the reason why he was cut from Cowboys remain a subject of discussion even years later as Cowboys prepare to face Dez Bryant on Tuesday vs Ravens.

Speculation remained that Dez was on the obvious decline and could no longer gain the necessary separation to remain effective vs CBs. Even the more average ones were effectively shutting him down and he just wasn't making up the difference in his enormous contract.

Add to that there was rumored to have been some dissention in the locker room with Dez's personality that clashed with certain teammates and a concern that Bryant may have been too disruptive to Dak himself.

Zeke is not said to be anywhere near that demonstrative, or locker room disruptive. But there is obvious some concern that zeke could be on the decline himself. as he just doesn't provide the big splash game breaking plays he used to bring when he entered the NFL.

And like Dez, Elliott has his own enormous contract that the team invested in him. But I have to wonder if he could be on a course that the team has to decide if he's such on a decline that they have to take a different direction and release Zeke as well.
 
I doubt it. Dez was not only declining but conduct on the sideline was detrimental to the team trying to win the game.

It's really not saying a lot that Dez leads with TD's. It's a different era. This is a pass happy league that favors the offense.
 
Why would they cut him? It's not like this front office makes changes based on performance alone. These RKG's like to party with him after their losing efforts, makes them feel good.
 
Which is why u don’t draft a 1st round RB... and you definitely don’t sign them to a 2nd contract.... everyone remember this, cause it’ll come up again in less than 4 years.
 
How much will it affect the cap if they were to release him? Might be worse than keeping him.

He is definitely not the same RB but there might be reasons for that unknown to us. I recall talk that Emmitt was slowing down one season and he had an undisclosed ankle problem that had to be addressed that off season.

Elliott doesn't look out of shape, in fact I thought he looked ready to go coming into this season but he is not playing with the same snap he has had in the past. He was sick with a problem that can have a residual effect with some victims and I wonder if that is slowing him down?

He is not even in the discussion with the crap Bryant pulled during games and his actions actually turned teammates against him, I don't see that with Elliott. I don't think the owner's son and HC are going to be in Booger's ear about making the team "Dak friendly" by getting rid of his best friend on the team.

indeed accurate. Jerry just too proud and too invested with zeke and will try to ride it out for the next 2 years. But the front office knows zeke is now in bust territory and a big liability . But anyone who confronts jerry with this will be ostracized .

Huh?...….passion to win is detrimental to the team? Such a bad label and for T.O. when he was here. It's called the Fall Guy Nominee, much what we get each week for Jaylon & Zeke weekly.
 
Because they've done so much better without that "detrimental" conduct.


Yeah... Don't want guys like Dez who are all in on winning. I love this current crop of guys.. Just happy to be out there.
 
He will eventually break Emmitt's record and he'll do it in a Cowboys uniform but then Pollard will break his so it will be very short lived.

Dez didn't have leadership like this.....I get it.
