On Thursday night, Cowboys executive vice president, COO, and owner's son Stephen Jones likely added more fuel to the fire.Jones acknowledged Bryant's competitivene s, but also again seemed to be laying groundwork to support the idea that Bryant's recent production Cincinnati Bengals Jersey has not matched his salary. Stephen Jones on Dez Bryant: No one wants to compete & get after it more than Dez. At the same time, we all know this is a busine s where everyone had to be accountable...Were going to be grinding it out trying to understand what is in our best interests of our busine s. David Moore (@DavidMooreDMN) Dez is set to count for $16. Dre Kirkpatrick Jersey 5 million against the Cowboys' salary cap in 2018, and the team could save $8.5 million in space by cutting him before June 1, and $12.5 million by designating him a post-June 1 release.

Dez has played only 38 of 48 games since 2015, averaging 63 catches for 857 yards and seven scores per-16 games.

Unle s they upgrade significantly in free agency or the draft, it's difficult to see them moving on from Dez and also not experiencing even more pa sing game i sues than they did during the second half of the 2017 season.
