Dallas Cowboys vice president Stephen Jones is setting himself up to be the heavy in the looming decision on wide receiver Dez Bryant, Clarence Hill of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.
Or the “Dez situation” as he called it on the Hangin’ with the Boys podcast on the team’s website Monday _ given the veteran receiver’s advancing age, declining production, his distracting antics and his $12.5 million base salary for next season.
Jones readily acknowledges that some hard decisions regarding Bryant have to be made.
“The Dez situation has a lot of moving parts to it,” Jones said. “The chemistry between Dak and Dez is different between Tony (Romo) and Dez. Tony and Dez had their game tailored to one another. Dak doesn’t play the way Tony played. It hasn’t hit on all cylinders on how the connection works. It’s a work in progress.”
"The other thing that we all see and it is certainly visible to anyone who watches our games, watches our sideline, is Dez is certainly a fiery guy who plays with a lot of emotion both on and off the field,” Jones said. “Sometimes that can be a distraction. It can be a distraction for Dez. It can be a distraction for other teammates."
