Dez Bryant seen as 'distraction' on Cowboys' sidelines

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant's behavior on the sidelines "can be a distraction," said team Executive Vice President Stephen Jones.

What It Means:

Jones referred to Dez as a "fiery guy" whose "emotion both on and off the field" is not only a distraction for the passionate receiver, but for teammates as well. Jerry's son added that Bryant and Dak Prescott's chemistry is "a work in progress" and that the Cowboys "just have to really get our hands around, when you put all the full body of work together, where that's headed.” At 29, coming off one of his least productive campaigns and owed $12.5 million in 2018, it sounds like Bryant may not be back in Dallas next season.

Dez averaged 9.5 FanDuel points in 16 games this season, with 69 receptions for 838 yards and 6 touchdowns on 132 targets.
