For two weeks we have been hearing about Dez Bryant and the rumors of a incriminating video. Media outlets were in a frenzy trying to be the source that could get their hands on he video. Now that the hype has died down, it seems that there was no video and Dez Bryant was the center of an extortion plot but by who, and more importantly how are the Cowboys feeling about the whole situation?
Dez sent out this tweet earlier this week expressing his anger.
Dez Bryant is a restricted free agent and looking for a long-term deal with the Cowboys but it seems they are leaning towards only giving him the franchise tag. Dez camp believes the Dallas Cowboys could be pushing this story of the video to grab leverage and control in contract negotiations. Although the NFL is a business, I think it would be very shady of the Cowboys to do this and if it is true, they are risking a lot and could damage their relationship with Dez just to have it all blow up in their face.
