Why is this coming out now? Dez Bryant wants to get paid and the Cowboys are nervous about giving him huge guaranteed money because they think he is unstable. While publicly the Cowboys always say positive things about Dez, privately they still are babysitting a 26-year-old man. At this point in his life Dez Bryant is who he is, so if it is going to blow up, it is going to blow up, if he truly has changed his actions will reflect that.
I understand the Cowboys wanting to protect themselves and I understand Dez wanting to get paid like an elite receiver. The question begs can they find a middle ground or is this situation just going to get worse?
Time will tell.
