Factually this is true.
Dez Bryant last elite year was 2014. A combination of injuries and poor play led him to be more of an average WR than a true #1, so I am not sure why people are so upset about these comments from Jones.
Last week, owner and general manager Jerry Jones said on 105.3 The Fan that that move would not be in the best interest of the team. On Tuesday, Jones told the Cowboys’ flagship radio network that the team has not had a No. 1 receiver in “several years.”
the Cowboys released Bryant in April in part because he was due to make $12.5 million in 2018 and had not produced at the level that earned him a $70 million contract in 2015 following three straight seasons in which he had at least 88 catches for at least 1,200 yards and 12 touchdowns.
“I’m basically giving you my definition of a No. 1 receiver, and it is Julio Jones. It is the guy we played the other night [DeAndre Hopkins],” Jones told the station. “Those are the guys. There’s not but about a handful of those in the NFL.”
Dez hasn’t tweeted about the comments yet, but did tweet about how he believes he wasn’t the problem with Cowboys.
Flip the pages for those tweets and video.
