Dez, Yeah let's go get Dez!

[Scottemojo]

This is nothing more than a rumor. The only thing on NFL.com is this from 2011:

http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap300000 ... rust-in-wr

the "national sun times" is the only place I've seen this other video mentioned.

The story I read yesterday was Rapaport on NFL.com. Based on very little, to be sure.

"I found six instances of police coming to Dez Bryant's house -- that's where he lives, in DeSoto.

Among the incidents -- and none of these were convictions --

there was a harassment incident,

there was a robbery at his house,

the fire department had to come and unlock his car that had a sleeping baby inside."

Like I said, to me it feels like the NFL is helping Jones try and reduce the asking price for Dez. Because those stories are nothing.

The timing of all this, just before Dez hits free agency, and just after they announce they will franchise Murray, is beyond suspicious to me.

When did the Cowboys announce they were franchising Murray? I know the fake Schefter account annouced it, but I haven't seen a legitimate source say anything (and I did a google search).

I heard it on Sirius NFL radio a couple days back, which doesn't make it true.

They didn't.

All rumors have been Dez is getting the franchise and Murray still in negotiations for new deal. It'd be a bungle of biblical proportions for the Cowboys to let either of these guys escape Dallas.

It hasn't been reported anywhere else.

I like your Dez theory. It fits well with reports that Jerry Jones has been lowballing Bryant for months. But there is a hole in that theory and it's a big one. It's not the NFL or the Cowboys that made this story a story. This is a story because there is a tape that exists and some of Dez's former friends want to make money off of it. That it benefits Jerry is a side-tangent, but not the actual cause.

How do the Cowboys have the cap space for both?I don't see it..

The Cowboys have 18M of cap space, so they could do it.

http://overthecap.com/salary-cap-space/

Right now the projected franchise tag for WR's is 12.8M, so if they franchise Dez and come up with a long term deal with Murray with a low cap hit for the first couple of years, definitely doable.

Also my guess is if they're even close they would cut more players to free up space.

If they've known about this since September or whatever, why would they go around suggesting they would franchise Dez and that he is a priority over Murray ALL SEASON. At no point have they suggested that getting Dez on a long term deal isn't their priority.

I think this is probably a total fabrication.

I don't think the Cowboys org is in on this at all, and I am a self confessed Jerruh hater.
I think if Jerruh could buy the video and end this he would. ....and yes I think there is a video, and I think it is damning. Will it get out who knows. Dez has a history of domestic abuse (see when assaulted his own mother).

Dez also pretty much confirmed there was something out there when he tweeted he had be "betrayed" by former friends.

Dez is lucky that the league didn't hammer him after the assault on his mother.

Lucky he's not Aaron Hernandez. His "friends" just would have been used for target practice.

True. I don't think Dez is on the AH level of scumbag, but anyone that has a history of beating up women is a scumbag.

What the hell is a scumbag anyway? A receptacle for floating detritus?

Dez's Walmart indiscretion must not have been too bad, the Cowboys just franchised him.

Which should have surprised nobody. Smart money says they let Murray test free agency also.

That's the only thing they could do. If they didn't do that, cut him and the tape doesn't come out they are fools, if they sign him to a long term deal and the tape comes out they are fools. This was the safest route.

If Dez really did do something horrible, I hope the video comes out right after he signs a fat contract with the Cowboys.

Now that's just evil...I like it! :twisted:

 

[hawksurething]

Dez is not psycho. This is how the media paints players. If you look into the so called incidents.... You'll FIND OUT the police report says no foul play. ( Dez might do something wrong again,he is young dumb & full of ...). Most of us did bad in our youth. Its the American way ! Heck even our government is corrupt,so you know the citizens follow suit

The media comes after Lynch because of his past incidents with the police too,yet they don't go this far trying to make new stuff up against Dez who the police report say he did no wrong ! (Why don't the media come After Big Ben like this making new stuff up ?) Hum ?

If you have an answer ? Then answer. Otherwise I say go get DEZ while teams think he is still a bad boy like they thought Lynch was
