Dez Bryant certainly has found an interesting way to fill his free time.
The former Cowboys receiver, who is currently looking for a new team after being released in April, went off on his former employer and ex-teammates in a Twitter rant Friday night.
Bryant responded to a tweet from SiriusXM NFL radio referencing an interview Cowboys executive VP Stephen Jones gave Friday. Jones, son of owner Jerry Jones, said Bryant and Jason Witten (neither of whom is with Dallas anymore) constantly wanting the ball and getting in Dak Prescott’s ear contributed to the QB’s poor 2017. The tweet only mentioned Bryant by name.
“Here we go with that scapegoat s—,” Bryant wrote on Twitter.
He went on to blame “garbage ass playcalling” for the Cowboys’ problems.
Shortly after, Bryant blamed center Travis Frederick and linebacker Sean Lee for his release after eight seasons in Dallas. The three-time Pro Bowler did so while responding to a separate tweet that called Jones clueless and questioned the Cowboys’ playcalling.
Sean LeeAP“He’s not clueless. Jerry [Jones] was the only one who was clueless. [Stuff] was a planned to get me out ask Travis and my brother snake Lee I mean Sean Lee,” Bryant wrote.
Bryant went on to write in another tweet, when asked about Lee, that “he suppose to been my brother” and that the nine-year veteran was the “first to know” that Bryant was cut.
“I find out he was also behind it,” Bryant said.
Lee was asked about Bryant’s comments at Cowboys training camp.
He said he “did butt heads” with Bryant because he wanted him to be “more accountable to this team and his teammates.” Lee called the idea of him being able to force a player’s release as “absurd.” Fredrick told reporters that you are “going to have to search long and hard before you find a fifth-year player that makes personnel decisions.”
