The Cowboys star is on the market.. can the Chargers keep up with the Joneses? Today the Dallas Cowboys surprised the football world by releasing Dez Bryant, their star WR. Those who have been following the developing story might not find it surprising, but this was a true darned-if-you-do darned-if-you-don’t scenario for the Cowboys.
Bryant’s future had been the swirling story of the Cowboys’ offseason because of his $12.5 million base salary and $16.5 million salary-cap figure, which would have been the second-highest in the league among receivers.
