    Cowboys exec: Dez Bryant couldn’t win one-on-one

    http://www.theredzone.org/Blog-Description/EntryId/69831/Cowboys-exec–Dez-Bryant-couldn-t-win-one-on-one

    While Tony Romo backs his former teammate, one Dallas Cowboys executive isn’t making Dez Bryant’s search for a new squad any easier, Kevin Patra of NFL.com reports.

    Cowboys vice president of player personnel Will McClay spoke Tuesday on ESPN 103.3 FM explaining one reason for cutting Bryant was the wideout’s diminished ability to beat his defender.

    “It was a collective deal,” McClay said, via Clarence Hill of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. “The (inability) to win one-on-one, to win downfield. There was inconsistency as well as some huge things in his play. So what’s best moving forward for Dez Bryant [and] the Cowboys, we just made that decision. It’s a production-based business.”

    Report: Not many teams interested in Dez Bryant at any price

    http://www.theredzone.org/Blog-Description/EntryId/69849/Report–Not-many-teams-interested-in-Dez-Bryant-at-any-price

    One day after scouting chief Will McClay cited an inability to win that his market is slow to non-existent after turning down a multi-year deal offer from Baltimore Ravens before the draft, Clarence Hill of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

    Bryant, 29, remains unsigned after being released by the Cowboys on April 13.

    Bryant reportedly turned down a three-year, $21 million deal from the Ravens in hopes of signing a one-year, prove-it deal with a preferred team of his choice. He wants the opportunity to be a free agent next season and hopefully secure another big contract after a strong bounce-back year in 2018.

    But according to ESPN, there has not only been no interest from teams in the NFC East, where he had hoped to land to see the Cowboys twice a year and make them regret their decision, but there also are not many teams interested in Bryant at all.

    More to the point, ESPN reports “far more” teams are unwilling to pay Bryant even the league minimum salary than there are teams that would consider signing Bryant for any contract.

    Bryant has not had 1,000 yards receiving since 2014 and blames his decline in production on injuries, a lack of focus and a predictable offense. He had 69 catches for 838 yards and six touchdowns in 2017.
