Dez Bryant’s may have more than contract problems to deal with if a video clip reportedly "five times worse than the Ray Rice video" is released. Word is the Dallas Cowboys star's entire NFL career could be in jeopardy if the video he allegedly appears in is as bad as the rumors imply.
The rumored clip of Bryant doing something ‘Ray Rice-worthy’ has reportedly stalled his contract negotiations with the Dallas Cowboys and, according to Terez Owens, a “source” has informed them the “incriminating video of Dallas Cowboys superstar receiver Dez Bryant is being released today or tomorrow” is to blame.
The Owens site reported:
THE INCRIMINATING VIDEO OF DALLAS COWBOYS SUPERSTAR RECEIVER DEZ BRYANT DOING SOMETHING SUPPOSEDLY RAY RICE WORTHY IS BEING RELEASED TODAY OR TOMORROW. ACCORDING TO OUR SOURCE, THE COWBOYS HAVEN’T DONE A HUGE DEAL WITH DEZ BECAUSE OF CONCERN OVER THE VIDEO. UNFORTUNATELY BRYANT’S TEAM WON’T BE ABLE TO STOP THE TAPE FROM GETTING OUT TO THE PUBLIC. OF COURSE COWBOYS COO STEPHEN JONES DENIES KNOWLEDGE OF SUCH A VIDEO. THIS IS GOING TO BE A GAME CHANGER FOR THE COWBOYS FUTURE.
It was Later UPDATED: WE’RE BEING TOLD THE COWBOYS HAVE WARNED DEZ THE TAPE IS GOING TO BE RELEASED, AND FROM SOMEONE WHO HAS SEEN IT, THAT IT’S FIVE TIMES WORSE THAN THE RAY RICE VIDEO. HIS FOOTBALL CAREER IS IN JEOPARDY ACCORDING TO OUR SOURCE.
Mike Florio of ProFootballTalk.com said the Cowboys were afraid this “incident,” if released to the public, would have a “Ray Rice-type of an impact.” But, right now, it's all hearsay and there aren’t any details of what Bryant did.
Stephen Jones, the COO of the Dallas Cowboys, claims the rumors are untrue and that no such video exists. But if it is real and the footage gets released to the public, it could also have a huge impact on the NFL.
And Bryant? He tweeted this:
Given Dez's history, I don't doubt there could possibly be a video. He did get busted for assaulting his mother in Desoto, TX a few years ago. Also, taking that into consideration, and the fact it's been rumored his family is taking advantage of him (several living in his house), I'm going to guess he has one of those family members blackmailing him with a video of that incident (or possibly another). Since the living situation came out a few months ago, and the Cowboys management had been applying pressure to him, my guess is he's trying to break free of them, and in retalation the family member is threatening to release the video. If you read his tweet, he is alluding to this.
