Jones: Dez release in everybody's best interest, baffled by 'Garrett Guys' claim | Fort Worth Star-Telegram

Dallas Cowboys vice president Stephen Jones commented on the release of receiver Dez Bryant for the first time Tuesday.

Jones, speaking on 105.3 The Fan, said moving on from the team’s all-time leader in touchdown receptions was in the best interest of Bryant and the Cowboys.

“I think it's always difficult because Dez was an amazing player for us,” Jones said. “He helped us win a lot of football games. At the same time, these things happen in our business … We just felt like based on everything, that that was in the best interest for us was to give Dez the opportunity to kinda get a fresh start and for us to move on to the next chapter.
