Cowboys expected to release WR Dev Bryant today, barring an unexpected last-minute change of heart, per @toddarcher and me. But the plan going into meeting that is now underway was to part ways with Bryant.

Dallas had originally planned to keep Bryant for at least one more season but ultimately decided that he wasn't worth the price of his hefty contract. They also did not offer him a pay cut.
According to ESPN's Todd Archer, the Cowboys did not designate him as a post-June 1 cut and will save $8 million against the cap this season.
