Jason Garrett was on a brisk walk across the parking lot to his room Wednesday afternoon to prepare for his opening speech to the team when Dez Bryant appeared around the corner of the building.
Bryant met the Cowboys in Oxnard rather than taking the flight from Dallas with the majority of his teammates. It was the first time he and Garrett had spoken in person since the receiver signed his five-year, $70 million contract.
“What the hell, good to see you, man,’’ Garrett said as he broke away from another conversation to give Bryant an enthusiastic embrace.
