As the shock is still wearing off that Dez Bryant is no longer a Dallas Cowboys player, it is time to examine why it happened and if it should have happened. The Cowboys front office certainly made a bold move, but was it the right move?
Before we go to deep into it, let’s dispense of one thing - the timing.
