IRVING, Texas -- Forgive me, but why should the Dallas Cowboys shut down Dez Bryant for the season?
He’s healthy. He should play. As Bill Parcells once said, “Football players play football during football season.”
And he needs to play.
Bryant’s season has gone poorly with just 27 catches for 351 yards and two touchdowns in eight games. He wasn’t himself in the regular-season opener against the New York Giants, and he hasn’t been himself since breaking his foot against the Giants.
Stephen Jones expressed regret at how the Cowboys handled the Bryant negotiations two weeks ago in an ESPN.
