Dallas Cowboys Assistant Director of Player Personnel Will McClay explained Tuesday the rationale behind releasing wide receiver Dez Bryant.
According to Clarence E. Hill Jr. of the Star-Telegram, McClay cited a drop-off in play during an interview for ESPN 103.3 FM: "It was a collective deal. The [inability] to win one-on-one, to win downfield. There was inconsistency as well as some huge things in his play. So what's best moving forward for Dez Bryant [and] the Cowboys, we just made that decision. It's a production-based business."
Dallas released Bryant on April 13 after eight seasons with the team.
