Dallas Cowboys: Stephen Jones reiterates Dez Bryant is a distraction | Fort Worth Star-Telegram

Stephen Jones had no interest in clarifying or walking back comments he made on a team podcast about wide receiver Dez Bryant being a distraction earlier in the week.

The Dallas Cowboys executive vice president reiterated his criticism of Bryant, who has been known for his animated outbursts on the sidelines.

“Well, Dez is an emotional guy. He plays with emotion. That’s part of his game,” Jones said. “We work with him constantly on trying to really channel his energy in positive ways. I just think when he has those type of emotional roller coasters, I think at the end of the day he needs to understand that it does affect more than just Dez.
