The Dallas Cowboys' timing of the release of Dez Bryant earlier this month was "as good a time as any from the end of the season," team owner Jerry Jones said Tuesday.
At the team's pre-NFL draft news conference, Jones was asked about the release of the Pro Bowl receiver who played for the Cowboys for eight seasons.
"I have no thoughts about the timing of when we decided to move on," Jones started. "For everyone concerned, that was as good a time as any from the end of the season."
Jones added that he didn't want to diminish the team's feelings about Bryant as a person or his past contributions to the team.
