Releasing Bryant was 'Jerry Jones' decision'

ESPN's Todd Archer explains there were no talks of a pay cut for Dez Bryant, as Jerry Jones' plan was just to release him.

Any chance the Dez situation has the makings of a @Patriots 1 year "prove it" deal to give him a chance at a ring and increase his value for next offseason @MikeReiss?

John, while the Patriots have a good number of receivers on their current roster, part of the reason they manage their salary cap with such discipline is to be well positioned to take advantage of unexpected opportunities.
