Regardless of how serious may have been his intent last Christmas Eve when Earl Thomas went to the Dallas locker room and told coach Jason Garrett to “come get me,’’ the moment made clear that Thomas might someday like to play for the Cowboys.
And the odds of that happening as soon as this season may well have increased on Friday when Dallas released receiver Dez Bryant.
It was reported that Bryant will be released immediately (meaning, not with a June 1 designation) which will save the Cowboys roughly $8.5 million in cap space for 2018.
