Dez Bryant blasts Cowboys for Andy Dalton deal: 'Extremely out of line'


The Dallas Cowboys made NFL waves on Saturday night when it was reported that the team had come to an agreement for a one-year deal with quarterback Andy Dalton.

Dalton, who will presumably back up Dak Prescott, will make $3 million in base salary with up to $7 million factoring in incentives, per USA TODAY Sports’ Mike Jones.

The internet went wild with the news, not only because the internet always goes wild with Cowboys news, but because team owner/GM Jerry Jones was able to get a contract done with Dalton, but hasn’t been able to do so with his starting QB Prescott yet.

Pundits immediately started speculating that Dalton’s signing was a way of possibly getting leverage over Prescott in contract negotiations. Others argued that Dalton is a Texas native, a good backup available, and the Cowboys were simply making a football decision.

Regardless, former Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant took to Twitter to voice his concerns about the deal, and the message it sent to Prescott.

Nothing against Andy dalton because I think he’s a great player..but the cowboys are extremely out of line… Pay Dak… I watched the cowboys pay Tony Twice once without a winning rec… I guess the cowboys viewing the QB position a plug in piece because of the dominant offense

When a reporter noted that he was told that the Dalton deal wasn’t meant to be perceived as a threat to Dak, Bryant dismissed it.

I was told a lot of things before and things ended up False… Dalton has been a starter damn near his whole career..: https://t.co/Y4fra61xFx
