SAN ANTONIO -- Dez Bryant isn't buying into the rookie hazing so far, and that could be costly for him. Veteran Roy Williams ordered the rookie to carry his shoulder pads after practice. Bryant is refusing.

"I'm not doing it, because I feel like I was drafted to play football, not carry another player's pads," Bryant said. "If I was a free agent, I'd still say the same thing. I just feel like I'm here to play football. I'm here to try to help win a championship, not carry another man's pads. I'm not saying that out of disrespect."

Williams said Bryant would pay for his refusal to carry on a rookie tradition at Cowboys camp.

"He's kind of ornery right now," Williams said. "He doesn't want to carry the pads. He said that's our pads and we should take them in the locker room.... If not, we'll go to step two."

And step two is?

"We'll find out; we're definitely going to find out," Williams said. "I've seen guys take people's credit cards and go fill up their cards and wives' cards. There's a lot of dirt that goes on in that locker room." Williams said he carried pads and paid for meals when he was a rookie with the Lions.

"I did everything I was supposed to do, because I didn't want to be that guy," Williams said.

If Bryant didn't like this idea I wonder what he will be thinking when they tape him to the goal posts later on?

Honestly I can respect that. Who cares. Bryant is already a better WR than Williams will ever be and he hasn't played a down yet. I'd tell him to fug off too.

It's not a Dez Bryant / Roy Williams thing, it is an NFL thing that has been going on for years!

      The Case for(or Against) Drafting/Signing a TE

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      I'm honestly looking beyond DC at this point. He's too green and is making too many simple mistakes. I think he's gone after next year. I think the intention in LV was to use Mayer and Bowers similar to Gronk/Hernandez in NE. That's never really struck me as Carroll's MO though after watching him for years out here in Seattle.  He's talented enough and I think he just got lost behind the phenom that is Bowers because he couldn't develop in Carroll's system. I'm surprised Bowers is used as much as he is, though they really don't have anyone else. TE's don't really exist as focus receivers in Carroll's offense. I live in the PNW so I've been subjected to a lot of Seahawks football.  Coaches other utilize their TEs. We should too. Tremble is OK, but he's always been a project as a receiver. Again, all this is of we could get him at the right price. I wouldn't pay a lot because we need to spend on defense.

      David. Hey, money talks.....it has been acknowledged that Tepper isn't shy on spending. He's had the NFL equivalents of used car salesman after used car salesman line up to grift him of a big chunk. Canales is one of them.  Until that changes, it's gonna be tough to build anything to last.

      Well it's who they tied themselves to for at least another year but i agree. They will be lucky to find a useful contributor but until I see the DC situation change I am presuming it's SSDD. Well it sounds like maybe in 2027.
