Dez Bryant praises Cowboys fans, says release ‘wasn’t my decision’
Dez Bryant seemed to throw a little shade in the direction of the Dallas Cowboys after his release on Friday.
Minutes after being informed of his release by Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, Bryant took to Twitter to thank Cowboys fans for their support — and to make clear that his release was not his decision.
Cowboy nation I need you to know this wasn’t my decision.. I will always love y’all… forever Dallas in my heart

If you choose to read between the lines, it certainly seems possible that there’s a little bit of bad blood brewing here. Reports indicate that he wasn’t even asked to take a pay cut, though he may have declined to anyway. Combine that with the fact that he seemed to hint at getting revenge against Dallas on the field and you might be able to assume that Bryant has a bad taste in his mouth after being cut by the team.
