Jerry Jones: Dez Bryant can still make ‘significant contribution’ to NFL team

Jerry Jones may have released Dez Bryant, but the Dallas Cowboys owner still thinks the wide receiver has a lot to offer someone else.

Jones said Wednesday that he remains a believer in Bryant, and he thinks the receiver could make a “significant contribution” to another NFL team.

Jerry Jones on Dez Bryant: "I think Dez has an excellent opportunity to make a significant contribution to a team in the NFL. Our time was the right time as far as our relationship, but that doesn't preclude him from being productive for another team."

Jones was full of praise for Bryant when the release happened, too. It’s quite clear that, while he firmly believes the relationship had run its course, there was a special bond between player and owner.

For the moment, Bryant seems to be having a hard time finding anyone who agrees with Jones’s assertion.
