Since the Dallas Cowboys made the decision to part ways with star wide receiver Dez Bryant, there has been some bitterness expressed from the Pro Bowler. Bryant has voiced his displeasure with the move, especially aiming his disgruntlement with the coaching staff around head coach Jason Garrett.

It has painted a picture that there was some uneasiness within the organization that led to this move taking place rather than working to offer him a pay cut to keep him on board. Former Cowboys great and Hall of Famer Michael Irvin recently weighed in on the situation stating that Bryant had difficulty seeing eye-to-eye with those that didn't necessarily talk to him in the same vantage point that he saw things, via Nick Shook of NFL.com.

“Honestly, Dez is a fighter and what happens is when he gets in these situations he does what he knows how to do. He fights,” Michael Irvin said Monday. “And if you're not careful with how you speak to him and how you speak with him, he ends up fighting everybody and anybody and even fighting some of the people that are trying to help him. And I think that was the situation in Dallas.

“It got a little bad off the football field, then fighting to get back where he balls, where he wants to be and where he belongs and I think he was fighting even the people that were trying to help him.”

This has become a bitter situation for Bryant as he likely believed things would work out in Dallas over the long haul. It had clearly become something that management and the coaching staff saw could no longer be the case.

What could have been the tipping point is that his production was no longer matching what the expectations were pertaining to his salary. It had made it took much of a financial burden to pay top dollar for a player no longer producing at an elite level.

If anything, the way this situation unfolded is something Bryant can learn from moving forward in this next chapter of his career. He certainly has much to offer on the field for another franchise to be a high-impact player both on the field and in the locker in a largely positive manner.
