Here come the tears—all from Big D.
The recently cut Dez Bryant made sure to relay an important yet emotional message to all of his fans, especially those who love Dem Boys.
On Twitter, the former Dallas Cowboys wideout told the world his status as an ex-Cowboy 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.”

He then saw the love and responded:
“The love is real .. thank you.”
The love is real .. thank you

Of course, the Cowboys made it official on Friday with a formal announcement. Dez Bryant is no longer with the organization. He was released without the option of taking on a pay cut.
Bryant, 29, is a first-round Oklahoma State product by way of the 2010 NFL Draft. In eight seasons with Dem Boys, he put forth 7,459 receiving yards and 73 scores on 531 total hauls. Three times a Pro Bowler, Bryant earned prestigious First-Team All-Pro honors back in 2014 when he tallied 1,320 yards and 16 scores in 88 grabs.
Dez Bryant is now officially an NFL free agent. It's already brought major buzz by way of the league and especially on Twitter. Already, Jacksonville Jaguars cornerback Jalen Ramsey and New York Jets young safety Jamal Adams have conducted public pitches to the veteran beastly wideout.
