I haven't missed a mini camp in 4 years! Even though the contract is not done, I have teammates and a playbook! I'm preparing as if I will be on the field the first week of camp!

Dez Bryant makes statement on Pride Month
The post Dez Bryant makes statement on Pride Month appeared first on ClutchPoints. Former Dallas Cowboys WR Dez Bryant knows a thing or two about shooting his mouth off. After all, it was Bryant who lashed out at Cowboys' owner Jerry Jones after a loss to the 49ers in late October. His gift for gab has gotten him into hot water again on Monday. Bryant took to social media to post puzzling remarks regarding the acknowledgment of Pride Month, per Josh Sanchez of Sports Illustrated. He took issue with the ML Football League, who posted on X acknowledging Pride Month and saying things such as 'Football is gay' and 'Football is for everyone.' 'These are wild statements to make,' Bryant posted on X. 'Excuse my silliness. I'm going to proudly tell my boys football is none of these things. I have nothing against Gays, but this is far from right.' He then followed up with a subsequent post that included much harsher commentary. 'It's gay players in the NFL, but forcing it in people's faces, especially children, can send the wrong message,' he said. 'Football is a real community, like the gay community. Imagine telling gays they have to advocate for straight people. They probably would have a problem.' Pride Month is a celebration of the history and visibility of the LGBTQ+ community. It is held in June to commemorate the historic Stonewall Riots on June 28, 1969, which marked the launch of the modern LGBTQ+ rights movement. The NFL has acknowledged Pride Month since 2017. However, this is not the first time Bryant has said something off-putting. During his tenure with the Cowboys, Bryant has become one of the most outspoken players. Often saying and doing things that have gotten him in hot water. In 2012, he was involved in a physical altercation with his mother, Angela, that was caught on tape by TMZ. She said he hit her with a baseball cap and tore her shirt as she was trying to break up a scuffle between Bryant and her brother. At one point, Bryant owned a capuchin monkey. That invoked the ire of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA). He called former Cowboys teammate Sean Lee a 'snake' and called out the team's playcalling. Last November, Bryant trolled Jay Z after a Cowboys loss to the Washington Commanders. All of this came amid rumors that Jay-Z would become an owner of the Commanders. At virtually every turn, Bryant has something to say.

Jerry Jones Critic Stubbornly Creates New Micah Parsons Contract Theory
Jerry Jones Critic Stubbornly Creates New Micah Parsons Contract Theory originally appeared on Athlon Sports. FRISCO - No doubt Jerry Jones is stubborn. But some of his irrational critics are even more so. Advertisement Front and center, Pro Football Talk's Mike Florio. It was just a month ago when Florio mocked the Dallas Cowboys owner for not living up to his hype of a "substantive" trade being in the works. "Fans and media have begun to wake up to the notion that Cowboys owner and G.M. Jerry Jones is more carnival barker than trophy chaser," he wrote. "It's not about winning, it's about being interesting. And he always finds ways to be interesting." That's quite the accusation, essentially claiming that the Hall-of-Fame owner with three Super Bowl rings doesn't care about winning football games. Worse, when Jones pulled off the trade for receiver George Pickens it was somehow still wasn't enough for Florio. Instead of crediting him for making a deal for a No. 2 receiver, Florio twisted it into a new criticism. Advertisement "Regardless of how it plays out," Florio wrote, "owner/G.M. Jerry Jones has added another spinning plate to his endless collection of incomplete contracts." Sounds to us like Florio may be the hard-headed one, refusing to apologize to Jones and now concocting another ridiculous premise when it comes to Micah Parsons. Jones signed quarterback Dak Prescott to his mega contract last season just days before the Week 1 opener. Florio's theory is that the delay wasn't because of negotiations, but rather publicity. "There are many reasons why the Cowboys have gone 30 years without an appearance in the NFC Championship," Florio writes. "One very real reason is the chronic stubbornness of owner Jerry Jones to pay his core players sooner than later. Advertisement "Our guess? He knows it. And he'd rather have the latest unsettled contract become the top story for sports media than to see his team benefit from the relative irrelevance of peace." Again, this a damning contention: Accusing Jones of sabotaging Parsons' happiness and the team's locker room chemistry all for a couple of headlines. Jerry is a master marketer. To us, it's impressive he's kept his team popular and profitable during an almost 30-year Super Bowl drought. To continue to say he doesn't care about winning is preposterous and, yes, stubborn.

DeMarvion Overshown Previews His New Jersey Number at Cowboys OTAs
The Dallas Cowboys have officially started OTAs, and some players are rocking new jersey numbers heading into the 2025 NFL season. Example? DeMarvion Overshown, who is rehabbing from a serious knee injury, was on the field as an observer during team drills at The Star this week. Advertisement Overshown could be seen sporting his new jersey No. 0 … going back to his college number at the University of Texas. This will be the third jersey number Overshown will wear in a Cowboys uniform after he was No. 35 during his rookie season, and No. 13 during his breakout 2024 season. He will become the first player in franchise history to wear No. 0. Jerry Jones (kinda) claimed the number belonged to the Cowboys mascot Rowdy (who is actually 00) before allowing any player to sport the sweet look. And Overshown impressions? 'Cowboys LB DeMarvion Overshown made an appearance at practice and worked a bit with the rehab group. He was moving around well and looks to have added some upper body mass,' Fort Worth Star-Telegram's Nick Harris posted on X. Advertisement Overshown putting on good weight in his upper body while recovering from a lower body injury proves he is committed to continuing to improve himself despite not being 100 percent. Overshown's resiliency is unquestionable, and when he returns to the field, he will join a talented linebacker room featuring Kenneth Murray Jr., Marist Liufau, Jack Sanborn, Buddy Johnson, and rookies Shemar James and Justin Barron. Defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus has been known as a linebacker whisperer around the league and Cowboys Nation should expect highly productive linebacker play from the Cowboys this season. The Cowboys are hoping that 'Agent 0' makes a speedy recovery and returns better than ever.

Cowboys roster shake-up – Jerry Jones eyes bold moves amid Jalen Ramsey trade buzz
Dallas Cowboys trade buzz (Image via Getty) The Dallas Cowboys are once again in the offseason spotlight, with owner Jerry Jones reportedly considering a bold roster move that could free up $8.65 million in cap space, likely at the expense of veteran safety Donovan Wilson. This strategic decision comes in the wake of a disappointing 2024 season and may signal bigger plans, including a potential trade for All-Pro cornerback Jalen Ramsey. Young safeties extended as Cowboys clear path for major defensive addition With the Cowboys' secondary hit hard by injuries last season, adding a shutdown corner like Jalen Ramsey could be transformative. The Miami Dolphins are rumored to be open to moving the high-priced star due to internal tensions and his hefty $21 million salary cap hit. While acquiring Ramsey would be a splash, it would require financial flexibility, hence the need for cap-clearing moves. As noted by podcaster Dan Rogers on X, 'The team can save $8.65 million in cap space by releasing Donovan Wilson after June 1st.' That move would align with the Cowboys' recent extensions for young safeties Markquese Bell, Juanyeh Thomas, and Israel Mukuamu, indicating a shift toward a younger, cost-effective secondary. If healthy, Trevon Diggs and Jalen Ramsey could become one of the most dominant cornerback duos in the NFL. However, the Cowboys must also manage a looming extension for Micah Parsons, whose agent David Mulugheta also represents Ramsey. Past tensions between Mulugheta and Jones could complicate negotiations. Still, the upside is massive. Pairing Ramsey's elite coverage skills with Parsons' pass rush and a rejuvenated front seven could elevate Dallas' defense to championship level. As trade rumors intensify, fans are eager to see if Jerry Jones is ready to go all-in before the window closes.
