Dez Bryant has made headlines again, but not all of it is positive. The former Cowboys wideout is on the ballot for the College Football Hall of Fame in a deserved nod to his career at Oklahoma State. But Bryant has also stirred up some controversy with an online post where he unloads his inflammatory thoughts on one of the NFL’s big social-issue campaigns. And to top it all off, one outlet’s 2010 redraft makes his entire Cowboys career vanish.

Meanwhile, another member of the 88 Club likes what he saw at Cowboys practice over the weekend, and there’s some confusion over just what jersey number the team’s newest wide receiver will wear. We’ll also share Tyler Smith’s new role as the offensive line’s leader, we’ll reveal which Cowboys player is due for a big bounceback year, and we’ll look into Solomon Thomas’s possible redemption year. Micah Parsons has a problem with the offseason hobby of a highly-touted NFC East rookie, we’ll explore the massive dead-money hit the team is taking, and we’ll explain why one divisional rival’s new coordinator has a former Cowboys head coach to thank for his opportunity.
