Dez Bryant expected to remain with Cowboys in 2018

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant is expected to remain with the team, according to a poll of four Dallas beat writers.

What It Means:

Cowboys EVP Stephen Jones recently called Bryant a "distraction" and doubled down by saying that he "needs to understand" his behavior on the sideline. Despite that, Bryant is expected to return after taking a pay cut, and others like him to benefit from a potential scheme change.

In 2017, Bryant's production saw a decline with 69 catches, 838 yards and 6 touchdowns in 16 games. The year prior, he had turned 50 catches into 796 yards and 8 touchdowns in just 13 games.
