DALLAS COWBOYS WIDE RECEIVER DEZ BRYANT (88) TALKS with quarterback Tony Romo during training camp in this photo from July 30 in Oxnard, Calif.
Cowboys clamp down on Bryant’s wild ways IRVING, TEXAS (AP) — The Dallas Cowboys are trying to provide some guidance for Dez Bryant, the talented young receiver who has had issues off the field. Coach Jason Garrett wouldn’t go into specifics Monday or describe potential discipline for not abiding by the rules, but he said the Cowboys (No. 15 in AP Pro32) want to support Bryant and his family. “What we’ve tried to do is come up with a plan for Dez like we would for any player who we feel like needs our support, and help him be his best as a player and as a person,” Garrett said. “And the accountability factor is an important part of that with him and with anybody on our football team.” According to numerous reports, Bryant will attend weekly counseling sessions, have a full-time security team and not be allowed to consume alcohol or attend strip clubs. The security members will drive Bryant to team functions, including practices and games, and the receiver will also be subject to a curfew. Bryant was arrested in July for allegedly assaulting his mother, who has since said she doesn’t want authorities to pursue charges against him. The Dallas County district attorney’s office has yet to make a decision about misdemeanor family violence charges. There is still the chance that the NFL could discipline Bryant, who is going into his third season with the Cowboys.
“
What we’ve tried to do is come up with a plan for Dez like we would for any player who we feel like needs our support ... ” — Dallas Cowboys head coach Jason Garrett NFL spokesman Greg Aiello told The Associated Press in an email Monday that the league “will review the facts once the case is resolved by the court.” He said the team’s guidelines for Bryant will have nothing to do with league discipline. “We’re going to control what we can control as an organization, and Dez has done everything that we’ve asked him to do up to this point both on and off the football field,” Garrett said. “Any decision about that is out of our control.” Despite other off-thefield issues in the past, Bryant was having a solid offseason until his arrest two weeks before the start of training camp. He hasn’t been available to speak to reporters since the start of training camp because of his pending legal issues. He didn’t talk in the locker room after practice Monday. In 2008, the Cowboys had a security detail in place for Adam “Pacman” Jones, who had missed all of the previous season with Tennessee and was coming off a 17-month NFL suspension because of repeated legal troubles. Six weeks after being reinstated by the NFL, Jones
was involved in an alcohol-related scuffle with one of his bodyguards at a private party in Dallas and was suspended for six games. He was cut by the Cowboys after the season. Cowboys owner Jerry Jones waited a couple of weeks after Bryant was arrested, and a couple of days after the team got to California for training camp, to talk with Bryant.

Bills trade for QB Jackson, become latest to cut Young ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) — Vince Young was too inconsistent to win the Buffalo Bills backup job, so now the team’s giving Tarvaris Jackson a shot to prove himself. The Bills shuffled backup quarterbacks on Monday by completing a deal to acquire Jackson in a trade with Seattle. They then cut Young. The moves coincided with the Seahawks deeming Jackson expendable after naming rookie Russell Wilson their starter, and it came two days
Jackson
Young
after Young struggled in his bid to lock up the No. 2 job in a 38-7 preseason loss to Pittsburgh General manager Buddy Nix called Jackson a strong-armed quarterback who is accustomed to playing in offenses that feature
a quick passing attack such as the Bills. For Young, it’s the latest blow to what was a once-promising career. After leading Texas to the national championship in 2006, Young was selected third overall by Tennessee and was the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year. The Titans eventually ran out of patience with Young and released him last summer. Young had a disappointing season as Michael Vick’s backup in Philadelphia last year.
