Former Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant pushed back against what he called "disrespectful" comments about him made by team owner Jerry Jones in a series of posts shared Saturday on social media.

After star defensive end Micah Parsons requested a trade on Friday following stalled talks on a contract extension with the team, the tension in the air could be cut with a knife at the River Ridge Fields in Southern California on Saturday.
