On Friday it was confirmed by ESPN's Todd Archer that Dez Bryant has been released by the Dallas Cowboys. Their odds of winning the 2018 NFC East were set at 3/1 at the time of the announcement.
Releasing the wide receiver will save the Cowboys $8 million against the cap this season.
In 113 games over his eight seasons with the Cowboys, Bryant has caught 513 passes for 7,459 yards and a franchise-record 73 touchdown receptions. His yardage total ranks fifth in franchise history behind Jason Witten, Michael Irvin, Tony Hill and Drew Pearson.
The Cowboys made a bid to sign Sammy Watkins as free agency began and have since added Allen Hurns and Deonte Thompson.
