IRVING, Texas -- NBA Hall of Famer Michael Jordan had some simple advice for Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant this offseason: Behave.

"The only thing he told me was 'stay out of trouble,' '' Bryant said after Tuesday's practice at Valley Ranch. "Hearing it come from him … He is a strong voice. His opinion matters."

Bryant met Jordan at Jordan's birthday party during NBA All-Star Weekend in Houston, after Bryant had signed a three-year deal with Jordan Brand, becoming the seventh NFL player to join the apparel group.
