Dallas Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones went on Sirius XM NFL Radio on Friday to talk about how third-year quarterback Dak Prescott has progressed this offseason.

Last year, Stephen said, there was a lot of pressure on Prescott with two of the teams’ top targets — Dez Bryant and Jason Witten — in his ear constantly, which caused Prescott to struggle more than he did in his rookie campaign.

Here's the audio from the Cowboys Stephen Jones about @DezBryant from our training camp stop today… "He's gotta trust the system, which at times last year, there was pressure.. with Dez in his ear and to some degree Jason in his ear. Those great players want the ball" pic.twitter.com/DmjugEtU2c — SiriusXM NFL Radio (@SiriusXMNFL) July 27, 2018





“[Dak Prescott] is working on his game. He’s working on his accuracy,” Stephen said on Sirius XM NFL radio. “I think he’s gotta trust the system, which I think at times last year there was pressure with Dez [Bryant] in his ear — to some degree with Jason [Witten] in his ear, those great players want balls.

“I think if he can get back to what we did the year before where we run the football consistently with [Ezekiel Elliott] and that great offensive line that we have, and let him really trust the system, work through his reads … then I think he’ll have the type of year that he had before if not better.”

However, an initial tweet from Sirius XM NFL Radio that didn’t include audio from the interview misquoted Stephen, making it seem as if he was calling out Bryant specifically for Prescott’s struggles.

Bryant, unsurprisingly after seeing the initial tweet, didn’t take too kindly to what he thought Stephen said — and told him so on Twitter.

“Here we go again with that scapegoat s—,” Bryant tweeted. “I charged everything to the game and went the other way. Y’all know what the real problem is. Don’t put it on me with that bulls—. Garbage a– play calling. Everybody lined up in the same spots for 17 weeks.”

Here we go with that scapegoat shit.. i charged everything to the game and went the other way.. y’all know what the real problem is .. don’t put it on me with that bullshit.. garbage ass play calling.. Everybody lined up in the same spot for 17 weeks.. 🛑 😂 https://t.co/YhG4cAPx6O — Dez Bryant (@DezBryant) July 27, 2018





Bryant then started interacting with others who were replying to him, too. Pretty quickly after the initial tweet, he decided to take a shot at Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, linebacker Sean Lee and center Travis Frederick.

“[Stephen’s] not clueless,” Bryant wrote, quote-tweeting another user. “Jerry [Jones] was the only one who was clueless. S— was planned to get me out ask Travis [Frederick] and my brother Snake Lee, I mean Sean Lee.”

He’s not clueless.. Jerry was the only one who was clueless.. shit was a planned to get me out ask Travis and my brother snake Lee I mean Sean Lee https://t.co/7BK9cEkW90 — Dez Bryant (@DezBryant) July 27, 2018





The part where Bryant called Lee a snake surprised a lot of users, as the 32-year-old linebacker is generally thought to be one of the biggest leaders on the team.

Bryant explained that part shortly after, too.

“Yeah [Lee] suppose to been my brother,” Bryant tweeted. “We laughed, talked about goals and stuff, he sat right across from me in the locker room. Never thought we had a problem. I got cut. He was the first to know. I find out he was also behind it. Damn!”

Yea he suppose to been my brother .. we laughed talk about goals and stuff he sat right across from me in the locker room..never thought we had a problem.. I got cut.. he was the first to know.. I find out he was also behind it

Damn!! https://t.co/KgNfu9f2uU — Dez Bryant (@DezBryant) July 27, 2018





And while he didn’t explain why or how Lee was “behind” his release from the team, Bryant did repeatedly say he was just stating facts.

Bryant was released from the Cowboys in April after eight seasons.
