Dez Bryant has met with owner Jerry Jones and there has been no change in his status with the Dallas Cowboys.

That's as it stands, of course, and could change at a moment's notice. It's no secret the team has leveraged themselves against the possibility of not having their All-Pro wide receiver going forward, be it through the blunt words of EVP Stephen Jones and/or the now infamously bad attempt at trying to pay Sammy Watkins like he's Randy Moss, but through it all Bryant remained on the team and his contract has yet to be touched in any way. Set to earn a base salary of $12.5 million in 2018, what was initially deemed as "overpaid" to many now looks like a bargain based upon what the market is paying wideouts with arguably less talent, who are oft-injured in some cases and who simply don't have the pedigree of Bryant.

It's a pressure-packed offseason that sees the Cowboys' all-time leader in receiving touchdowns fighting off venom with a focused and determined demeanor, even going as far as talking to The Ben and Skin Show on 105.3FM the Fan recently to tell his haters to "kiss my ass" before returning to what appears to be an intense offseason training regimen. Bryant has reasserted his love and loyalty to the Cowboys at every turn in both verbal and social media form, and is now choosing to focus on what he can control:

His own body and mind with the goal of making 2018 "special", in his words.

To that end, he'll now begin training with David Robinson in April, a name that rings bells with wideouts from around the NFL. Robinson is widely known as a route guru and his clientele currently includes Denver Broncos' star Emmanuel Sanders and ...wait for it... Pittsburgh Steelers megastar Antonio Brown, who is not-so-arguably the best receiver in the entire NFL. With news of Bryant's new route-training regimen, his detractors have already fired up the "he's just now doing this?!" locomotive as context is willfully stripped away for the easy headline, but there's more than meets the eye here as he works to transform back to his dominant ways.

For his part, Robinson doesn't believe there's any issue with Bryant's route-running but will work with him on it anyway. If you ask the guru what the real issue is, he says it's staring you right in the face and has nothing to do with the player -- while having everything to do with the coaching.

"In my opinion, I definitely think that Dez can run the whole complete route tree. He just hasn't been asked to do so," Robinson said to The Ben and Skin Show, via NFL.com. "And I believe they also need to move him around a bit, too: outside, put him in the slot some because he's a mismatch to a lot of defenders."

Yahtzee.

Robinson went on to explain he believes Bryant hasn't lost any explosiveness or has any true issues in his breaks, but he'd like the Cowboys to use him for more than just high-pointing catches. Anyone who watches the team's offense can attest to this fact, as Bryant is rarely asked to catch slants or any other pass that isn't simply "run straight and jump high".

That doesn't mean the 29-year-old is perfect, which is why Robinson is on the job, working to refine the skill set he already sees in Bryant. It'll be for naught, however, if offensive coordinator Scott Linehan doesn't make the necessary scheme changes to capitalize on one of the team's most dangerous weapons.

Having a nuke is one thing, but knowing where and how to aim it is quite another.
