Shortly after his release, Bryant, who played for Dallas for eight seasons, had charged "Garrett Guys "- those who are loyal to head coach Jason Garrett – to be largely responsible for his ouster, but never specifically named anyone. At the time, Prescott and retired tight end Jason Witten now seemed to be the targets of Bryant's anger, even though they were both complementary to their ex-teammate in the days following his departure

" As long as you have voices like Jerry Jones and say these things, it reflects the spirit state of the rest of the property unless they decide to make as much noise as him, "explained Jenkins. They know (the protests) have nothing to do with (patriotism). the most frustrating thing that they continue to push the anti-military and anti-american rhetoric when they walked hand-in-hand with us in the communities, who spoke with us to the police, talked to us with lawyers So, they know what we are trying This has nothing to do with our flag, our country or the army itself.
