them any favors the Dallas Cowboys are still well within striking distance in the NFC East. Talking about playoffs is always a big thing http://www.dallascowboysteamonline.com/chris-jones-jersey , but the Cowboys are in the middle of the pack in their conference and have a fair shot.This has felt like a season of importance for the brain trust of the Cowboys, specifically head coach Jason Garrett. While the club technically had a winning record a season ago there’s no question that it was a disappoient from the 13-win campaign a year before it. The Cowboys are expected to win and to win now. That’s not a good thing if they’re not doing it.The world saw the front office make a few choice decisions over the offseason. Perhaps their two biggest bets were going with a cast of question marks at wide receiver and bringing in a new offensive line coach that taught an unusual technique. Had those moves worked out then we’d be sitting here celebrating what the Cowboys did, that’s common sense. Considering the wide receiver group and offensive line have both been bad through seven games they are rightfully being faced with a lot of questions.The Cowboys are owning up to their own poor decisionsA week ago the Cowboys shipped their first-round draft pick out of town to bring in wide receiver Amari Cooper. This was a flat out admission that their previous philosophy wasn’t working and that they needed a (hopeful) superstar at the position. Good for them for not only realizing this but acting on it, although obviously everyone wishes they’d paid less.Bye weeks are a unique set of seven days that offer the time to pull off moves like these. They also offer time for reflection. The Cowboys seemingly reflected on what used to be the best element of their team in their offensive line and realized that it was in fact playing to suboptimal levels. They also made a change there on Monday when they fired Paul Alexander, promoted Marc Colombo, and brought back Hudson Houck. Geoff Burke-USA TODAY SportsPlenty of people are at a “doesn’t matter what changes they make, they’re doomed†standpoint with the Cowboys, but such is life rooting for America’s Team. While yes, the Cowboys obviously erred in some of their decisions over the offseason, the fact that they would do everything that they could to rectify it with time left is certainly commendable. The reality here is that a lot hangs in the balance with the Cowboys. These next nine games that they’ll play are going to determine a lot of outcomes and fates. It was confounding how a team that was seemingly up against a wall had such a passive disposition when it came to how they built their roster and staff, not to mention how conservative the Cowboys have been in their losses.Perhaps the Cowboys are proverbially pushing in all of their chips here. Maybe they realize that they are somewhat all-in. If the team doesn’t do something noteworthy between now and January they are going to have a lot of questions to answer. For now those questions will continue to linger, but what will not continue to fester is the passive nature we saw from September to now. The Cowboys are done watching themselves sink. They’re trying to make a swim of it at this point. Whether or not they will remains to be seen but for now they deserve credit for giving it what they’ve got. Dez Bryant and the Browns are still in the courtship phase. Their future together is uncertain.The three-time Pro Bowl wide receiver and his agent, Kim Maile, met with team officials at the Browns' headquarters in Berea, Ohio, on Thursday. The sides got to know each other better, and they are expected to meet again Friday to discuss a potential contract for Bryant with Cleveland.Released by Dallas in April after eight seasons, Bryant is looking for a new NFL home and Cleveland, could be the place where he continues a brilliant career that has stalled.Before meeting with coach Hue Jackson and general manager John Dorsey, Bryant stopped in the studio of the team's in-house radio show and gave an on-air update of his visit."I'm happy to be here, you know excited, you know just trying to work out some things Authentic Zack Martin Jersey ," Bryant said. "It's a lovely place."When one of the radio hosts observed that Bryant looked wearing orange while he played at Oklahoma State, Bryant said, "Yeah, I did. I'd still look good in the brown. We'll see."The 29-year-old has shown an interest in signing with the Browns, who are looking to add an experienced receiver to their young group which is currently missing former Pro Bowler Josh Gordon, who is away from the team for health reasons.Bryant has been waiting to latch on with another team since turning down a three-year, $21 million contract offer from the Baltimore Ravens, who may still have interest in him.The Browns have plenty of room under the salary cap to offer Bryant a multi-year deal. However, the team may opt to sign him to a short-term contract. The Browns also must decide if they're ready to take on a player who clashed with Cowboys coaches and while very talented can be highly disruptive.Last week, Dorsey said he had been trying to contact Bryant with no success. After Dorsey reached out to Bryant through the media, Bryant posted on Twitter that he intended to visit the Browns."For real . I wouldn't mind playing for the browns ... I just want to be right first," Bryant wrote.Several Cleveland players, including starting quarterback Tyrod Taylor and receiver Jarvis Landry, have expressed they would love Bryant to join them."That would be awesome," Taylor said following Cleveland's exhibition opener. "We know what type of talent Dez brings to the football field. He's been a very, very good player in his time throughout this league, and he adds talent to the wide receiver room. I hope it can get done, but that's up to management. I definitely think he could help this team."Landry, a three-time Pro Bowler who is close to Bryant, said this week he would love to be teammates with him."We're just trying to figure out if he wants to be here," Landry said. "Then obviously we're open arms, and we'd love to have him. He'd be a great addition to our team and our offense for sure. You look at the plays he's making down the field Authentic Tyron Smith Jersey , underneath. He can really do it all, given the opportunities."On Wednesday, offensive coordinator Todd Haley said he's excited about Cleveland's group of receivers, which includes Landry, rookie Antonio Callaway, the improved Rashard Higgins and undrafted first-year free agent C.J. Board."I'm excited about these young guys. I really am," Haley said. "I mean, that being said, if guys are willing to come in here and guys with the pedigrees and resumes like somebody like (Bryant), I mean, of course, we're going to accept him and coach the heck out of him. If Dez Bryant, who obviously has been a good player in this league, is in that mix, he's going to be coached like everybody else."I tell everybody that shows up here we don't care about what means you get here, if you're willing to put your hand in the pile and work and be part of moving forward and having success, I'm all for it."Bryant has been one of the NFL's top deep threats for years. He has amassed 531 catches for 7,459 yards and 73 touchdowns.Last season, Bryant caught 69 passes for 838 yards and six TDs.
