It was a pretty rocky start to the offseason, but things have been all quiet on the Dez Bryant front for the most part these last two months, which has some within Valley Ranch breathing easier.
There had been questions about Bryant's ability to conduct himself properly while away from the structure football provides during the lockout, and also some worries over his commitment to the game when he didn't show up at the team facility during the one-day break in the lockout over draft weekend.
However, in attending the team's players-only workouts and keeping his name out of the headlines of late, Bryant has alleviated some of those fears.
Speaking to the NFL Network at the owners meetings last week, Jerry Jones said he believes Bryant is on the right path because of pressure from his teammates.
"I'm not concerned," Jones said. "I think that Dez does have accountability right now, not only within himself, but also to his teammates. And at the end of the day, those two constituencies, Dez himself as well as his teammates, are the ones that are going to make the biggest difference in his life.
"So he's in the right area for the right type of influence, and I think that will have a positive impact."
