Jay-Z and Roc Nation hit Jerry Jones with serious allegations regarding Dez Bryant

As the continuing saga between Jerry Jones and Micah Parsons continues, a new party has joined the mix, and that’s ex-Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant and Roc Nation. 

Jones tried to accuse Bryant and Roc Nation of not following through with an agreement in principle with Dez Bryant, even saying they refuse to take his phone calls.

Via Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, Jones had this to say about Bryant and Jay-Z: “[W]hen we have a problem with the player, the agent is nowhere to be found. Jay-Z said that Dez would make all meetings. Jay-Z and I negotiated the contract, spent hours. He said, ‘Anybody in my organization is on time.’ He said, ‘My office used to be on the street corner, and I’ve always been early. So, they will be on time.’ And what did I say? I said, ‘I’m going to call you [when I have a problem].’ He quit taking my call.”

Bryant, via social media, denied that allegation.

“Jerry Jones,” Bryant said, “I don’t think it’s smart to mention my name. I kept quiet about a lot of unfair shit. On some G shit. We can have story time if that’s what we are doing.”

Jay-Z and Roc Nation also made a statement denying these allegations. 

“In 2015, at the 21 Club, on a napkin, Jerry Jones, Juan Perez, Shawn ‘Jay-Z’ Carter, and Stephen Jones negotiated a five-year, $70 million deal, which included a $45 million guarantee and a $20 million signing bonus for Dez Bryant. At the time, it was the second-largest contract for a wide receiver in NFL history.

“The claim that Mr. Carter or Roc Nation representatives did not return a call from Jerry Jones is not only a false statement, but it’s also a comical one.”

Aside from the fact that it was illegal for this meeting to take place (Jay Z is not a licensed agent), this confirms what Parsons has been saying all along, which is that Jones and the Cowboys have never returned his or his agent’s phone calls.
