The “rules”, which are a set of conduct guidelines the team wants Bryant to adhere to, gives fantasy owners greater confidence that Bryant will be playing in all 16 games this season. It’s no secret that Bryant is his own worst enemy and it’s his off-the-field stuff that threatens his fantasy value. Now that he’ll have a security team around him 24/7 to assure that he doesn’t wander into places he shouldn’t be going and gets him to team meetings on time, etc., I think much of his fantasy risk has been mitigated. Bryant has been going as around the 13^th or 14^th WR off the board on draft day. I probably wouldn’t take him any higher than that, but I’m more at ease taking him there. Glad to see the Cowboys protecting their investment and in the process showing such a great concern for fantasy owners!

It's a sad state of affairs if a team has to write this out for a player. I commented on this yesterday. Part of the reason I am a waning interest in the NFL. Unfortunately it is a small percentage that give the whole a bad image. ---- Stephen http://www.the6thfloor.com/category/fantasy-football-2/ "Bringing confusion and contradiction to YOUR post!"

By the Dez got to the NFL...he had been empowered in Pop Warner (i'm willing to bet) High School, College wher I'm sure his eductaion was "football passed" get's to the NFL with mad skills, millions in his pocket and no value set to draw on. As an ex-coach trust me...it's starts young, way too many fathers who couldn't cut it and are living vicariously through their kids...too many Mom's that are victims...too much...too fast...this is the result. It's a bloody joke that a franchise has to implement this type of program just to protect their investment. Sad... ---- "Bringing clarity and confirmation to YOUR post!"

How many chances have guys gotten in pro sports moving from one team to the next because someone thinks they can control or reform their attitudes, guys like Pacman Jones and Terrell Owens were such great athletes, but were cancers outside the lines. If Jones' rules kick Bryant in the butt and force him to grow up, in 10 years when his career is over, he should thank Jones for his firm hand. ---- Draft: 3QB's 4RB's 5WR's 3TE's 2K 4DL 5LB 4DB.
