Many questioned why the Dallas Cowboys were unable to agree on a new contract with star wide receiver Dez Bryant until rumors of a video that allegedly shows Bryant doings something much worse than Ray Rice started to crop up.
Dez Bryant's Career In Jeopardy Over Video?
While the video has still not been released (and may never be, if it even exists), the rumors have certainly stirred enough a major controversy already. Some rumors claim that the video shows footage of an alleged incident between Bryant and a woman at a Wal-Mart a few years back. There was a police report filed in 2011 about Bryant and a Wal-Mart incident, and it was released for the first time today.
In July, 2011, police were called to a Walmart for an disturbance. It involved Dez Bryant. Details (report included): https://t.co/ESk2av9q9w

The report basically says that a black male dragged a black female from her car in the parking lot of a Wal-Mart. Ilyne Nash is the listed victim, and she was Bryant's girlfriend and the mother of his two children. Multiple cars at the scene were also registered to Bryant.
Nash says she got into an argument with another man (not Dez), but was not harmed or assaulted. She left the scene, but ultimately returned with Bryant. Police questioned everyone at the scene before deciding that no crime was committed.
The police report does not mention any video, so it may not be the incident that the alleged tape shows. The other stories about the video make it sound scathing enough that Bryant's career could end if it gets released, so it seems unlikely that the video is connected with what seems like a relatively benign incident.
