Dez Bryant Responds To Rumors Of Video Portraying Him In Poor Light

(CBS) Cowboys receiver Dez Bryant has found himself in the middle of more drama.

Furious rumors have swirled lately that a video of Bryant exists of him "doing something he shouldn't have been doing," as ProFootballTalk's Mike Florio termed it, speculation that has gained steam as the Cowboys and Bryant have been unable to work out a long-term contract.

On Wednesday, ESPN's Adam Schefter confirmed he's heard of the video and that he's been made aware of what's on it. Schefter also added he's been working on the story since September, though the details remain hazy and unconfirmed.

"Whatever we've been working on is not ready and maybe it never will be," Schefter said in a radio interview. "Who knows? You've got to be very careful on these things. People can talk about videos, they can talk about this they can talk about that. The fact of the matter is, it doesn't mean anything and it's really not fair to him right now until you have all your facts in line. Which we spent a long time trying to do."

For his part, Bryant took to Twitter to respond on Wednesday afternoon, writing, "I need to get me a real raw uncut tv show or something ... I can't continue to get betrayed like this." He has since deleted the tweet.
