08:04 AM ET 08.21 | Dez Bryant again finds himself a central figure in an unsettling circumstance. David Wells, a longtime adviser to [Bryant], has accused high-profile agent Drew Rosenhaus of offering him a prohibited cash payment and trip to Miami in an effort to sign Bryant, Yahoo! Sports has learned. The offers, through a series of text messages prior to the 2010 NFL draft, are apparent violations of the NFL Players Association's regulations on agents. Wells, whom Bryant lived with in high school and parts of college, showed Y! Sports a series of text messages from an apparent Rosenhaus phone number starting in mid-December 2009 and ending in January 2010. In one of the messages, Rosenhaus allegedly offers Wells $10,000 to donate to a charity he works with.

Rosenhaus would offer Dez's mama cash for her professional services, too. They have a lot in common.

If this can be proved and if it can result in Rosenhaus losing his license or certification as a sports agent, it will be an improvement in the sport.

David Wells is no better than Rosenhaus.

Never happen. The NFL just does not have the cohones to go there. You watch, never will happen.

Dez needs to get to a doctor and have all these parasites removed before they suck the life out of him...

Supp Mangler....

Hate to say it due to Dez being such a youngster--but---he will never amount to much in the NFL...Too many issues + he's just plain dumb...

I can see him in Huntsville before the Pro Bowl...

Rosenhaus is the epitome of a scum bag agent, But Fifty is right the league won't touch him. Mostly because Roger Goodell is a "Choirboy" and Drew would eat him alive toe to toe.

Dez and Rosenhaus deserve each other. Both are scumbags

I have a feeling you should just accept that as the default emotion regarding Dez. If it's not one thing it'll be another.

You sound like you know the guy personally...such a strong statement. Anyway-- in reality, this goes on all throughout the league...I'm sure you insert any player into this story "Agent X tried to get Player Y to sign with him" = NON STORY

"Rosenhaus accused of offering cash for Dez"

Next we'll find out that Rosenhaus owns a cotton plantation.

Take the trip, come back, say no thanks.

He is a kid, rich, but a kid nonetheless. I hope he can get some help, some honest representation and dump the slime and greed which surrounds him it seems. Staying away from Drew Rosenhaus is a good first step.
