There were issues with a mall security guard, trouble paying his bill for jewelry he had purchased on credit, a domestic violence issue with his mom. They all led to the team putting in place what would become known as the Dez Rules.

Yes, there was the whole mess with the video of him possibly getting aggressive with a woman in a Walmart parking lot; a video we now know never existed.
According to the rumor mill, part of the team's reluctance to pay him what he and the rest of the free world think he is worth is his propensity for trouble. No one wants to pay a player a boatload of money and see him suspended for the year because he hits his girlfriend or beats his kid with a switch.
So--it's time to see if he can handle acting like a responsible adult while not being watched. Time for the Dez Rules to be kicked to the curb--and they have been. The team began drawing back significantly last season on the Rules, but have decided enough is enough.
Now--about that contract....
