A month after he was sued, Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant has filed a countersuit against former adviser Royce West, claiming West and his business associates breached the professional and fiduciary duties owed to him.According to the lawsuit, West, a Texas state senator, capitalized on Bryants notoriety and hard-earned success to improperly line his own pocket and those of his business associates.The suit claims West and his law firm, West & Associates L.L.P., received more than $300,000 in compensation from Bryant while West simultaneously was breaching his fiduciary duties and other obligations to Bryant. Also, David Wells, who served as Wests hand-picked financial manager, is said to have absconded with over $200,000 owed to Bryant under endorsements and other agreements.West assisted Wells in forming Dez Enterprises Inc., in which both served as directors. The suit claims Wells used the business to attract marketing and endorsement deals using Bryants name, image and likeness and then West would instruct endorsement companies and others to make payments for any endorsement agreements to Wells, not Bryant, who had signed over power of attorney to Wells on Wests advice.Many of these payments stopped at Wells and/or West, but never reached Bryant, according to the suit.Bryant filed the claim after West sued the receiver for between $100,000 and $200,000 for damage to a house Bryant rented from him in DeSoto. Bryant returned the property in February 2016, however, West found the house littered with trash and feces, missing blinds and shutters, with cracked windows and blackened carpeting, requiring more than $60,000 in repairs.These allegations are lies and frivolous, West said. Mr. Bryant needs to take responsibility for the damage caused to my house and not attempt to avert the focus away from his actions by making incredulous accusations about me. I intend to defend my name by filing a defamation lawsuit against Mr. Bryant and his attorney.West and Wells had been among Bryants confidants since the Cowboys selected him in the first round of the 2010 draft. West had served as Bryants attorney. Wells had served as mentor and head of his security team until February 2015. Three months earlier, Bryant switched agents, moving to Roc Nation Sports.Bryants counterclaim asks the court to recover all losses as well as any fees paid.

METAIRIE, La. -- Fully one third of all of sacks and interceptions the New Orleans Saints defense has produced this season happened in one game -- the last game.Middle linebacker Craig Robertson and defensive end Paul Kruger are among the Saints defenders who said theyd like to think the spike in big plays is something that can carry forward -- not simply the result of favorable matchups on a particular week.This Thursday night, the Saints play the Carolina Panthers and veteran, dynamic quarterback Cam Newton. Last week, it was Denver rookie Trevor Siemian, whose teams struggling running game has only increased pressure on him.Kruger said he sees the Saints defense starting to play well together, starting to understand each other as individuals and as a group.The Saints had six sacks against Denver, bringing their total for all nine games this season to 17. New Orleans two interceptions raised its total in that category to six.Kruger said a variety of factors play into a defenses ability to create pressure on a quarterback, including an opposing offenses scheme, play-calling and how quickly the quarterback is able to consistently make throws.In some of those earlier games, we were rushing the passer well. We just werent able to get there as often, Kruger said. Sometimes the stats dont tell the full story.The Saints are also getting healthier at key positions. Two games ago, top cornerback Delvin Breaux played for the first time since fracturing his fibula in Week 1. Also in Week 9, the Saints first-round draft choice, defensive tackle Sheldon Rankins, made his NFL debut after recovering from his own fractured fibula during training camp. And against Denver, linebacker Dannell Ellerbe played for only the second time this season.Both Rankins and Ellerbe had sacks, and Ellerbe blitzed frequently. While Breaux did not have an interception -- those were made by cornerback Sterling Moore and safety Kenny Vaccaro -- linebacker Craig Robertson said Breauxs coverage skills can sometimes force quarterbacks to hold the ball longer, leading to sacks or less accurate throws under duress.With the type of talent we added back, it was destined to happen, Robertson said, referring to his units spike in big plays. But at the same time, our coaches put together a great plan. ... We executed that plan as bbest as we possibly could.ddddddddddddSaints coach Sean Payton said his defense played one of its best games this season last Sunday and that having players return from injury certainly helped.Fortunately, weve been able to get some of those guys back in and playing, he said.Panthers tight end Greg Olsen also noted that the Saints defense appears healthier than when New Orleans defeated the Panthers 41-38 in the Superdome in Week 6.Last week against Denver they really played well. Theyre playing fast, Olsen said. Getting those (previously injured) guys back into the mix always helps.The Saints also have tried a variety of defensive formations to keep offenses guessing. Last week, they decided to take advantage of Krugers ability to cover short passes, lining up five defensive linemen in some running situations.Its basically just getting a lot of big guys on the field, Kruger said. Its worked well for us in the short amount of time weve had it here.Whether New Orleans defense is all of a sudden an above-average defense remains to be seen. Currently, the Saints still rank 29th out of 32 teams in yards allowed per game with 400.6. The Saints are dead last in yards passing allowed with 292.7 per game.But their recently demonstrated ability to get more pressure on quarterbacks gives them hope of playing better down the stretch, and they know they dont have to be dominant with prolific quarterback Drew Brees running New Orleans league-leading offense.Weve got to trust who we can be and just know who we want to be, Robertson said.---Game notes Three Saints players did not practice on Tuesday: LT Terron Armstead (knee and quadriceps), CB Delvin Breaux and RB Daniel Lasco (hamstring). ... Five players were listed as limited: RB Travaris Cadet (toe), LB Stephone Anthony (hamstring), DT David Onyemata (knee), LB Dannell Ellerbe (quadriceps), P Thomas Morstead (ankle). ... Special teams regular and reserve LB Mike Mauti, who was placed on the non-football illness list on Monday, said hes been told by doctors he surgery for colitis (an ulcer) and does not expect to return to football until next season.---AP NFL website: http://www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
