The best evidence that a guy has a problem with jewelry lawsuits? When he is defending himself against at least two of them.

Fortunately, Cowboys receiver Dez Byrant is no longer defending himself against two jewelry lawsuits. According to Calvin Watkins of ESPNDallas.com, Bryant has settled the claim filed last month based on allegations that Bryant failed to pay a pending bill of $246,000 for $267,000 in jewelry purchased from January through May 2010.

The amount to be paid isn’t known. If the charges were legitimate, we can’t imagine the plaintiff accepting a penny less than $246,000.

Bryant also is dealing with a lawsuit based on jewelry and tickets to sporting events allegedly purchased while he was still attending Oklahoma State.
