Last year’s Achilles injury sidelined Dez Bryant for longer than expected, and now the one-time New Orleans Saints wide receiver is looking towards next season. Bryant shared a cup of coffee with the Saints before going down in Nov. 2018, and before that he spent eight years with the Dallas Cowboys — appearing in 116 games (including the playoffs), catching 546 passes for 7,677 receiving yards and scoring 75 touchdowns along the way. It stands to reason that if he gets his body right, some receiver-needy team could take a shot on him at some point.
And he’d like to try out for the Saints again, if given the opportunity. When asked by a fan on Twitter whether he’d consider reuniting with the Cowboys, Bryant responded, “Yep for next year,” before listing squads he’d be interested in joining such as the Saints, New England Patriots, Baltimore Ravens, and Kansas City Chiefs. Naturally, all of those teams are positioned to compete for a Super Bowl title.
Bryant added that he could see himself helping a team as “deadly weapon in the red zone” after putting in the work to train for it. But he’s spent the last year rehabbing a surgically-repaired Achilles tendon, and at 31 years of age, it kind of feels like any interested teams would have brought him in already. But at least he’s remaining optimistic about his chances of starring in the NFL again.
Yep for next year… train real hard be a deadly weapon in the red zone if not I’ll try to see what’s up with these teams NO,NE,BAl,KC https://t.co/Q060lKt1Ye
