REPORT: Former Steelers WR Martavis Bryant has applied for reinstatement

Martavis Bryant, a former wide receiver for the Pittsburgh Steelers, recently applied for reinstatement into the NFL.

According to Sirius Radio contributor Rudy Carpenter, former Steelers wide receiver Martavis Bryant has applied for reinstatement into the NFL.

Bryant has been suspended multiple times for violating the league’s substance-abuse policy since he was drafted by the Steelers in 2014.

If Bryant, 28, is reinstated, a policy in the new collective bargaining agreement should help him remain in the league. The CBA, ratified in March, states that players will no longer be suspended for positive marijuana tests.

Twitter is lighting up with Steelers fans wanting to see Bryant back in Pittsburgh.

Personally, I don’t see why the Steelers need another WR. Sure, Bryant was a solid contributor in Pittsburgh, but why would the Steelers spend what little money they do have for a player who didn’t want to be in Pittsburgh in the first place?
