Dez Bryant applauds Chiefs’ signing of WR Marquise ‘Hollywood’ Brown

Former Pro Bowler Dez Bryant applauded the #Chiefs’ signing of WR Marquise “Hollywood” Brown in a post to Twitter.

The Kansas City Chiefs excited many in the football world with their one-year agreement with free agent wide receiver Marquise “Hollywood” Brown.

One of the many spectators who have thoughts on the signing was former Pro Bowl wide receiver Dez Bryant, who posted on social media about his excitement and appreciation for Kansas City’s latest move in free agency.

Bryant was a teammate of Brown’s during the 2020 season when both of the wide receivers played for the Baltimore Ravens. After officially signing with the Chiefs, Brown immediately reposted Bryant on X, showing the respect the former teammates still have for one another.

Bryant played ten seasons in the NFL, earning three Pro Bowl selections during his time with the Dallas Cowboys. In retirement, Bryant has become a vocal fan, posting to social media about anything and everything related to NFL football and sharing his thoughts about each team’s decisions with fans during the offseason.

Dez Bryant accepted DeSean Jackson’s $10,000 bet on Cowboys-Eagles by counting out the money

Dez Bryant and DeSean Jackson have big money riding on Eagles-Cowboys.

Dez Bryant is on a roll, and he’s not ready to leave the table now.

After betting $10,000 on the Dallas Cowboys’ win over the Seattle Seahawks last week, he’s prepared to take another $10,000 bet on Dallas. This time, though, the bet came via challenge from another former NFC East wide receiver.

Even after the Philadelphia Eagles were blown out by the San Francisco 49ers Sunday, DeSean Jackson jumped on X to tell Bryant to get his money ready for this week’s game between the Cowboys and Eagles. Bryant accepted the bet by counting out his money in a video response.

Dez Bryant had $10,000 on the Cowboys’ Thursday Night win over the Seahawks

Dez threw up the X and dropped a 10K

As the clock kept creeping closer to midnight on the east coast, football fans everywhere were holding their breath to see if the December Dallas Cowboys would show up on Thursday Night Football.

Turns out Dallas not only beat the Seattle Seahawks, 41-35, in the best Thursday tilt of the year by far, it got it all done before the calendar turned. There was never a doubt.

Especially not from former Cowboys great Dez Bryant, who was feeling extra confident in Dallas Cowboys before kickoff.

Like $10,000 worth of confidence.

The wideout claimed in a post that’s how much he wagered on the Cowboys to get the W.

Warning: NSFW Language

The only question is whether or Bryant took the Cowboys against the spread as 9.5-favorites or on the moneyline at -360. If it was the former, he can kiss that 10K goodbye, but at least Dallas got the win.

Former Cowboys star Dez Bryant calls the Commanders a ‘sleeper team’ for 2023

The former Cowboy can see big things for the Commanders in 2023.

Dez Bryant burst onto the scene as a rookie with the Dallas Cowboys in 2010. The first-round pick played in 12 games and caught 45 passes and six touchdowns.

It didn’t take long for Bryant to establish himself as the Cowboys’ No. 1 wide receiver, and before injuries slowed his career, he was considered one of the best in the NFL.

Washington fans remember Bryant well. The former Cowboy played in 14 games against Washington, recording 67 receptions for 977 yards and 14 touchdowns. He last played for Dallas in 2017, and he last appeared in the NFL in 2020, when he played in six games for the Ravens.

These days, Bryant has business interests outside of football but actively follows the NFL on Twitter, offering his analysis on all 32 teams. On Friday, Bryant called the Pittsburgh Steelers his sleeper team for 2023.

A Steelers fan responded, saying he didn’t see Pittsburgh as a sleeper team because everyone could already see the Steelers were good.

Bryant responded.

While no one is predicting the Commanders to reach the Super Bowl, some are taking notice of second-year quarterback Sam Howell and new offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy. If Howell becomes the quarterback Washington believes he can, paired with an outstanding defense, the Commanders have a chance to be good in 2023.

Former Cowboys WR Dez Bryant lists his Top 5 DB’s in the NFL including two ‘Bama players

Patrick Surtain and Trevon Diggs ranked as two of the top corners in the NFL by Cowboys legend Dez Bryant

Former Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant has always had a massive personality with no intentions of hiding it. He also might be a little of a Cowboys homer as he listed the top five cornerbacks in the NFL and the top two were both Cowboys corners.

Bryant currently views former Alabama CB [autotag]Trevon Diggs[/autotag] as the best in the game with his teammate Stephon Gilmore as a close second, like I said, no bias here. Diggs has been outstanding in terms of his ability to lock down elite receivers, but it is the special abilities he possesses as a playmaker that make him so important to the Cowboys’ defense.

Anyone who has followed the Crimson Tide knows how special Diggs has been dating back to his 99-yard scoop and score against Tennessee in 2019 that sealed the victory. However, it was his remarkable 2021 campaign with Dallas that really put him on the map as he led the NFL with an astounding 11 interceptions, two of which he returned for scores.

Bryant also includes Denver Broncos Patrick Surtain II on the list as the third-best CB in the league. If you removed Bryant’s Cowboys bias, I am sure that Surtain would be at the top of the list as he has pretty clearly established himself as the best corner in the game. Regardless, it is so cool to see two former Crimson Tide players ranked in Bryant’s top three especially when you consider the fact they spent two seasons together in Tuscaloosa.

Sauce Gardner and Jalen Ramsey were the other two corners that Bryant put on his list.

Dez Bryant is recruiting Jalen Ramsey to the Cowboys on Twitter

“I heard the next stop is the big D”

Jalen Ramsey is still a member of the Los Angeles Rams but his future with the team is uncertain. The Rams have gotten calls about trading the All-Pro cornerback and they’re considering making a deal.

Ramsey can’t pick his next team, seeing as he’s not a free agent, but that hasn’t stopped current and former players from recruiting him. The latest? Former Cowboys receiver Dez Bryant.

Bryant tweeted at Ramsey this week saying he “heard the next stop is the big D.” Dallas would make sense as a potential landing spot for Ramsey, but that doesn’t mean a deal will happen. Dez seems to love the idea of Ramsey trading in his horns for a star, though.

An interesting wrinkle in this is the fact that Ramsey said back in 2018 that he’ll “never play” for the Cowboys “unless the Joneses leave.” The Joneses, of course, are Jerry and Stephen Jones, who call the shots in Dallas.

Ramsey thought in 2016 that the Cowboys were going to take in him in the draft, being told that would be the case during his pre-draft visit with Dallas. But they opted to take Ezekiel Elliott instead and Ramsey went to the Jaguars one pick later.

If Ramsey still feels that way about the Cowboys, he’ll probably try to block any trade to Dallas – if Jones would even consider a deal.

Former All-Pro receiver goes on epic rant over Hunter Henry catch controversy

One former All-Pro receiver was so infuriated by the Hunter Henry catch controversy that he turned the game off and started playing Madden.

More than just New England Patriots fans are voicing their frustrations over the officials overturning Hunter Henry’s touchdown reception in Thursday’s game against the Minnesota Vikings.

You can include former All-Pro receiver Dez Bryant’s name to that list.

The former Dallas Cowboy knows a thing or two about having a big-time catch overturned after having a similar experience in a divisional playoff game against the Green Bay Packers nearly eight years ago.

So it’s no surprise he was infuriated after seeing it happen again on Thanksgiving night in a game that could have huge playoff ramifications for the Patriots. He fired off a slew of Twitter posts, via PFF’s Doug Kyed, condemning the officials for overturning the catch that was originally ruled as a touchdown.

Henry could clearly be seen hauling in the pass and reaching the ball over the plane, but the officials argued he didn’t maintain control throughout the catch.

It was déjà vu all over again for Bryant.

Maybe one day we’ll get to the point where the definition of a catch is universal and boiled down to its simplest form. But then again, I wouldn’t hold my breath considering it’s still a point of contention nearly a decade later.

Of course Dez Bryant immediately recognized Packers WR Romeo Doubs’ questionable non-TD ‘catch’

Romeo Doubs’ catch didn’t “survive the ground.” Dez Bryant knows all about that.

Dez Bryant knows a little something about hauling in big catches at Lambeau Field. He’s also intimately familiar with the NFL’s “surviving the ground” rules that define what is and isn’t a catch.

Bryant was the center of a playoff controversy in 2014 when what could have been a go-ahead fourth-and-two touchdown reception with 4:46 to play n a Divisional Round game was instead ruled an incompletion despite looking, well, a hell of a lot like a catch. Instead, the Packers got a boost from the league’s eternal struggle to determine what is and is not a catch and marched toward their typical postseason disappointment in the NFC title game days afterward.

Six-plus years later, Green Bay was the backdrop for another controversial non-catch when Romeo Doubs hauled in an Aaron Rodgers rainbow but couldn’t control it to the ground:

Bryant was watching — and he knew how familiar the whole thing felt.

Here’s Bryant’s non-catch that sent the Cowboys packing from the 2014 NFL Playoffs:

Pretty similar! Doubs’ drop forced Sunday’s game between the Patriots and Packers — a game in which Green Bay was a 9.5-point favorite against New England’s third-string quarterback — to overtime. While the ruling won’t have nearly the same impact it did on Bryant years ago, it still looks pretty damaging for the Packers in Week 4.

NFL fans were delighted by Dez Bryant hyping up Dallas when he showed up to Cowboys-Giants

This was the best cameo from Dez.

Any time the Giants and Cowboys (+1.5) play, it’s naturally going to have more eyeballs and more attention on it than the average game. Monday night was no different. Before New and Dallas squared off during Monday Night Football in Week 3, an old friend of the Cowboys made an appearance during pre-game festivities.

Dez Bryant, who made three Pro Bowls and an All-Pro team in eight seasons with the Cowboys, showed up in a pre-game interview while wearing a cowboy hat and sunglasses. And before the broadcast cut back to the usual studio analysis, Bryant had a hilarious way to insult the Giants as he harkened back to his Cowboys days:

(Warning: NSFW reference below)

Bryant hasn’t officially called it quits on his playing career, but he seems to be having all the fun nonetheless. Never change, Dez. Never change.
