The Dallas Cowboys have plenty of offseason needs that will rise to the surface in short order. With their season likely set to expire  following the Week 17 game against Washington, Dallas has an unprecedented 24 free agents they’ll have to either re-sign or replace.

One former player may be interested in finding a role with the only team he’s suited up for. Wideout Dez Bryant responded to a fan inquiry by stating he’d be interested in joining back up with Dallas after sitting out all of 2018 and 2019 due to various ailments.

Bryant is currently the team’s all-time touchdown reception leader with 73, playing for Dallas from 2010 through 2017. He was released in free agency of 2018 and worked to build his health back up. During the season, he signed with the New Orleans Saints, but tore his achilles in a Friday practice before making his debut. He sat out this year but has spent it regularly engaged on Twitter while working out diligently to prepare for a comeback.

Would Dallas be interested in bringing Bryant back? As he mentions in the tweet, he’s been one of the best red-zone threats the NFL has seen. It certainly would be some reunion after the way he and the team parted ways.

Seahawks feel set at wide receiver even after loss of Josh Gordon

The Seattle Seahawks are comfortable with the six receivers they have, even after losing Josh Gordon to another suspension for drug abuse.

The Seattle Seahawks receiving corps took a big hit earlier this week when it was announced that Josh Gordon would be suspended, yet again, for violation of the league’s substance abuse policy.

However, despite losing their No. 3 receiver, who had a spectacular 59-yard catch against the Panthers in his final game, coach Pete Carroll isn’t too worried about the depth at that position going forward – although he stuck with his mantra about the team always looking for ways to get better.

“We’re always looking, but I like our guys,” Carroll said on Wednesday. “We had seven guys active last week, so we’re still in good shape at this point. We’re always looking.”

The loss of Gordon will shift David Moore back into the No. 3 receiver role, and increases the role of both Jaron Brown and Malik Turner.

Rookie John Ursua was active last week as well, and could continue to be a part of the 46-man active roster this season.

Considering the team’s confidence in Moore and Turner, it does seem unlikely they will pursue any additions to their receiving group – although intriguing names like Dez Bryant and Antonio Brown will certainly at least merit a phone call.

For now, the Seahawks will go into Week 16 against the Cardinals with the six receivers they have, looking to pad their lead in the crowded NFC playoff picture.
