Veteran wideout Dez Bryant won’t suit up for the Baltimore Ravens. At least, not in the near future.
Bryant, who hasn’t played since 2017, spent the previous couple days working out for Ravens in hopes of landing a deal for the upcoming season. According to reports from NFL Network, however, the visit hasn’t been fruitful.
Baltimore decided not to sing Bryant for the time being, although the organization didn’t exclude revisiting the possibility at some later date.
Ravens tried to sign Bryant back in 2018 after the three-time Pro Bowler got released by the Dallas Cowboys but got rejected. At the time, Bryant didn’t want to commit to a multi-year contract as he was looking to prove himself on a short-term deal. He ended up joining New Orleans Saints but suffered Achilles tendon injury, which caused him to past two seasons.
Reportedly, Ravens opted against signing Bryant as they believe in the young receiving core. Baltimore’s WR depth chart includes last year’s picks Marquise Brown and Miles Boykin, veteran Willie Snead and 2020’s third-round selection Devin Duvernay.
It is unclear whether there is interest from other teams in Bryant, who has 531 receptions for 7,459 yards and 73 touchdowns since entering the league in 2010.
