It’s always cool when a professional athlete engages with a fan, and probably makes the fan starstruck in the process. In our current age of social media, such things happen a lot more often than they used to, and such was the case earlier this week.

A fan asked Dez Bryant on Twitter if he had any plans to play next season, adding that he really hopes so. Bryant saw the tweet, and clearly appreciated what the fan said, because he then earnestly responded, “I plan on playing 2 more years, and that’s it for me.”

He likely made the fan’s day, but he also let the rest of us know about his plans in the process.

In another tweet, Bryant also let his fans know that he wouldn’t be staying with the Baltimore Ravens, claiming: “Baltimore wasn’t the place for me.”

However, given Bryant’s high level of talent, he’ll likely receive plenty of interest from many teams.

For the majority of his career, Bryant played for the Dallas Cowboys, where he put up massive numbers. Those stats included 531 catches for 7,459 yards and 73 TDs over eight years.

Former Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant has been signed to the Baltimore Ravens practice squad after being out of the NFL for two years.

The veteran confirmed the news on social media, stating that he was emotional and thankful for the opportunity to restart his career.

There is no timeline for when Bryant could suit up for the Ravens in a game, but the team needs him badly. Despite having a great defense and current league MVP Lamar Jackson at quarterback, the Ravens receivers have been underwhelming, ranking last in the NFL in both receptions and receiving yards.

The 31-year-old Bryant is a big-body, possession receiver who should be able to become a red-zone threat for the Ravens and complement the speed of fellow wide receiver Marquise “Hollywood” Brown.

While playing eight seasons with the Dallas Cowboys, Bryant was dominant, totaling 531 recepts for 7,459 yards and 73 touchdown catches, which is a franchise record.

Bryant originally worked out for Baltimore in August but left without a contract.

In his first attempt to get back in the league in 2018, Bryant signed a one-year deal with the New Orleans Saints but ended up tearing his Achilles tendon during his first practice with the team.

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.

The Baltimore Ravens are planning to host former Pro Bowl wide receiver Dez Bryant for a workout at some point this week as part of the former star’s battle to get back into the league.

Bryant, who didn’t sign a new contract after leaving the Dallas Cowboys 2018 until November, promptly tore his Achilles tendon after joining the Saints mid-season and hasn’t played in a game since.

The Oklahoma State alum, who made the 2013, 2014, and 2016 Pro Bowls during his time in Dallas, was once considered one of the best wideouts in the entire NFL.

After eclipsing the 1,000-yard mark in three consecutive seasons from 2012 to 2014, Bryant saw his production slowly decline in every season after that and struggled with injury problems.

Still, at only 31 years old Bryant could help a Ravens squad that has one of the youngest and most inexperienced wide receiving units in the league. He could provide a big, experienced target for star quarterback Lamar Jackson as the team looks to push towards its first Super Bowl since 2012.

The team will evaluate Bryant further after his workout and if he does sign with the team, we should know something in the next couple of weeks.

Is it possible for Dallas Cowboys and wideout Dez Bryant to reunite after two seasons apart? Well, Cowboys’ owner and general manager Jerry Jones certainly thinks so.

Bryant has been out of the league for the past two years, recovering from a torn Achilles tendon. However, the 31-year-old is determined to make a comeback, and a familiar place like Dallas could be the perfect spot for this. And it turns out that this option is more probable than people initially thought.

Speaking with reporters on Thursday, Jones was asked about Bryant’s return to the franchise where he spent the eight years of his career and gave an interesting answer.

“I’ve been thinking about it a lot in the shower,” said Jones. “I have been. I’m not dismissing it. I don’t want to sound like it should be dismissed by saying it. I’m thinking about it.”

During his time with the Cowboys, Dez Bryant made three Pro Bowls and one First-Team All-Pro while setting the franchise record in receiving touchdowns with 73. Jones, however, decided to cut Bryant following the 2017 NFL season due to his big salary and diminishing production.

After sitting most of 2018, Bryant signed with the New Orleans Saints, becoming a part of a team that had real chances of making it to Super Bowl. However, he ended up getting injured in his first practice with Saints and hasn’t played football since then.

It’s believed that Bryant is now fully recovered, but there are questions if he can be an impactful player after two years away from the sport. We’ll now have to wait and see whether he’ll get a chance to answer then and will it be in Cowboys’ jersey.

The New Orleans Saints confirmed Dez Bryant tore his Achilles tendon on Friday and could remain sidelined for the rest of the season.

Bryant was signed by the Saints on Tuesday and Thursday was his second day at practice. On Friday, the 30-year-old tore his Achilles tendon while doing a routine run. Although the wide receiver is yet to have an official scan, club doctors already believe Bryant’s Achilles is torn and fear he could remain sidelined for the rest of the season.

If Bryant’s injury woes continue, it will be a big blow to the wide receiver who had just started rebuilding his career since he was waived by the Cowboys in April. The 30-year-old signed a lucrative extension with Dallas in 2015, one year after making it to the All-Pro team in 2014.

However, Bryant failed to impress the Cowboys between 2016 and 2017 and was ultimately released in April. He visited the Cleveland Browns and the Baltimore Ravens during the offseason for contract negotiations but did not make any commitments until Tuesday.

While speaking to reporters, the wide receiver heaped praise at Saints’ Drew Brees and said the players at New Orleans were one reason he chose to join the club.

“For one, who wouldn’t want to play with Drew Brees?” Bryant asked reporters. “Not taking away from nobody else, but a guy like Drew Brees. Like I said, you got a guy like Michael Thomas, Watson, Alvin Kamara, Mark Ingram—you got those types of guys—little baby GOATS around here.”

How the Saints performs henceforth remains to be seen, but what’s clear is that they need to add depth to their wide receiver position.

New Orleans Saints are looking to increase the depth of their wide receivers core and are reportedly set to work out several WRs. The list includes former Dallas Cowboys’ star Dez Bryant, Pro Bowler Brandon Marshall, and Kamar Aiken, who last played with the Philadelphia Eagles.

It is currently unclear whether the Saints are looking to add one of these players to their active roster or they just want to get familiar with the market in case they have a need at the position at some later point in the season.

Some would argue that New Orleans should make a move for a WR immediately, given the fact that they are currently thin at the position. Veteran Ted Ginn Jr., who had 787 receiving yard and four touchdowns in 2017, is currently on injured reserve list due to a knee injury while Cameron Meredith, who signed in April, is struggling to find his true form.

This means that only Pro Bowler Michael Thomas and Tre’Quan Smith are the only two productive wide receivers in the roster, which is a concerning fact for the team that has Super Bowl aspirations.

Dez Bryant is currently the best available free-agent on the market, but it remains to be seen whether New Orleans Saints are willing to give him the money he is looking for. The salary was one of the main reasons why Bryant passed on several opportunities to play football this season.

Brandon Marshall was recently released by the Seattle Seahawks after his production dropped in the past few weeks, but he still might be a solid third or fourth option for a contender.

Can you believe that former All-Pro wide receiver Dez Bryant is still without a team? Bryant was released by the Dallas Cowboys in April, and after four weeks of football in 2018, he is still without a job.

Although he had offers from several teams, including the Baltimore Ravens and the Cleveland Browns, the 29-year-old decided to reject them, saying that he is waiting for a “right fit.” It turns out that the “right fit” would be returning to Cowboys.

Following a question from one fan about his next destination, Dez Bryant responded that he would “rather it be the Dallas Cowboys,” but if that doesn’t turn out to be the case, he’ll be “ready to play somewhere else.”

When you think about it, the idea of Dez Bryant coming back to Dallas Cowboys doesn’t sound so crazy. Cowboys badly need a wide receiver, given the fact that they are currently ranked 30th in the league. Their leading receiver is Cole Beasley, who managed to catch 16 passes for 185 yards, while wide receiver Tavon Austin, tight end Geoff Swain and running back Ezekiel Elliott are the only players on the team that has managed to catch a touchdown pass.

On the other side, Bryant, who is the best available WR on the market, looks like he doesn’t want to leave Dallas after spending eight years there. It is strange that a player of his caliber doesn’t have a contract yet, so it wouldn’t be out of the question that he is undermining talks with other teams so he would receive another chance in Dallas.

Since getting drafted by Cowboys in the first round of 2010 NFL Draft, Dez Bryant played 113 regular season games, and managed to catch 531 passes for 7,459 yards and 73 touchdowns.

With most NFL teams preparing to enter training camp, former Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant still hasn’t found a job in the league. Now he might find one in Cleveland.

Cleveland Browns suddenly became in need of a WR after Josh Gordon decided to miss training camp and focus on his health, and backup Ricardo Louis was ruled out for the season after neck surgery. This was when Browns started discussing the possibility of adding Dez Bryant according to general manager John Dorsey.

“Have we had discussions about Dez Bryant?” – Dorsey told reporters ahead of the first day of training camp. “Yeah, that’s natural. You’re going to have discussions like that. Now, we’ll see what comes to fruition in the next couple days, but we’ve talked about it.“

Dorsey went on to add that he had a chance to get to know Bryant and that he considers him a very talented player.

“I’ve had a chance to be around Dez,” – he said. “I’ve known Dez. I got a chance, when he was down there at Lufkin, Texas, I actually went to his workout and got a chance to meet him down there. I know what kind of person he is and what makes him. He’s a very talented player.“

At one point in his career, Dez Bryant was considered one of the most talented wide receivers in the league and an All-Pro caliber player. From 2012 to 2014, Bryant had more than 1,200 receiving yards and more than 12 touchdowns each year. Still, he suffered a foot injury in 2015 and never managed to return to this level of play. His lower production alongside a big contract and several off-field issues caused the Cowboys to released Bryant on April 13, 2018, after he spent eight seasons with the franchise.

Wide receiver Dez Bryant is still on the market after being released by the Dallas Cowboys on April 13. According to ESPN, Bryant had a multiyear offer from the Baltimore Ravens on the table but decided to reject it. Sources close to the 28-year-old said that he wants a one year deal, so he can prove himself in the 2018 season and ask for a more lucrative long-term deal in 2019.

Ravens have been interested in Dez Bryant since the 2010 NFL draft when they had a shot to take him 25th overall. Still, Cowboys traded up three spots and snatched him 24th overall. Sports Illustrated reports that Ravens immediately started talks with Bryant after his release from Cowboys, but the two sides couldn’t reach an agreement. After that, the team turned to former New Orleans Saints WR Willie Snead, signing him instead.

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported earlier in the week that Bryant will sign with a new team after the 2018 NFL draft. The player himself stated that he is looking for a team that would be a good fit for him and that the finances won’t play the deciding role. He also added that he hopes to stay in NFC East, so he could play against the Cowboys twice a year.

“It won’t be about the money,” – Bryant told 247Sports. “It won’t be about ‘market value.’ No. No. Not at all. I’m kinda hoping it’s an NFC East team. If it’s somewhere else, that’s fine. But I’d like to play the Cowboys twice.“

Dez Bryant has been struggling with production in the last several years after having three consecutive seasons with more than 1,000 receiving yards from 2012 to 2014. He finished the 2017 season playing in all 16 games and managing 69 receptions for 838 yards and six touchdowns.
