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.
