Free agent wide receiver Dez Bryant has been without a team after being unceremoniously released by the Dallas Cowboys a week before the 2018 NFL draft. Since, he turned down at least one long-term offer to join the Baltimore Ravens and has been connected to other teams to no avail. Now, as he seems to be truly ready to rejoin the NFL, Bryant launched a bombshell on Twitter, stating he would prefer to rejoin the Dallas Cowboys.
The Cowboys have not been great in the wide receiver department through the team’s first four games. Cole Beasley is the team’s leading receiver with 16 catches for 185 yards. Tavon Austin leads the club with two receiving touchdowns but just 81 yards. The club continues to struggle in the red zone.
Bryant, of course, has not had the most friendly relationship with the club since his departure. It was made clear the team struggled with the idea of losing their franchise leader in touchdown receptions, but it seemed the majority ruled among the coaching staff and front office who would rather proceed without him. There was major controversy during the offseason when Sirius XM NFL radio misrepresented a Stephen Jones quote that made it appear he was blaming Bryant for the struggles of quarterback Dak Prescott during his second year.
Bryant’s Twitter response included vitriol towards multiple players he feels didn’t have his back including linebacker Sean Lee whom he called a snake.
Bryant’s primary target was the playcalling, which many have questioned over the course of the offseason and the 2018 season’s first three weeks.
Throughout the offseason, as many wondered why Bryant wasn’t signing with a team, including the Cleveland Browns after making an appearance on Hard Knocks, Bryant has hinted that he needed to make sure he was right before returning to football. It originally was thought to be related to his physical health. Bryant had previously complained that playing while injured had led to people believing he was a lesser player instead of one toughing it out through injuries.
Recently on Instagram though, Bryant seemed to reveal he was also taking care of himself mentally, citing anxiety, depression and panic attacks.
Would the Cowboys consider bringing Bryant back after the messy divorce? Some would say no, but after bringing Brice Butler back it’s hard to rule out. Butler went on the TV circuit to bash Dallas after becoming a free agent this offseason and now he’s back, although he hasn’t suited up in the two games since re-signing. Butler hasn’t been one-tenth of the receiver Bryant is, so maybe there’s a chance he actually could find a home back in Dallas.
