As uncertainty swirls around the 2020 NFL season, one former Cowboy made it clear where he stands. Wide receiver Dez Bryant took to Twitter on Tuesday, saying that he hopes the 2020 season is played because he “needs (his) redemption” on the league.
Bryant hasn’t played an NFL game since week 17 of the 2017 season, though he did sign with the New Orleans Saints during the 2018 season. Bryant suffered a torn achilles almost immediately after signing with the Saints, however, so it’s been quite some time since Bryant has had a chance to prove what he can do.
Bryant, of course, is one of the best wide receivers in Cowboys history. The three time Pro Bowler caught 531 balls for over 7,000 yards and 73 touchdowns during his time in Dallas, putting himself in “Ring of Honor” territory.
The Cowboys have plenty of weapons on the outside, especially after drafting Oklahoma’s CeeDee Lamb in the first round of the 2020 NFL Draft, so they certainly don’t have much interest in a Dez reunion.
Still, it would nice to see Bryant get another shot in the league this season.
The Boys need a 4th real receiver who can play when Cooper inevitably is limited by his feet.
Dez is the best ,veteran option.
Too many cancerous traits for a guy who won’t contribute on special teams. We don’t need a 10 year veteran taking that spot. He’s a one-trick pony who doesn’t even have the same hops anymore. Nite Dez!
Agreed, and we all know Cooper will end up missing some games!! If Dez is willing to take the 4th wide receiver position he’d be the best option to go with!! There’s no other free agent receiver out there that’s as good as he is!!
He’s it better than either Brown or Gordon. It’s cool you’re a fan of his and all (I am too), but be realistic.
That should have read as … “he is NOT better than Brown or Gordon”
So disrespectful….. One min they love you next min they hate you.. I would take Dez all day.. Dez’s last season with the cowboys wasn’t all his fault. Dak just wasn’t accurate when it came time to throw it to Dez..watch the tape and stop letting the media make your mind up for you. Put some respect on the all time TD receptions leader’s name..
LMFAO.. YES YES YES!!… Totally Agree. STOP IT! DEZ aka. Mr. X-FACTOR Was & Is One of Da BEST WRz in #COWBOYz History!! Also TOP 20 My Opinion Too this Point since Merge! TOP 10 NFL at Da Time! TOP 5 in Da BOYz History!(Yea I Said It)… DeF ROHz!.. Talk About Attitude Later!.. Lol. BYE HATERz # CB4L
It wasn’t his skill set that got him cut. It was his mouth. and actions on the sideline. Too disruptive during games when players need to be concentrating on their own jobs.
Dez + Cowboys = Clicks….. What exactly was the point of even writing this??
If Jason Witten was allowed to return, there shouldn’t be a problem with Dez returning. Do the right thing Jerry Jones or continue to allow staff to make poor choices due to personal feelings and media comments.
Dez is a Dallas Cowboy and he belongs nowhere else but on The. Cowboys Roster.
The difference you don’t seem to want to recognize is the there were other teams in the league who eagerly sought Witten’s services as he was signed almost immediately after his release … Dez in the other hand has been available to the entire league for over a year, and none are interested. In fact, there are teams looking into Antonio Brown and/or Josh Gordon over (a cheaper) Dez … that should tell you something.
If Dez can play let him come to camp and prove it.
I think that Dez want to prove it to himself that he is not washed up and that he still has it and because it is on his mind the failure of a player and that he needs to prove this to himself that he still the best wr out there and the best way to prove that is to comeback to the Cowboys and prove to himself and the fans that he is not washed up and he is still the best so i think that jerry should give him that.chance one more time because we all need one more chance to see him prove it that he is the best wr out there so let us give.him that chance. So please jerry do what is right and give him his chance to prove it.
Dez will be great in the slot! Bring him back
