I’m not sure how the Dez thing works out although I’m rooting for him big time, also I’ve been a BIG fan of the way Baltimore goes about the business of winning football games....

Oh boy. Bryant get another chance to drop passes. Lets see the last season he played he led the league in drops. He was never what anyone would call a speedy receiver and being 3 years older father time as probably taken some speed from him. So all he has is that one thing that made him a one trick pony and that is maybe he can still out jump a defender. People if Bryant was even just an average receiver he wouldn't have had to wait until now to get a chance.

Good luck to him! His sideline manor turned a lot of people off, but Dez gave his soul to the cowboys. At least he cared about winning; that’s more than can be said of most of the 2020 roster

That may be, but it's nice to see that he's having another go at it. He played with a lot of passion while here. I wish him well with his new team.

No he just didn't do anything for the Cowboys after he signed his last contract except came 1 drop short of leading the league in drops and then the very next year did lead the league in drops. I didn't even mention the problems he caused in the locker room his last season.

If he was a really good receiver his entire time in Dallas I would probably wish him luck but he wasn't. In fact his play had declined enough that the Cowboys didn't even offer him a new contract when his was up and just let him walk. If the saints hadn't lost their #1 and #3 receivers in back to back weeks Bryant probably would have ended up unsigned for the entire 2018 season. Good players don't sit unsigned, certainly not until week 10 of the 2018 season and then all of 2019 and until week 8 of 2020. People say he took 2019 off because of his injury but former players who had the same injury said that he was ready to go by week 3 or 4 in 2019 at the latest yet no team was interested in him. I think to many people here remember Bryant 2011 era and not what he was in 2016 and 2017.

We come to anywhere from 1-4 home games a year. About 3 or 4 years ago we came out, and as always, went to uptown in Dallas to one of our favorite places, the Fat Rabbit(closed down since then). We had become friends with the manager, and he always hooked us up when we came to town. So we show up, place is packed and he sees us and tells his staff to seat us(there was an hour wait). He comes over ad he knows we are huge fans. IM pretty sure this must have been Sunday night, after the game as I had on my jersey. Anyways, he says hey, Dez just left. I was like ****... no, seriously, Dez just left. We walk outside and a Bentley is just pulling out of the parking lot and coming towards us. No crap, its Dez. Im wearing my Dez jersey and he stops, rolls down window in middle of the road and takes a pic with us (hes still inhis car). Made my trip as I love Dez Bryant. I hope he tears it up and throws up the damn X. The ravens just became the team im rooting for this year.
