It did, but the game and personality of Dez Bryant already cut his potential suitors in half. He wants a 1 yr prove it deal so that eliminates the team most interested in him (Ravens). He needs elite accuracy and an established presence at QB. And he also wants to have a significant role in an offense as he's looking for one more contract next year. How many teams could give him all that even if he was let go at a better time?
This off-season, teams looking for WR help were:
Buffalo
KC
Chicago
Arizona
Baltimore
NY Jets
Colts
Raiders
Washington
New Orleans
San Fran
Seattle
NY Giants
Patriots
Buffalo, Indy, Arizona, NYJ, and Chicago are all near the bottom of the league and have no established QB's. (Andrew Luck being the exception)
KC & Washington went with younger guys with more upside.
The Raiders and Seattle both signed veteran receivers in similar stages of their careers to Dez, but Gruden brought in Nelson as a veteran locker room presence who will do all the technical stuff required from a receiver. While Seattle had the opportunity to sign Dez, but turned to Marshall, who is older and just came off a serious injury.
We all know what happened with Baltimore.
The Niners and Saints have offenses that employ multiple weapons and Dez would have to be a niche player. These are possible spots if he is still interested and the timing of his release has effected neither of those opportunities.
The NYG seem to be a decent option but an Odell/Dez WR room sounds like a headache for an aging/diminishing QB; and they've got a lot of options ahead of him to get touches.
Maybe NE would have scooped him up, but I don't see then using a guy who can only do a few things. Especially when Gronk does those same things but better.
All in all, Dez's game and his theatrics in the Amazon feature have cost him. I do think he'll be on a team this year, but I think it'll take an injury or an acceptance of a lesser role to do so.
