- Never played a game for the Saints but he'd call them first over us! Harumph!!!! Excerpts:

Dez Bryant doesn't know when he's going to be returning to football, but he does know which team he's going to call first when that return happens.
During a recent interview with CBS Sports Radio's Tiki and Tierney, Bryant revealed that he's going to have his agent, Kim Miale, get in contact with the Saints as soon as he's ready to play.
"Whenever I get right, I'm going to hit my agent up and I'm going to let Kim know, 'Hey let's go, I'm ready to go. Make sure you call the Saints first. I owe them,'" Bryant said.
Calling the Saints first is definitely a move that would makes sense for Bryant. For one, they were the team that signed him in 2018 after the Cowboysdecided to cut ties with the veteran. Also, the Saints could still use some receiving help behind Michael Thomas. Plus, let's not forget the fact that the Saints were interested in bringing him back this offseason even though he's coming off a serious injury that he suffered last year. Back in November, Bryant tore his Achilles in practice before even playing a single game with New Orleans.
After nearly eight months of rehab, Bryant sounds like he's almost ready to return to the field. As a matter of fact, Bryant sounded pretty confident when he was asked if he thought he would end up playing in the NFL this year.
Since Bryant plans on playing this year, that obviously means he's not retiring, something that he's had to point out multiple times over the past month. Not only did he tweet about it in July, but he told Tiki and Tierney that he has no plans to retire anytime.
After eight months of rehabbing his Achilles, Bryant said he's almost feeling like himself again.
The reason Bryant isn't in training camp with an NFL team right now is because he doesn't feel like he's quite ready to play.
