Dez Bryant is out for revenge. The former Cowboys wide receiver went on record with Mike Fisher of 105.3 The Fan to express his desire to play for a Dallas rival.
“I’m kinda hoping it’s an NFC East team,” Bryant said. “If it’s somewhere else, that’s fine. But I’d like to play the Cowboys twice.”
Not all of the Cowboys’ divisional rivals make sense for Bryant, however. The Redskins, who already have Josh Doctson, Jamison Crowder, and Paul Richardson, do not have him on their radar. And while it’s fun to think about the defending champions adding Bryant to the fold, the Eagles don’t have enough wiggle room under the cap to make that happen. That leaves the Giants, and Bryant is intrigued by their roster.
“The Giants got a helluva defense, they’re going to pay [Odell Beckham Jr.] Playing with him, Sterling Shepard, the tight end [Evan Engram], Eli Manning? Crazy,” Bryant said. “They draft (Penn State running back) Saquon Barkley with the No. 2 overall pick)? That’d be crazy!”
Fisher personally gets the sense that the Giants would be Bryant’s No. 1 choice. It remains to be seen whether Giants GM Dave Gettleman feels the same way about Bryant and whether he’s willing to bring such a bold personality into his locker room.
Giants will sign Dez for the league minimum.
Funny that Dez didn’t mention Brandon Marshall.
Ha
Sign a formerly great receiver past his prime! The giants did that last year…
Yeah, too bad it’s never worked with anyone else, like, say, Anquan Boldin.
Adding a player that requires defensive attention is a smart add. If Giants can get him cheap, they should!
With Dez they would also get a player that requires psychological attention so I guess that makes it an extra smart add.
DEPTH at WR is just smart business. Depending on what they can get Bryant at, and if they can renegotiate Marshall’s contract, signing Bryant is a no brainer. Look at what happened last year with zero depth.
I think Marshall will be cut as soon as he’s he cleared. He looked like he didn’t want to play last year and ran routes with 10 lbs. weights around his ankles.
As a cowboy fan. U can have him giants. He’s done.
69 receptions, 838 yards and six TD’s. That may not be WR1 numbers, but it sure as hell isn’t “done.”
That came from a Mets and Cowboys fan, so take it with a grain of…no wins in the last 54 seasons.
As a cowboys fan, I would love for him to sign with the Giants
His declining skills and his ascending pain in the ass skills IMO means not many will want him unless price is right. It’s more so of who wants him
Could sign him to 1 year deal but is Eli still capable of passing?
Dez has already proven he is not the sharpest. This just furthers that narrative.
Looks like Dez is going to try the “opposite” approach that was made popular in a Seinfeld episode. Insult the GMs ability to conduct a draft and thereby persuade him to hire you….lol.

LMFAOOOOOO all u cowboy fans are mad salty
The cowboys are gonna be trash
Maybe so, but they have won 7 of the last 10 against the Giants who won’t gain any edge by stealing Dez.
Send the bum to the North Korean league.
When did Dez’s brain leave earth orbit?
Eli Manning to Dez Bryant? If it were 2014, that could be scary!!
If he needs a Uber driver give me a call.
Maybe OBJ and Dez attitudes will offset each other. I know Dez is ultra competitive but he could probably help OBJ keep his focus. Personally I wouldn’t sign him. But I also want to trade OBJ and trade down to stockpile picks. Giants have a lot holes to fill.
Do not want.
