With Week 1 just around the corner, Dez Bryant has seemingly made peace with knowing that he will not be on the field for the start of the season. The free agent wide receiver indicates that he’ll remain patient until he receives the right offer. 
“I just have to take care of me first,” Bryant said on Twitter. “I will play ball this year just might be a lil bit later in the year.. we will see.”
Bryant has rejected at least two deals this offseason that would have had him in uniform for the start of the season. The Ravens pitched him on a three-year deal worth approximately $21MM, but Bryant turned them down because he wanted a one-year deal instead. The Browns offered him a one-year deal in August, but it was for less than $5MM and, apparently, not to his liking.
A potential landing spot opened up this week when the Jaguars lost Marqise Lee for the season, but they’re content with their current group of receivers. Many of you are in agreement with the Jags’ stance as Monday night’s poll on the subject is roughly split down the middle.
Right now, there’s no team in the NFL that is willing to meet Bryant’s asking price – whatever that may be. But, instead of settling for less, the former Cowboys star is willing to wait, even if it means missing out on part of the 2018 season.
Thanks for posting yet another Dez Bryant, it’s been a whole seven hours since the last article went live.
Seven hours seems like an eternity when you look at how frequently they feature articles on Mack being traded.
And it beats the daily posts about a guy that hasn’t played in the league in a long time and is suing them for collusion.
Come on Giants pick him up on a huge incentive deal
An opportunity to play against the Cowboys twice during the season should be incentive enough.
Absolutely
Incentives he’s never going to reach because he will be a third stringer
Just typical Dez actions. Should have taken those offers fro the Ravens and Browns, huh Dez? Thinks he’s still the receiver he was 5 years ago. Not even close. Still has the same attitude he had 5 years ago, no one wants to put up with it with average production, still wants the same elite money he got 5 years ago, you’re not worth it anymore. So, you know what Dez, hold out for the team that fits you best. Hold out for the money that you want. I’m the meantime it might be helpful to learn the following phrase; I just want to help the team win, there is no I in Team, It’s all about winning not my stats, and the most important phrase of all, do you want fries with that?
Averaged over his career, Dez Bryant is marginally better than T.O. was in his last year (at age 37). If Dez keeps it up, he’s going to find himself “not retired” 5 years after his last season… Kevin Federline can tell Dez what happens when you care more about yourself than you do about winning, and he can show him how to salt the fries, too.
Well said. But then again OBJ just got paid. I personally think it was stupid. What has he done lately? Dez can sit for awhile now.
Remember when Dez came in the league and totaled 4k yards in 3 years? No, because OBJ nearly hit Dez’s first 3 years in just 2 years, just 116 yards shy. Dez maxed out shy of 4k in his best 3 years, averaging 82 yards/game. In the last 3 years, Dez averaged just 53.
OBJ averaged 75 yards/game last year. So if you’re honestly asking that question, he got injured and he’s STILL a top 4 WR in the league. Dez isn’t even close to that.
I’m getting reminded of Keyshawn Johnson
Dez just has to wait a few games for Kevin White to get injured again. The Bears will overpay him the same way they did with Mike Glennon.
He’s still waiting for the big money. Geez…..
Gotta earn enough to make sure his mom ain’t stuck walking the streets again…
You’d think he’d take less to win a ring… some guys just only see green
What super bowl contender is even rumored to be slightly interested? Ravens….. nope…. Browns….. HA HA HA….. Jags? Where is the contender interested
Then we’ll get a “I’m waiting to sign next camp” after this year of nobody wanted him….it’ll be a vicious circle
