The Titans are down a wide receiver after granting Rishard Matthews‘ request for a release, and that vacancy could potentially lead them to Dez Bryant. When asked about the free agent, GM Jon Robinson told reporters that he is “looking at all players to see who fits on this football team.” However, he cautioned that the club probably won’t add another wide receiver immediately (Twitter link via Jim Wyatt of the team website).
Bryant is still out of work as we near October, and other clubs with wide receiver needs have more or less dismissed the idea of signing him. Recently, Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll indicated that the team will not be adding Bryant, despite Doug Baldwin‘s partial MCL tear.
Bryant, who doesn’t turn 30 until November, has hinted at wanting to join the Patriots or Redskins, but neither team seems interested. The Redskins didn’t reach out despite some injuries to their receiver group and the Patriots are already busy getting Josh Gordon up to speed on the playbook.
Matthews amassed nearly 1,000 yards receiving for the Titans in 2016, so Bryant, one of the league’s best receivers from 2012-2014, could be of use. Still, the Titans may want to focus on getting their offense to click on the whole while properly utilizing Corey Davis, a promising young talent who has yet to find the end zone in his 14 NFL games.
Ironically Dez will end up back with Dallas this season. You heard it here first!
Doubt that. but anything possibly
It’s what the cowboys should do but too many egos involved
Dez still sucks, still glad hes out of work, no team wants a reject on there team
