5:35pm: Bryant’s free agency tour could continue in Tennessee. The veteran wideout plans to work out with the Titans if he doesn’t sign a deal with the Cowboys tomorrow, per Bleacher Report’s Jordan Schultz.
9:40am: When news of Martavis Bryant‘s reinstatement came, it was reported he was drawing interest. That has resulted in the first known workout for the veteran wideout in his bid to return to the NFL.
Bryant will visit the Cowboys on Tuesday, per Dianna Russini of The Athletic. That will give him the opportunity to earn what would no doubt be a practice squad deal with Dallas if things go according to plan, as teams routinely take the taxi squad route to slowly bring along veteran additions. The Cowboys currently have one open spot on their practice squad.
The 31-year-old was officially reinstated on Saturday, paving the way for a deal with any interested team. Bryant last played in 2018 during his brief Raiders tenure, and he bounced around other levels of professional football since that time. It would come as a surprise if the former Steelers fourth-rounder made his way onto an active roster (or at least earned notable playing time) down the stretch this season, but an impressive showing in front of the Cowboys could accelerate his return to gameday lineups.
Dallas is set atop the WR depth chart with CeeDee Lamb, Brandin Cooks and Michael Gallup. Lamb has lived up to expectations this year with four games over 117 receiving yards (including each of the past three contests) but the latter two have been much less consistent in complementary roles. The Cowboys also have the likes of Jalen Tolbert and returner KaVontae Turpin as options at the receiver spot.
If Bryant’s workout goes well, he could soon find himself inking a deal with the Cowboys to give the team depth in their pass-catching corps. A strong showing could, however, increase interest from other teams, including those which may offer a clearer path to an active roster spot. It will be interesting to see how tomorrow’s visit plays out.
Dallas Cowboys. Patron Saints of the NFL criminal, Past and Present. Exactly what do you have to do where the Cowboy’s won’t hire you. I bet if OJ could still run he’d get a tryout.
Wrong, sigh, false narrative. When it comes to having and signing players with criminal problems, the Cowboys are nowhere near the top of that list. Look at Kansas City, Cincinnati, Miami etc etc etc before embarrassing yourself.
What is it about outspoken Uncles?
Keep telling yourself that and maybe you’ll believe yourself.
There’s this search engine called Google. Maybe one of your young nephews or nieces can show you how to use it.

FYI – there are 32 teams in the NFL
And How many corrupt Texas Judges and Cops has Jones bought off? You left that part out.
Man, you just don’t say Uncle, even when you’re proven wrong. I’d respect you more if you would be man enough to acknowledge that you were mistaken, or just being hyperbolic.
Yeah, the Cowboys are the only team in the NFL to play all of their games at home – no road games. And they only sign players that are from Texas, no out-of-staters. And cowboy players are not allowed to leave the state in the off-season. And even if they were allowed to leave Texas, Jones doesn’t pay them enough to travel – they’re all paid minimum wage.
You have it all figured out.
If you hadn’t just made all that crap up that is. Get that from Dateline or TMZ?
Well if this ain’t a match made in heaven, what is?
Smoke anotha one
I don’t understand this argument. He had substance abuse issues…in his 20s. How many of you guys f’d around in your 20s? Does this mean he doesn’t deserve another shot? Say what you will about Jerry, but he genuinely cares for his players. He has a track record of helping guys with troubled past. Give the guy a chance.
He brought bong out on sideline.
For the love of all things Jerry Jones, ai hope he pushes Gallup down the depth chart.
bro couldn’t even push Geronimo Allison down the depth chart on the Vegas Vipers lol
Hey Buffalo, you might wanna take a look at him cuz Big Game Gabe was MIA last night
He isn’t a criminal he just likes to smoke. He was a great wr for the Steelers. To bad nfl did drug testing for weed. He said was a good dude just couldn’t stop smoking
not only that he got put under a microscope and was scaoegoated for it, so the league could pretend it was upholding the policy while only going after certain players like Martavis and Josh Gordon.
.. I personally know a former steeler who smoked weed nonstop , he said after your rookie year, you just gotta be clean for an initial test in camp, then don’t get tested again all year.
Sweet sweet chiba … ur my only friend.
Hey Uncle Mike check your phone Uncle Rico is calling you to come back to practice. He threw the ball over the mountain to you and needs you to throw it back.
