Veteran wideout Dez Bryant is continuing to plot his NFL comeback. This time, he’ll try to convince Baltimore Ravens to give him a shot to play football for the first time since 2017.
NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reports that Bryant is expected to visit Baltimore Ravens this week and have a workout in hopes of landing a contract.
The 31-year-old player missed the previous two seasons with torn Achilles tendon but is now in shape and motivated, according to Pelissero.
Ravens are on the market for a wide receiver, looking to pair a veteran wideout with 2019’s first-round pick Marquise Brown and rookie Devin Duvernay. The organization considered several names, but the choice hasn’t been so great on the free market. This is probably one of the reasons why they are willing to take a gamble on Bryant.
Dez Bryant spent the first eight years of his career with Dallas Cowboys, who took him 24th overall in 2010. During his time with the franchise, he earned three Pro Bowl selections while becoming Cowboys’ all-time leader in receiving touchdowns with 73.
Dallas released Bryant during the 2018 offseason as part of moves to cut their costs. He eventually signed with New Orleans Saints later that year but failed to play a single game due to injury.
