patneiler Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 http://www.espn.com/blog/nflnation/post/_/id/272427/where-will-dez-bryant-land-teams-that-could-be-a-fit Quote Interest in Bryant can't be ruled out -- because the Bills have a need at wide receiver. They have invested resources in Zay Jones (drafted in the second round last year) and Kelvin Benjamin (acquired in a trade for third- and seventh-round picks last season), but the results left something to be desired. The Bills lost Deonte Thompson and Jordan Matthews in free agency, so they could use some veteran help. -- Mike Rodak 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBeane Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 I just don't see it happening. You have to think the Cowboys offered him some where around that $8mil mark because that is what it cost to cut him. So Dez is probably looking to get a contract between $8M - $12M. So for #1 we don't have the cap room for that, and for #2 he doesn't really fit the character mold the McBeanes are trying to build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't love his attitude. he still had close to 900 yards last year and is 29 years old. Oh he played like the last half of the season on a sprained ankle.

So for #1 we don't have the cap room for that, and for #2 he doesn't really fit the character mold the McBeanes are trying to build. I agree, I dont see this happening. But we definitely have plenty of cap room if they wanted him. But, that being said, McD and Beane have been VERY vocal about the culture of the locker room, and Bryant doesn't seem to fit into those plans. Add in he is a big injury risk every year, I doubt they see him worth the gamble. Dont get me wrong, I wouldn't complain at all if we signed him, as I do think we need WR help especially ZJ had a terrible rookie season and even worse off season so far and KB is also injury prone, especially his knees. So we need WR help, and Dez is still a talent. But, I don't see him as the guy our FO is going to look at for help and expect them to probably draft a guy with some speed too. In fact if we dont trade most our early picks to get a QB (like a cheaper trade up to 5-10 or no trade up at all), I think its possible we will target one in the 2nd.
