Though nothing of much substance has come out as of yet, there are some rumors starting to swirl surrounding Dez Bryant and a potential return to the NFL.
According to ESPN’s John Keim, a few teams have reached out to Bryant and his agent, and they feel he will eventually get another chance in the league.
So the question then is which team would give him that chance? Is it possible that the Washington Redskins could act as a potential suitor? Let’s try to break it down a bit.
We all know that the Redskins have some talent at the WR position, but what they lack is veteran experience. At 31 years old with eight years in the NFL under his belt, it’s obvious that Bryant could bring some leadership to a young receiving corps and help guide them through the first or second year in the league. We also can believe that Bryant is still physically capable of being a solid contributor in an NFL offense, seeing as he was still playing at a high level when we last saw him in 2017, and he has reportedly lost 15-20 pounds.
Bryant has been rehabbing from Achilles injury that plagued his comeback with the New Orleans Saints, but it wouldn’t be a shock to see him get back onto the field at some point in the near future. If the Redskins poked around to see if there was mutual interest there, I think it could be highly beneficial to both parties.
