Hang on there....

Bryant left town without a contract on Friday, and the two sides did not come close to an agreement. Bryant is seeking a one-year "prove-it'' deal and wants to play for a contender. But the asking price may be too high for the Browns. In April, Bryant turned down a three-year, $21 million offer from the Ravens.

The three-time Pro Bowler will remain on the Browns' radar, but they're not expected to sign him anytime soon.

He's all over social media in general talking about workouts and plays on Monday Night Football and what he had for breakfast ..... so what!

Obviously I'm not gonna change your mind bud, and you're not gonna change mine. All we can do is hope it works out if he does end up signing.

This reminds me, I remember thinking yesterday, why in the hell in that moment of needing a 3rd down completion, would you trust to throw the ball to Arnold? But this is also part of why we need another consistent threat that can catch. Adding Dez may put us more in line with teams like KC.

Oh **** no. This is a good locker room but it’s full of young players who haven’t learned how to handle success. There have already been some rumblings about Kamara and Thomas’s antics. I think they are at a point where they have a road to choose. Become a distraction or embrace the success and become a man. Bryant isn’t going to help the situation.
Hell I thought the cell phone thing was hilarious after the win when I found out it was a flip phone. He’s just getting more and more vocal.
We don’t need Bryant here. I think he’s a selfish me first player who may not even have anything left.

He was never a fast guy, but he's even slower now. He doesn't consistently win 50-50 balls anymore, which was one of his strengths in his prime.

This is a guy who hasn't been able to secure a job, despite so many teams around the league needing receivers. He's had a handful of workouts with some of those very same teams and nothing has come of it. Most guys in his position get jobs, or at least training camp invites on their reputation alone. The fact that he hasn't is, to me, very telling.

He openly stated he wasn’t signing with anyone who isn’t going to be a legitimate contender.
