Dez Bryant: I have no interest in playing football right now

I am officially over wanting Dez Bryant on this team

That injury at his age is more than most overcome.

Re: Dez Bryant: I have no interest in playing football right now

I don't think he's done. Injuries will continue to happen across the league so Dez could get another shot and I hope he makes the most of it. I wanted him to ball hard in New Orleans. It just wasn't meant to be.

Lord knows we could have used him in the NFCCG vs Rams instead of Brees having to check down to Tommy Lee :rolleyes: .

Training camp doesn't pay enough and teams are testing others.

Re: Dez Bryant: I have no interest in playing football right now

I have never understood this fan base's hype over Dez Bryant. I'm guessing not many people watched his last year in Dallas or have just forgotten how bad he was in 2017.

Before he signed with the Saints, it was pretty much universally accepted everywhere that he was washed up and had been a disappointment in Dallas.

Dak Prescott had the highest INT percentage of any QB targeting a specific WR when it came to Bryant in 2017. THAT was the reason Dallas wanted to move on with him, besides his mouth and attitude. Go back and watch tape of Dez in 2016 and 2017 and count all the dropped passes and how often the ball wound bounce out of his hands and become an INT. Dez had his peak around 2013-2015 and was never the same again after that. He was at best, a mediocre WR whom never lived up to his hype. You really have to consider why Dallas didn't want to bring him back with their lack of depth at WR last year.

NO TEAM wanted him last year. Not even a desperate team like Buffalo or the Jets wanted him. He didn't have any stigma on him like Kaepernick with the protests, so you have to really think about this. There was a reason no one wanted him. We only kicked the tires at him when we desperately needed another WR and Brandon Marshall didn't work out.

Dez spent months last year just sitting on the couch posting on Twitter. He came into practice out of shape and got hurt before he could even start a game for us.

Knowing Dez, he would've dropped the ball or it would've bounced out of his hands and become an INT.

Re: Dez Bryant: I have no interest in playing football right now

And nobody has any interest in you playing for them right now.

Re: Dez Bryant: I have no interest in playing football right now

Aw too bad. I thought he was all about running his mouth. Now he bout family values and keepin it real. Home is where the heart be.

Re: Dez Bryant: I have no interest in playing football right now

All that means is that he's waiting for a phone call.

Re: Dez Bryant: I have no interest in playing football right now

At some point in time he will end up with the Raiders.. if he returns.

He would have done no worse than what Tommy L brought to the table.

Just saw that. Boy he likes to talk out of both sides of his mouth.

Funny how two people can see the same thing but have a completely, totally different reactions. The Saints gave Dez a ton of respect last year, even after his injury, even though he did nothing to help our squad. Frankly, I appreciate the fact that he's declaring that we are his #1 destination should he come back. I'm not sure I understand why that's a negative.

Yeah. I was wondering the same thing. Dez had nothing but great things about how the Saints supported him throughout.
