Dez Bryant Thankful To Ravens, Looking For New Team Once Again
WR Dez Bryant is once again looking for a new team after his one year Ravens deal didn’t work out.
The Dallas Cowboys released Dez Bryant in April 2018 after three poor seasons. That September, he joined the New Orleans Saints only to tear his Achilles tendon days later.
The Baltimore Ravens took a chance on him, and signed him to a one year contract for last season. Dez Bryant worked his way in from the practice squad, but only played 6 games.
In those six games, he had six catches for 47 yards and two touchdowns. Baltimore’s was a tough roster to break into, especially for a wide receiver.Â

The 2020 Ravens set an all-time NFL record for rushing, and led the league in rushing again in 2021. Bryant said he realised fast that his game wasn’t suitable for the franchise.
“I’ll speak on my personal experience,” Bryant said.Â
“I was in a position where everything was already established, I took advantage of getting myself right. I realized quick Baltimore wasn’t the place for me … no bad blood that’s their way of doing things so you gotta respect it.
“No OTAs, no mini camp and coming in midway through the season is not normal,” Bryant added.Â
“I wasn’t bothered about playing time. I enjoyed myself I met some great teammates. Guys I feel like I will be keeping in contact for a long time. I’m thankful for the opportunity Baltimore gave me.”

Dez Bryant also revealed that he plans on playing for another two years. However, the 6-foot-2, 220 pound wide receiver has only played 6 times in 3 years. The former All-Pro’s phone won’t be ringing as much as it used to.
