In the first few days on the open market, star wide receiver Dez Bryant has yet to attract any significant interest from around the league. He has become the best available talent in free agency that could step into any situation where will be a high-impact player.
During this process, there have been a few teams that have already bowed out of the mix to possibly acquire the 29-year-old. The Cleveland Browns could be taken off the list as a possible landing spot for Bryant's services this offseason, according to Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com.
The Browns, fresh off signing Jarvis Landry to a mega-deal, are not expected to pursue three-time Pro Bowl receiver Dez Bryant, who was cut by the Cowboys on Saturday, multiple sources tell cleveland.com.
The Browns have just signed Pro Bowl wide receiver Jarvis Landry to a five-year, $75.5 million deal that extends through the 2023 season. On top of that, Cleveland already possesses two other promising talents in Josh Gordon and Corey Coleman that should help elevate their passing game next season with Tyrod Taylor or a rookie quarterback from this year's class.
Bryant's addition would help bring another proven wideout to the mix, but the front office likely doesn't believe that it is a necessary move at this point in time in their revamped offense. Meanwhile, the Jacksonville Jaguars are also out of the picture to land the former Pro Bowler, according to Ryan O'Halloran of the Florida Times-Union.

Jacksonville appears to be satisfied by the slew of moves that they have made this offseason despite the departure of both Allen Robinson and Allen Hurns. The team brought back Marqise Lee on a new deal along with bringing aboard former Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Donte Moncrief. The team also revamped at the tight position by adding Austin Seferian Jenkins and Niles Paul to replace longtime starter Marcedes Lewis, who was released last month.
With Bryant's market getting smaller, it should provide him more of a feel of where he would fit best in this chapter of his career. He is still a highly talented wide receiver that has the ability to be a legitimate No.1 option in the passing game. It should just be a matter of time before Bryant works toward finding his next home in the NFL.
