Last season with the Dallas Cowboys, Bryant caught 69 passes for 838 yards and six touchdowns. The term “washed up” has been used to describe him over the past few months, but that term isn't close to the truth.

Dallas chose to release Bryant earlier this offseason, which came as a decent shock to quite a few fans. He has been one of the faces of the Cowboys' franchise for years, but cutting him saved some money and also saved the Cowboys some drama.

Sean Payton would likely love to have a weapon like Bryant to utilize alongside Michael Thomas. Bryant may not be the superstar that he once was, but he is still more than capable of making an impact.

Expect to hear more about Bryant in the near future. New Orleans may not end up signing him, but this is certainly something to keep an eye on.
