It has been nearly three weeks since Dez Bryant has hit the open market after the Dallas Cowboys made the decision to part ways with him following eight seasons. There has yet to be any significant interest in him aside from the Baltimore Ravens making an offer to him.
However, Adam Schefter of ESPN is reporting that there are “far more” teams that are unwilling to even pay Bryant the league minimum to even sign him to a contract at any rate.
Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that there are “far more” teams unwilling to pay Bryant the league minimum salary than there are teams that would consider signing Bryant for any contract.
All of this continued chatter only further underlines that Bryant is no longer viewed as being the player he once was. His inability to produce at an elite level along with his strong personality has pushed teams away from voicing any true interest in him. It also doesn't help that he has remained firm on his asking price to being paid at a sizeable rate for at least the 2018 season while eyeing a one-year deal to be able to enter the free agent market against next offseason.
The 29-year-old has struggled to play at a high level that would warrant a significant pay as he has failed to break 1,000 receiving yards in any of the last three seasons. There is also the fact that one of his former coaches stated that he has an inability to create separation in one-on-one matchups, which only further shows that his physical ability has declined.
This may lead to the market thinning out a bit more Bryant finds a suitable spot to play the next chapter of his career. Until then, he will likely continue to remain afloat on the open market.
