Although he is no longer a member of the Dallas Cowboys, teams are still asking the Cowboys about free agent wide receiver Dez Bryant.
Bryant, 29, has been sitting on the free agent market with not a lot of interest being generated, despite Bryant’s big name.
Cowboys’ Vice President Stephen Jones says teams have check in on Bryant.
“You know at the (NFL owners) meetings I have had different conversations about him,” Jones said, according to Clarence E. Hill Jr. of the Dallas Star-Telegram.
“At the competition committee meeting, some of the coaches there speak to it. I’m sure other coaches have called our coaches and wanted input on him. The greatest thing about Dez is he is a fierce competitor. I think he is now more driven and more competitive than he has ever been. We wish him nothing but the best.”
Jones is a bit surprised that Bryant hasn’t latched on to a new team yet.
“I am sure Dez is being thoughtful,” Jones stated. ”I don’t know the details as to why he hasn’t picked a home. I am sure he is being very thoughtful about it. I am sure he has good people talking to him too. I am sure at the end of the day he is being thoughtful about what his next steps should be. I am sure he is working hard. No one is rooting for Dez more than we are.”
