Bryant turned 30 in November. Dez Bryant could be a big asset in the coming weeks.

Dez Bryant has not had a 1,000-yard season since 2014. He even has gone 23 games without a 100-yard game, with his last one coming against Pittsburgh on Nov. 13, 2016.

Bryant turned 30 in November and is rehabbing after Achilles surgery.

Yet, Bryant is hoping someone — anyone? — gives him a chance in 2019.

“I have to [play again],” the receiver said on 105.3 The Fan, via Jon Machota of the Dallas Morning News. “I’ve got business, and I’ve got ball. I can’t end like this. I have to throw the X up.”

Bryant found the free agent market lacking after the Cowboys cut him April 13 to save $8 million against the salary cap. The Ravens offered a multi-year deal and the Browns a one-year deal. He turned down both, while seeking a one-year deal with a contender.

The Saints signed Bryant in November, but he tore his Achilles on the last play of his second practice.

So Bryant might find few opportunities awaiting him after he is fully healed.

Dez Bryant will play his former team for the first time since rejoining the NFL earlier this year.

Dez Bryant New Team

When asked about playing the Cowboys this week, Bryant had a message for Dallas owner Jerry Jones.

“I’m thankful that (Jerry) drafted me and gave me the opportunity to play for his franchise. I’m a Texas boy, so I grew up a Cowboys fan. I’m thankful for that, but I’m here now. I’m excited to be a Baltimore Raven. I’m looking forward to going up against those guys.”

Bryant and the Cowboys owner have a contentious relationship going back to the day when Jones cut the star wide receiver in 2018.

Dallas drafted Dez Bryant back in 2010. The young receiver soon blossomed into one of the top wideouts in the NFL, making First-Team All-Pro in three of his eight years with the Cowboys. Bryant strung together three seasons of double-digit receiving touchdowns, leading the league with 16 in 2014.

After that though, his numbers started to decline. In 2017, Bryant only reeled in six touchdowns through a full 16-game season. Before the 2018 season began, Jones and the Dallas front office decided it was time to cut their former star to free up cap space.

This decision wasn’t mutual. Bryant famously took to Twitter to let Cowboys fans know that he wanted to stay.

“Cowboy nation I need you to know this wasn’t my decision.. I will always love y’all… forever Dallas in my heart,” Bryant wrote after he was cut.

After a long hiatus from the game, Dez Bryant has finally made his return to NFL football.

The receiver signed to the Baltimore Ravens practice squad back in late October. Two weeks ago, Bryant was officially moved up to the Ravens’ 53-man roster. He’s eased his way back into the flow, reeling in four catches for 28 yards through three games played.
