This has been in the works for a while. Dez hasn't played in a game since 2017, but he's in shape, motivated, and intends to play in 2020.

Baltimore offered Bryant a deal in 2018, but he turned it down and instead signed with the New Orleans Saints before a torn Achilles ended his season in training camp.

Despite turning down the Ravens offer in the past, it seems he's not going to do so again if offered a solid deal. Earlier in the offseason, Bryant said it was a goal of his to join Baltimore and he's also retweeted photos of Lamar Jackson at training camp.

In eight seasons with the Cowboys, Bryant reeled in 531 receptions for 7,459 yards and 73 touchdowns. He's a three-time Pro Bowler and one-time All-Pro.

If he signs in Baltimore, Bryant will join a very talented receiving corps. with Marquise "Hollywood" Brown, Miles Boykin and Devin Duvernay.
