Dez Bryant might be heading to New Orleans.
After working out for the
Saints, the All-Pro wideout left without a contract but the team liked what they saw and the sides are in negotiations on a deal, sources told NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport and NFL Network's Tom Pelissero and Jane Slater.
He's been close before, so nothing's done until it's done, but all signs are pointing that way, Pelissero added.
Bryant has been team-less since the 'Boys released him in April. He has visited multiple teams, including the
Cleveland Browns in August, but has yet to sign.
The
Saints also worked out former
Seattle Seahawksreceiver
Brandon Marshall and former
Ravens wide receiver
Kamar Aiken.
If signed by the Super Bowl-contending
Saints, Bryant (30 years old) would join a receivers' room led by
Michael Thomas and populated by
Tre'Quan Smith,
Austin Carr and
Cameron Meredith.
The
Saints play the
Cowboys in Arlington on Nov. 29 in prime time. Get your popcorn ready if this deal takes place.
