CLEVELAND – The Browns interest in former free agent receiver Dez Bryant has fallen to the wayside in recent weeks since the former Cowboys star visited the team a few weeks ago. Now, according to a report from Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com, the two sides could resume talking in Week Two of the regular season.
The team’s willingness to rekindling the conversation apparently revolves around the vested veteran guarantee, which grants veteran players with four or more seasons in the NFL with a one-time opportunity at termination pay. Essentially, if a “vested veteran” is on a teams roster before the season starts and then released at any point after that said player is still promised the entire balance of his base salary for the season, even if he signs elsewhere.
