As a group, the Dallas Cowboys are admittedly down in the dumps about their own failing situation at 3-5 but they were perked up and excited about the news of former teammate Dez Bryant signing a one-year deal with the New Orleans Saints.
Bryant, 30, the Cowboys all-time leader in touchdown receptions, has been unemployed since being released after eight combustible but often spectacular seasons April 13.
Receiver Cole Beasley sent Bryant a congratulatory tweet and linebacker Jaylon Smith did the same while adding he wanted to swap jerseys with Bryant when the two teams meet AT&T Stadium on November 29.
