ALAMEDA – The Raiders cut Martavis Bryant less than two weeks ago. They brought him back on Tuesday in a surprising turn that should quickly improve their receiver corps.
The Raiders needed a deep threat, someone to draw safeties' attention and stretch the field vertically.
They chose to go with someone they know.
An NFL source told NBC Sports Bay Area that Bryant will return to the Raiders on a one-year contract. The sides honed in on a deal Tuesday, when Bryant returned to the team’s Alameda training complex.
NFL Network was first to report the news.
