If the market doesn’t come after you, sometimes you go after the market. In Dez Bryant’s case, grudgingly. And poorly.
That’s what is happening now. After face-palming serious overtures from the Cleveland Browns for weeks, Bryant made his way to the franchise last Thursday. He seemed genuinely interested in playing for head coach Hue Jackson when the visit was ultimately broadcast on HBO’s “Hard Knocks.”
Fast-forward to this week, and Bryant is waving the New England Patriots pom-poms on social media, saying quarterback Tom Brady “has always been my favorite player” and gushing over the strategic mind of coach Bill Belichick, which he called “1 in a million”.
