Maybe your first thought when Antonio Brown publicly advocated for the Steelers to sign erstwhile Dallas Cowboy Dez Bryant was “Hey, this is a really bad idea!” This is a valid concern. The Steelers already boast an armada of high-upside, young, and—Brown notwithstanding—inexpensive wide receivers. Throwing Bryant, 29, into the mix could really toss a wrench into the development of JuJu Smith-Schuster or James Washington. Also, even if the Steelers were interested in signing Bryant, they don’t currently seem to possess the wherewithal to make it happen. Pittsburgh has about $5 million in cap space at the moment, but Bryant has already turned down at least one multiyear offer that would’ve paid him somewhere in the ballpark of $7-8 million annually.
To the contrary, the Steelers should seriously consider signing Dez Bryant
