Tom Pelissero of NFL Media reports that the Cowboys have released Martavis Bryant, who was reinstated to the league last year after being suspended indefinitely in 2018. The 32-year-old receiver had joined Dallas’ practice squad towards the end of the season but never played in a regular-season game. Although he was let go from the practice squad in January, he later signed a futures deal with the team.
Pelissero also notes that other teams are expected to show interest in signing Bryant now that he is a free agent. In addition to releasing Bryant, the Cowboys have also brought in veteran receiver Zay Jones for a visit on Wednesday, indicating he could potentially replace Bryant on the roster.
Bryant has not played in an NFL game since 2018 when he caught 19 passes for 266 yards in eight games for the Raiders. He was drafted by the Steelers in the fourth round in 2014 and has had several ups and downs throughout his career due to suspensions and injuries. However, his journey back to the NFL will now take a different route as he looks for a new team to continue his career and make an impact on the field once again.
